The Alphabet Meme: An A-Z of Nikkatsu Sleaze and Action

I've been tagged by my friend and neighbor Glenn Kenny to participate in the alphabet meme, in which bloggers are asked to create (duh) an A-Z list of their favorite films, or something. To be honest, the thought of coming up with twenty-six titles that will no doubt pop up on other peoples lists isn't all that appealing, nor do I find it terribly interesting for you, my dear readers.

So, for a bit of fun (as well as a reprieve from working on part two of my Synecdoche, New York review) I thought I'd create an A-Z of films produced by The Nikkatsu Corporation, Japan's oldest movie studio. However, I've limited the selection to their classic action films of the 50s and 60s and their roman porno titles from the 70s and 80s. For added fun, I've included the poorly translated descriptions of the films as they appear in Nikkatsu's sales catalog for distributors.

• Again Like a Beast (1981) - Beasts in their birth suits who do not know how to stop. 
• Branded to Kill (1967) - One mistake leads to death. Hard action.
