The Great Chase AKA: Karei-Naru Tsuiseki
Region 0 (ALL REGION PLAY / NO REGION CODE) - NTSC Format *CUSTOM DVD* YEAR: 1975
Running Time: 83 mins. approx. CAST: Etsuko Shihomi Eiji Go Rikiya Yasuoka Bin Amatsu Hisako Tanaka Mach Fumiake Masashi Ishibashi Yoichi Numata Shohei Yamamoto Fujika Omori Toru Yuri Torahiko Hamada Directed by: Norifumi Suzuki
Etsuko Shihomi plays a race car driver who also lends out her services to the Japanese Secret Service. Although there really isn't much of a "chase" to be seen, Shihomi does pursue a cartel of drug runners and assorted Japanese yakuza types. While the story is pure 70's exploitation and gritty crime drama, the best reason to see it is for the Martial Arts Action of Etsuko Shihomi. The action is over-the-top and at times hilarious (i.e. Shihomi battling the lead criminal atop a moving gondola or Shihomi battling a whip-wielding Catholic Nun).
