On March 11, 2024, Third Window Films is releasing the Blu-ray (Region B) for One Percenter, starring martial arts star, Tak Sakaguchi (Battlefield Baseball, Re:Born).

For the film, Sakaguchi re-teams with filmmaker Yudai Yamaguchi, who previously worked with Tak as writer on Versus, and as director on Yakuza Weapon. These two, packaged with choreographer Kensuke Sonomura (Hyrda), earns One Percenter a spot on your must-see list.

Action film actor Takuma Toshiro is a man with only one goal: the perfection of action film acting. But when his samurai-approach to the profession clashes with an industry addicted to wires, CGI and quick edits, Toshiro and his trusty apprentice Akira decide to make their dream film themselves. When actual violence finds its way onto their film set in the form of yakuza mobsters looking for a hidden cache of drugs, Toshiro and Akira are suddenly thrust into action. Is this the ideal opportunity to take his “Real Action” to the next level? As lives are lost and chaos ensues, Toshiro finds that the gap between action “fantasy” and “reality” isn’t quite what he thought!

One Percenter also stars Rumika Fukuda (Kamen Rider Faiz 20th: Paradise Regained), Sho Aoyagi (Yakuza Apocalypse) and Togo Ishii.

Features:

  • Audio Commentary by Arne Venema and Mike Leeder
  • Making Of
  • Trailers
  • Reversible Sleeves

This title will soon be available at The Goodie Emporium, a U.S.-based online store that currently has many Import Shaw Brothers/Golden Harvest/martial arts DVD/Blu-ray movies in-stock – with New titles being added regularly!

  1. This guy has retired more times than Frank Sinatra!

    “According to FCS, tickets for One Percenter go on sale this March for the locals ahead of its November release in Japan”

    Huh!? Does the cinema it’s going to show in only have 5 seats or something?

      it seems you don’t like Sakaguchi …are you envious ..? he is innovative in combat techniques ..like zero range combat or wave combat …you should appreciate his skills …

      • Big fan of Tak Sakaguchi here! But I mean, even blockbuster franchises like the Marvel flicks don’t pre-sell their tickets 8 months before a movies release! Looking forward to seeing him back in action!

    The director also made Deadball, which starred Sakaguchi as well. One of the greatest movies of all time.
