Fire The Hair Stylist! Promote The Stunt Guy! It’s The Full Trailer For CHAMELEON!

Yes, the hair is horrible. Now that that’s out of the way on we go ...
For a country that produces so many film - to say nothing of producing icons like Sonny Chiba - Japan produces surprisingly few action films. Some martial arts stuff, sure, and a good bit of the ol’ ultraviolence and high energy weirdness but straight up action films? I doubt I could come up with more than a handful without doing a good bit of research and that just seems strange.
And so I’m more than a little curious to see what comes of Chameleon, a high profile new effort starring Fujiwara Tatsuya of Battle Royale and Death Note fame. The thing’s got a classic 70’s action film feel to it and it comes by that naturally: it’s being directed froma script written thirty years ago for Matsuda Yusaku, who died before it could be filmed. Fujiwara stars as a small time crook who witnesses a kidnapping and ends up taking justice into his own hands when the kidnappers start picking off his own gang of cronies. The young star performed most - if not all - of his own stunts in the film and the just released theatrical trailer is looking good so here’s hoping it is enough of a success to trigger a new wave of Japanese action flicks ...
You’ll find the trailer in the Twitch Player below the break.

Wow it really has that classic vibe you spoke off. I hope there’s more to the story then “Oh no! He killed my love!”. But yea, it looks awesome.

Tatsuya looks a lot like the main character from Oldboy.

Damn, looks nice. And definetly old school, could pass for a film made in the late 90s (in a good way).
