The basis for the 1994 American hit, Speed, the Japanese action thriller The Bullet Train (Shinkansen Daibakuha, 1975) stars Ken Takakura (The Yakuza) as a mad bomber who plants a device on a high-speed Japanese train, programmed to detonate if the train’s speed drops below 80 kilometers per hour. His design: to collect a multi-million-dollar ransom.

Also starring martial arts hero Sonny Chiba (G.I. Samurai) as the train’s clever engineer, The Bullet Train is directed for maximum impact by Junya Satô (The Silk Road).

Special features on this Twilight Time release include an isolated music & effects track and the featurette “Big Movie, Big Panic: Junya Sato on The Bullet Train.”
