However, when the robbery goes awry, Takashi finds himself alone and his getaway foiled. Trailed by the police, his lover, his partner-in-crime’s brother, and countless others, Takashi becomes the target of a manhunt filled with twists, double-crosses and explosive action.

From director Kinji Fukasaku (Battles Without Honor and Humanity, Wolves, Pigs and Men) is a “cult film spectacle that pulls out all the stops” (Make Mine Criterion). Fast-paced, unrelenting, and featuring a conclusion that ranks among the most legendary car chases in film, VIOLENT PANIC: THE BIG CRASH is one of the most action-packed masterpieces of Fukasaku’s career.
