• Sonny Chiba Action Pack, courtesy Bci Eclipse
An explosive trio of films starring action icon Sonny Chiba. Virus (1980) was the most expensive Japanese film ever made at the time of its production. Filmed in English with a mostly American cast, the film follows the few survivors of a military-designed virus that has wiped out most of mankind. Chiba stars alongside Glenn Ford, Chuck Connors, George Kennedy, Olivia Hussey, Henry Silva, Edward James Olmos and Robert Vaughn. Golgo 13 (1977) is the live action version of the best-selling manga comic book that would later become the basis for a popular series of anime films. Sonny plays the hard-boiled hitman out to kill a Hong Kong underworld kingpin. Yukio Noda's film boasts plenty of exciting shootouts and martial arts mayhem. Finally, Bullet Train (1975) is an action-suspense classic that inspired the American blockbuster Speed. A madman (Ken Takakura) plants a bomb on a train and threatens to blow it up unless his demands are met. While the police try to track down the person responsible, it's up to the heroic train conductor (Chiba) to keep the passengers calm and to find the bomb and disarm it.
