THE "SLEEPY EYES OF DEATH" SERIES

This undoubtedly has been one of the most requested out-of-print titles we've ever received. But good news! On July 14, 2009, a 4-DVD Box Set will be on sale for fans everywhere.

This series was originally available years ago on VHS but AnimEigo lost the license and, until now, the episodes were not available to the public.

The series stars the incomparable Raizo Ichikawa, "the James Dean of Japan."

"... one of the most original, nihilistic anti-heroes ever to emerge from world literature." -- Chris D., author of "Outlaw Masters of Japanese Film" and programmer at The American Cinematheque.

The boxed set includes 1) A booklet packed with images, historical notes, film info, credits, and more. 2) Audio commentary by film scholar Ric Meyers and author/martial arts expert Jeff Rovin. 3) Program notes. 4) Image gallery. 5) Trailers and cast/crew bios.

Discs: 4
Run time: 338 mins. (4 films) + extras
Info: Color, released in Japan in 1963/1964
Language: Japanese w/English subtitles
