Black Tight Killers Blu-ray unleashes a hyper-stylish blast of 1960s Japanese pop espionage from director Yasuharu Hasebe. After falling for stewardess Yoriko (Chieko Matsubara), war photographer Hondo (Akira Kobayashi) watches her abducted by a squad of lethal female assassins who wield vinyl records as weapons. His search pulls him into a lurid conspiracy involving buried WWII gold, family secrets, and a parade of outrageous threats that include go-go dancing ninjas and chewing-gum bullets. Every bit as flamboyant and inventive as the films of Hasebe’s mentor Seijun Suzuki, Black Tight Killers stands as a candy-coloured spy spoof in the lineage of Modesty Blaise and Danger: Diabolik!. This Radiance Blu-ray presents the film in high definition with key archival extras.
