Outlaw: Black Dagger

Once again Keichi Ozawa is at the helm for the 5th installment of the Outlaw Gangster VIP series starring Tetsuya Watari, Outlaw: Black Dagger (1968). I must say that the extreme uses of Cheiko Matsubara hits a high point here as she plays the recently slayed Yuri from the previous installment and the maternal nurse sister, Shizuko, of Miura (Ichiro Nakaya). There's not much to distinguish this installment from the others, except that it moves from Osaka in Kansai to Tachikawa in Western Tokyo to the pleasure quarters near the American airbase-so the sleazy bars,clubs, and hourly hotels make a good backdrop for yakuza knife fights.
