"Burst City"
1982
Directed by Sogo Ishii

Set in a violent, futuristic Tokyo, Sogo Ishii's anarchic thriller tells of a mob of punks who converge to protest the erection of a nuclear power plant on their home turf. When riot police and yakuza toughs arrive to crack down on the activists, they're met by a mysterious band of metal-clad bikers who are all too ready to rumble. This charged, hard-rocking cyberpunk thriller is a career-topper for the cult veteran Ishii. Japanese with English subtitles.  116 minutes.
