The Rapacious Jailbreaker Limited Edition Blu-Ray

In the chaos following World War II, black market dealer Ueda (Hiroki Matsukata, Cops vs Thugs) is robbed of a morphine supply. He takes brutal revenge, but is arrested for murder and sentenced to 20 years in prison. He escapes and is recaptured, but no matter where they send him, Ueda will not let prison walls stop him. Directed by a master of the genre and based on the real-life exploits of a seven-time prison escapee, this ranks as one of the rawest entries in the 1970s cycle of Japanese crime films based on true stories.
