About Brutal Battle
The president of the Hong Kong Almond Cola company, Liu's grandfather, signed a purchase and sale agreement with Showa Nakajima from Japan, and shortly before leaving for Japan, someone attacked him. Before he died, before he lost consciousness, he transferred all the rights to the company to his close confidant Murota and told him to transfer them to his daughter, whom he left in Japan 20 years ago. Murota, who inherited Liu's will, went to Japan. However, the gang of James Howe, the head of the Hong Kong trading world, was waiting for him, seeking to obtain the rights to Almond Cola…
Directed by Kimio Iwaki, Brutal Battle leans on a strong ensemble — Rikidōzan, Kōji Nanbara, Yachiyo Ōtori — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1959.
