Okaerinasai! Following a brief summer hiatus, The Last Action Heroes are back baby! This time we are taking on the Yakuza as we are escorted to the Land of The Rising Sun by renegade cop and dad with a mullet Michael Douglas in the 1989 Ridley Scott noir thriller BLACK RAIN.
After witnessing a bloody and brutal Yakuza killing in a bustling New York restaurant, Detectives Nick Conklin and Charlie Vincent are tasked with escorting deranged murderer Sato back to Japan and handing him over to the authorities. However, after a daring escape at Osaka airport, the detectives soon find themselves in a dangerous game of cat and mouse in a hostile foreign landscape, bound by honour and tradition where not everyone is playing by the rules.
Dripping with style and 80s aesthetic, East vs West visual motifs and featuring possibly the most tenuous link to its title we have ever come across, join BJORN KACHO-SAN, LEON-SAN, JESPER-SAN and DAN-SAN as we seek to find out if Michael Douglas really is the baddest renegade cop on the block or is he just having a mid-life crisis?
Will Black Rain have the strongest of hearts or will it leave us holding on?
