"Becoming a boxer isn't easy. Can you hate people?" "I can!" 🥊 🇯🇵 Radiance Films has revealed their new modern trailer for the new Blu-ray re-release of the "lost" 1977 Japanese sports movie classic The Boxer, arriving to own later this month. A 70s classic about a boxer, made just one year after Rocky first debuted in the US in 1976. Reviews state it "will stay with you for all the right reasons... A worthy contender for the title of 'Best boxing movie ever made.'" A young ambitious boxer named Tenma accidentally kills an ex-boxing champion's brother. He then approaches the ex-champ to train him to become the next champion. Starring Bunta Sugawara and Kentarô Shimizu. This fresh new HD upgrade features new and improved English subtitle translation, an essay, a Toei video, and more. I like this synopsis for it much more: In the midst of a match, a successful boxer - Hayato, has had enough of the sport. He lets himself get knocked, quits boxing, leaving his wife and start living alone with his mangy dog. One day a young mediocre boxer knocks at the door and wants to be Hayato's apprentice. The cinematography in this by DP Tatsuo Suzuki is spectacular. So many dynamic shots, so much vivid color, it's awesome. Well now I have to see this! Check it out below. // Continue Reading ›
