<BODY bgcolor="#CCCC99"> <font size="2"><p>DVD Review <font size="4"><br>Bloody Territories & Stray Cat Rock: Sex Hunter</font> <br>by Derek Hill</font> <p>Yasuharu Hasebe got his start working with famed and notoriously iconoclastic director Seijun Suzuki, among others. Later, Hasebe got a chance to direct his first film for Nikkatsu in 1966, <i>Black Tight Killers</i>. In the following years, he made a series of action films for the studio, including the very successful youth-oriented <i>Stray Cat Rock</i> series, which mixed in a little sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll into the mix. Hasebe's fate and notoriety may have been sealed with his violent pink films, but his talent as a director of action films is arguably more representative of his cinematic legacy. </body>
