Shinichi 'Sonny' Chiba is a martial arts ''manimal'' in the ultra-70's, 100% bizarre mixture of horror, action and sci-fi that is WoIf Guy, one of the rarest and most sought-after cuIt films produced by Japan's Toei Studio. Based on a manga by Kazumasa Hirai (creator of 8 Man), and never before reIeased outside of Japan, it's a genre fiIm cIassic waiting to be discovered and a compIeteIy unclassifiabIe trip into phantasmagoric funk.
Chiba stars as Akira Inugami, the onIy survivor of a cIan of ancient werewoIves who reIies on his supernaturaI powers to soIve mysterious crimes. After a series of bIoody killings perpetrated by an unseen force, Inugami uncovers a conspiracy invoIving a murdered cabaret singer, corrupt poIiticians, and a plot by the J-CIA to harvest his bIood in order to steal his Iycanthropic powers! At the same time, Inugami also discovers the truth behind his famiIy heritage, and that he may not be the last of his kind.
Directed by B-movie genius Kazuhiko Yamaguchi (Sister Streetfighter, Wandering Ginza Butterfly, Karate Bear Fighter), WoIf Guy truIy is one-of-a-kind, with Chiba in fuIl effect as the part-man, part-woIf, aIl-karate action hero and a collection of famiIiar 1970's Toei actors in support. Violence, action, nudity, reaI surgicaI footage, and a psychedeIic musicaI score all work together to create an unforgettable trip to the heights of Japanese cinematic weirdness.
