Watch Aikawa Sho Battle Zombies In The New Teaser For Z-ISLAND!
I admit that I have not had the privilege to see a lot of beloved actor Aikawa Sho‘s films after just discovering him for myself as early as 2002 in the Kane Kosugi action vehicle, Muscle Heat. Although, of the few movies I have seen him in, I can fully understand why he has long been a fan favorite, and so am I, especially in lieu of last month’s ceremonial crime thriller, 25 Nijyu-Go in which Aikawa starred, partaking in the 25-year celebration of Japanese V-Cinema entertainment.
SYNOPSIS:
Ten years after the big fight, Munakata Hiroya (Aikawa) leader of the yakuza group Munakata-gumi, reunites with surrogate younger brother and ex-con Takashi (Tsurumi) upon his release from prison. When Takashi’s daughter, Hyuga (Yamamoto) runs away from home in protest against seeing her father, the two, along with Munakata’s subordinate Shinya (Red Rice) follow her to Zeni Island where they find themselves in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, and rescuing Hyuga will take a lot more than restrengthening the bond between father and daughter if they’re going to make it out of the island alive!
