The Man with a Shotgun
1961 · Movie · 84 min. · Japan
Called a mukokuseki (a no nationality Western, it's assembled like an American Western, but features a trucker hero instead of a cowboy. And, akin to Roy Rogers and Gene Autry, he's a singing hero. One day, while Hideaki is plucking away at the guitar, his girlfriend is being raped and killed. Mr. White Hat borrows a garage truck and tracks down the three bad guys for revenge. Although highly criticized upon its release, today the film has a cult following.
