Golgo 13 | Blu-ray (Eureka)
On July 17, 2023, Eureka will be releasing a Blu-ray (Region B) for Golgo 13, a 1973 actioner directed by Junya Sato (1975’s The Bullet Train) and starring Ken Takakura (The Yakuza).
Based on Takao Saito’s popular Manga and Anime of the same name, Takakura stars as Golgo 13, a professional assassin for hire (Note: In 1977, Sonny Chiba starred in his own live-action adaptation, Golgo 13: Assignment Kowloon)
