Daisuke is a combat photographer trying to save his stewardess girlfriend, Yoriko, from an alliance of American mobsters and Japanese yakuza. What he soon discovers is that everyone is after a cache of gold hidden by Yoriko's late father after WWII.
Overview:
A mod/pop art sixties masterpiece masquerading as a gangster/spy spoof, "Black Tight Killers" ("Ore Ni Sawaru To Abunaize", roughly "Don't Touch Me, I'm Dangerous") stars then-current matinee idol and singing star Akira Kobayashi as Daisuke, a combat photographer trying to save his stewardess girlfriend, Yoriko (Chieko Matsubara), from an alliance of American mobsters and Japanese "yakuza" (gangsters). He's alternately helped and hindered by a strange band of girl assassins who use razor-sharp 45 rpm records as weapons and wads of bubblegum to blind pursuers. What he soon discovers is that everyone is after a cache of gold hidden by Yoriko's late father immediately after World War II. The first film from one of Nikkatsu Studios' most talented late-sixties directors, Yasuharu Hasebe, "Black Tight Killers" shows a definite influence from Hasebe's mentor, the iconoclastic and brilliant Seijun Suzuki ("Branded To Kill", "Tokyo Drifter").
