“A terrific central concept: a bomb is planted on one of Japan’s 200-mph Shinkansen expresses, timed to explode as soon as the train slows to a certain speed…All that’s required from Ken Takakura (as the chief bomber) is his presence, which he delivers.” – Time Out London
“A nice, nail-biting thriller…there is a lot to like here. This occasionally kooky material makes for some interesting suspense.” – Bill Gibron, DVD Verdict
The basis for the 1994 American hit, Speed, The Bullet Train (Shinkansen Daibakuha, 1975) stars the wonderful Ken Takakura (The Yakuza) as a mad bomber who plants a device on a high-speed Japanese train, programmed to detonate if the train’s speed drops below 80 kilometers per hour. His design: to collect a multi-million-dollar ransom. Also starring martial arts hero Sonny Chiba as the train’s clever engineer; directed by Junya Satô (The Silk Road).
