Description
[Machine Translation] TOYOTA 2000GT vs. Mazda Savanna RX-3! Japan's most famous cars race down the highway at midnight! The best Japanese car action movie, now on Blu-ray for the first time. Young people running on public roads at night, repulsed by something, two love-struck cars intertwining with each other in a tremendous speed, brilliant cine-jazz clashing with roaring exhaust notes, and a man and a woman running at full speed with their lives on fire.... Based on an original story by Hiroyuki Itsuki and directed by Kiyoshi Nishimura, the genius of the Toho New Action genre, this is a masterpiece of action that can only be described as a miracle. In an era when there was no such thing as computer graphics, the images of the famous TOYOTA 2000GT racing through the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway and Yokohama at breakneck speeds are all genuine. The images are all genuine and could never have been shot in the modern era, when there were no traffic regulations. This film was produced based on the belief that "we will never depict a lie about cars..." In addition to Kiyoshi Misaki, who plays the main role, the film features active racers of the time such as Nobuhide Tachi and Fumiyasu Sato, and Yoshio Ohtsubo, a former works driver for Team Toyota in the 1960s, participated as the technical director. The film features racing scenes shot at the actual Macau Grand Prix and car action on public roads, and is a masterpiece of Japanese car action that is as powerful and realistic as the Hollywood car action masterpieces such as "Britt". The film is further enhanced by the original soundtrack by Masaaki Kikuchi, one of the biggest names in the Japanese jazz world. The sound was created not as a sound accompanying the images, but as a sound that stands on an equal footing with the images, and its collision with the images creates a texture of a different dimension that cannot be found anywhere else. --Since the Macau Grand Prix, Shunya Shimao's name has disappeared from the racing world. The trauma of the accidental death of his rival Misawa has robbed Shimao of the single-minded passion he had for racing. He now works as an instructor at a driving school, but his face no longer shows the vitality that it once did, and it is now tinged with the apathy of a man whose youth is already over.
