From the Toy Robot Video press release:
On
October 20, the Japanese cross-country crime epic
Manhunt makes its North American debut on Blu-ray. Director
Junya Sato’s film became a massive success in China, reportedly drawing more than 800 million moviegoers.
Tokyo prosecutor Fuyuto Morioka (
Ken Takakura,
Golgo 13,
Black Rain) finds himself in police custody after a woman accuses him of robbery, only for things to get worse when a man also claims to have been victimized by Morioka on the same night. With no solid alibi, the prosecutor is taken home, where police uncover the stolen loot. The law-abiding prosecutor escapes custody and goes on the run to uncover the conspiracy against him, while Detective Yamura (
Yoshio Harada,
Lady Snowblood 2: Love Song of Vengeance) chases him across Japan. When Morioka begins to investigate who might want to see him locked up, he uncovers a dark web of corruption involving a dangerous mind-controlling drug developed by a sinister pharmaceutical company. A star-studded blockbuster featuring some of Japan's most familiar actors, including
Kunie Tanaka,
Ryo Ikebe and
Ko Nishimura,
Manhunt was a surprise box-office smash, inspiring a 2017 remake by
John Woo, and is now presented in a brand-new restoration.
The bonus features include a brand-new audio commentary by
Jasper Sharp and
Amber T., a brand-new introduction with Japanese film specialist
Mark Schilling, a discussion of the film and its production by
Junya Sato biographers
Masaaki Nomura and
Tatsuya Masuto, two text essays, “Scaling The (Great) Wall to Freedom” and “Believing in Ken Takakura,” the original theatrical trailer, a stills gallery, DTS-HD MA 2.0 Mono Japanese audio, and optional English subtitles.
