Manhunt(Movie, 1976)

Kimi yo Fundo no Kawa o Watare (君よ憤怒の河を渉れ, "You Must Cross the River of Wrath"), known as Manhunt, Hot Pursuit or Dangerous Chase in some translations, is a 1976 Japanese crime thriller film directed by Junya Satō. It is based on the novel of the same name by Juko Nishimura, and stars Ken Takakura in the leading role. Despite an initial lack of success in Japan, the film went on to become an overseas blockbuster, estimated to have sold at least 333 million tickets in China and the Soviet Union. This makes it the highest-grossing Japanese film of all time in box office ticket sales, as well as China's highest-grossing foreign film adjusted for inflation. It was remade by John Woo as Manhunt (2017). ()
