This is kind of a DIRTY DOZEN deal with a group of ne'er-do-wells(Sonny Chiba being the main one of course) sent on a mission to infiltrate some Japanese drug-dealing gangsters. There aren't 12 tough guys though, just 5, with one of them not showing up until almost the end of the film. Mr. Chiba plays a ninja here and his partners include a disgraced ex-cop and a depraved sexual pervert who gets hard-ons throughout the film at weird times. This one features some nudity and really delivers on the violence with blood flowing and Chiba breaking bones(one guy gets a rib ripped out of his chest!) and is fun even if it all is pretty predictable.
THE EXECUTIONER 2: KARATE INFERNO was the sequel though it was way more of a goofy martial arts flick than the original.
