Helldogs Deluxe Edition Blu-ray & DVD

A former police officer consumed by darkness meets an uncontrollable psychotic partner. The truth must never be revealed. Helldogs breaks convention with relentless crime entertainment.

Compatibility: 98%. Beware the mad dogs—this is a revolution in Japanese cinema.

A dark hero’s brutal story and explosive action unfold as he and his unhinged partner, whose compatibility is rated at 98%, climb through a criminal organisation on a secret mission.

Kanetaka has lived for revenge alone. His ferocity attracts the police’s attention, and he finds himself sent undercover into the largest yakuza organisation in the Kanto region. His mission is to steal the secret files held by its young leader, Toake.

He begins by making contact with Murooka, the man police research identifies as his most compatible partner. Steadily, and at astonishing speed, Kanetaka rises through the organisation. Yet an ending nobody could foresee awaits him. New missions follow one after another, and shocking truths are revealed in succession. Cruelly pure at heart, the story delivers a breathless torrent of events.

The deluxe edition includes an audio commentary with Masato Harada, Junichi Okada and Kentaro Sakaguchi, plus a trailer collection. Bonus footage includes making-of material, previously unreleased scenes and events: the Japan premiere, an all-male round-table discussion just before release, opening-day stage greetings and stage greetings celebrating the film’s reception.
