Synopsis:

This rarely seen gem from the master Suzuki casts teenage heart-throb Koji Wada as young misfit who suddenly finds himself the unwitting pawn in an escalating family feud that ultimately leads to tragedy. This is the DVD premiere of Suzuki's first colour feature. Lean, mean and stylish as always, this tale of youth-gone-wild is both vibrant and touching. Suzuki contrasts tranquil glimpses of traditional regional life with the emergence of the new rock 'n' roll youth culture and the greed and seething cynicism of encroaching Westernisation. Also released under the title Go To Hell, Hoodlums!, this is a melodrama as colourful, shocking and exhilarating as one would come to expect from Japan's master filmmaker.

From legendary director Seijun Suzuki (TOKYO DRIFTER, BRANDED TO KILL) comes this colourful, yet shocking potboiler; the director's first colour feature. THE FIGTING DELINQUENTS melds traditional regional life with what was then emerging youth culture that had been filtering in from the West.
