Playgirl assassins a-go-go!
A mod/pop art sixties masterpiecemasquerading 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).
