Surprisingly, Amazon.com DOES have this one.


3 Seconds Before Explosion DVD (NTSC Region 1)
Three Seconds to Explosion connects Nikkatsu’s “mood action” yakuza gangster films of the 50’s and 60’s to the studio’s subsequent kinky 70’s “pink films,” and is a primer in the tough, super-cool world of “no borders” exploitation cinema Nikkatsu style.

- From the Diabolik DVD catalogue.
As a followup to my post on the Solomon Kane movie, I have just finished the online purchase of an All Regions DVD version of the film from a distributor in New Jersey. Actually, the term "distributor" might be insulting, I gather that the happy people at Diabolik DVD don't think of themselves in those sort of mainstream corporate terms. But, credit where credit is due, if you're looking for something that you KNOW Amazon.com would never stock in a million years, these guys probably have it. 

But what in the world is a "mood action" yakuza film?

  1. Apparently there aren't too many sites offering explanations as your blog comes up on the first page of google when I typed "mood action yakuza" and "yakuza mood action" (without the quotation marks as that means something in search engine speak as we all know).
