Yakuza and Bar Fights in Tokyo Drifter

Posted on 10. Oct, 2008 @ 10:07 pm by harvey in Media

I recently saw Tokyo Drifter 「東京流れ者」and really enjoyed it.

This movie has everything… A catchy theme song, yakuza, disco, crazy fight scenes including foreigners, English speaking 60s girls, crazy car driving, ridiculous gun tossing action scenes, and blue suits in the snow. Yet, after all that, the main character still has this respectable air about him… That frankly makes me want to be him. He’s a drifter. He doesn’t need women.

Some cuts from the movie along with the theme song are on Youtube.

I would love to own the sound track to this… But haven’t found it anywhere yet… Let me know if you know where I can find it!

    Hotwax has released a number of ’60s Nikkatsu yakuza soundtrack CDs but I’m not sure of “Tokyo Drifter” is on there. Hotwax is a great source for old exploitation soundtracks—who doesn’t need music from sukeban films?
