The Age of Assassins

The film follows Shinji Kikyo, a college instructor who unexpectedly becomes the target of a mad assassin. As he navigates this chaotic scenario, he encounters a reporter named Keiko Tsurumaki and a mechanic named Bill Otomo, who assist him in uncovering a sinister plot. The plot reveals a "population control" association that doubles as an assassination squad, training individuals from a mental asylum to become killers.

With its mix of action and comedy, The Age of Assassins stands out in the late 1960s film landscape. The film showcases a blend of quirky characters and intense situations, making it an interesting watch for fans of both genres. The involvement of TOHO, a major production company, adds to its appeal among collectors interested in Japanese cinema from this era.
