Eureka Entertainment Line Up Sonny Chiba’s BEAST FIGHTER Films for A June Release
In Karate Bullfighter (or Champion of Death), a karate tournament is crashed by an enigmatic martial artist calling himself Ōyama (Chiba), who arrives in tattered rags and beats all who dare challenge him. But Ōyama’s entrance into the world of karate has unforeseen consequences, and soon he is fighting for far more than sporting victory. Then, in Karate Bearfighter, Ōyama is expelled from the karate community for refusing to pull his punches. With nowhere else to turn, he takes a job with the yakuza after running into Kimura (Hideo Murota), who Ōyama once knew as a fellow member of the Imperial Japanese Air Service before he turned to a life of crime. Ultimately, though, Ōyama has no more respect for his superiors on the streets than he did in the dojo…

RE:BORN: Hero Musings Set The Tone For The Breakneck New U.K. Trailer
Four years since stirring talk of sequels and a retirement, it wasn’t until the last few years we finally started learning what to make of all that noise with the announcement of the new movie, Re:Born. The messaging on that film’s development then slowly seuged from talk of his final film endeavor to something much more ceremonial in the cult action star’s return, which is understandably confusing. Forgiveable? Well, why not?
A legendary soldier with a mysterious past decides to unleash his inner beast to stand up for what he cares about.
RE:BORN marks the comeback of Tak Sakaguchi (Versus, Alive, Shinobi:Heart Under Blade), often described as one of the most under-rated actors in the action movie scene, and this film highlights him at his very best. Director Yuji Shimomura (Flash Point, Warriors Way, Gantz:Perfect Wars) teamed up with fight choreographyer Yoshitaka Inagawa, a former close combat instructor for U.S. Special Forces and other international commando units. The film showcases Inugawa’s Zero Range Combat System – a technique focused around extremely quick and efficient movements at close range.
Indeed, 2016’s trending ta6gline, “Tak Is Back”, has some weight to it since the actor’s last appearance in Sono Sion’s riproaring, gory action comedy love letter to celluloid, Why Don’t You Play In Hell? Having abstained away from lead roles for a short while, Re:Born nonetheless hails a necessary comeback for an adorned festival favorite. Moreover, that longtime film friend and confidant Shimomura Yuji directs is also a major plus, marking Re:Born as his second narrative feature since helming Sakaguchi’s 2005 fantasy action thriller, Death Trance, which went rumored for a sequel more four years ago (something that made news of Sakaguchi’s retirement all the more surprising and saddening).
Re:Born is still slated for more exclusive screenings with its U.K. premiere slated for September 16 as part of The Fighting Spirit Festival line-up. Eureka Entertainment announced its own forthcoming home viewing release in the U.K. last month, and has since a presented a thrilling new trailer that packs as much promise as it does punch.
Check it out.
TAG: Sion Sono’s Psychedelic Horror Thriller Lands A Dual Format UK Home Release This November
Eureka Entertainment has unleashed a grand raft of titles it has acquired for lucky movie fans in the U.K., some of which are set for festival screenings in the coming months. One of their titles is an adorned crowdpleaser courtesy of the warped mind of director Sion Sono with surreal 2015 action horror Tag.
Loosely adapted from Yamada Yusuke 2001 novel, its applied narrative centers on a young high school girl entrapped between three lives and identities with dark forces in hot pursuit. Sion’s twisted fantasy nod to feminism and popular culture is presented with a touch of action and ultra-gore with an arthouse aesthetic that nonetheless thrills and resonates with loads of entertainment value.
Best of all here is that Eureka has announced it for a Dual Format release on November 20 with pre-orders now up and running, and a trailer just below the announcement to show for their efforts.
Japanese auteur Sion Sono follows up the deliriously entertaining Tokyo Tribe, with Tag, a surreal horror that combines his arthouse aesthetics with equal doses of pro-feminist action fantasy, and the kind of ultra-gory exploitation filmmaking that would make Takashi Miike and Yoshihiro Nishimura proud.
Mitsuko (Reina Triendl) is the sole survivor of a bizarre paranormal incident that kills all of her classmates. Running for her life, Mitsuko seemingly slips into an alternate reality, but death and chaos seems to follow her everywhere. As Mitsuko finds herself in increasingly surreal and violent situations, the true horror behind her nightmare is revealed.
With a jaw-dropping opening sequence reminiscent of Sono’s earlier cult masterpiece, Suicide Club, Tag is a mind-bending slice of action-horror, Alice in Wonderland meets Tokyo Gore Police, and Eureka Entertainment is proud to present the film on Blu-ray and DVD.
