When he is enlisted to take down a drug cartel alongside Hayabusa (Makoto Sato), a disgraced former narcotics detective now operating within the criminal underworld, and renegade Aikido master Sakura (Eiji Gō), tensions grow among this three-man team of ne'er-do-wells as each come to question each other’s motives. Koga returns in the even more gung-ho follow up, Karate Inferno, as the ringmaster of a gang of thieves plotting to steal a priceless jewel from a master criminal.\u003cbr\u003e\nMaking its High Definition home-video debut, The Executioner is presented in both its original Japanese-language version and with the English dub track from the 1970s North American release. Fans of the Street Fighter star will delight as Chiba pitches himself into a succession of freewheeling action and feisty fight scenes in this double dish of martial arts mayhem, all served up in director Ishii’s characteristically lurid style.\u003cbr\u003e\nSPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS\u003cbr\u003e\nHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation\u003cbr\u003e\nOriginal uncompressed Japanese mono audio for both films\u003cbr\u003e\nOriginal uncompressed English mono audio track for The Executioner\u003cbr\u003e\nOptional English subtitles\u003cbr\u003e\nBrand new audio commentary by Chris Poggiali and Marc Walkow\u003cbr\u003e\nSonny Chiba, Karate King, a 30-minute featurette on the legendary Sonny Chiba, featuring Grady Hendrix, Tom Mes, Chris Poggiali, Marco Joachim and Seiji Anno, from the band Guitar Wolf\u003cbr\u003e\nOriginal trailers\u003cbr\u003e\nImage galleries for The Executioner and The Executioner II: Karate Inferno\u003cbr\u003e\nReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Lucas Peverill\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0760137117476\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.8 x 5.9 x 0.7 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English, Japanese\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brand New","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50714235961430,"sku":"B0BKN6Z71Z","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0720\/7433\/0198\/files\/91NsD-RZY7L.jpg?v=1792303268","url":"https:\/\/duanes-world-2.myshopify.com\/products\/the-executioner-collection-special-edition-blu-ray","provider":"Duane's World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
