- Synopsis:
- The first film adaptation of the long-running manga series by Takao Saito, director Junya Sato cast Ken Takakura (who was the original inspiration for the character) as the mysterious and stoic killer-for-hire who always completes his assignment (usually with his signature scoped M16 rifle). Golgo 13 (Ken Takakura) is hired to eliminate Max Boa (Ahmad Ghadakchian), the head of a Middle Eastern crime syndicate specialising in kidnapping and forced prostitution. Filmed entirely in pre-revolution Iran, 'Golgo 13' was a huge success across Asia but was rarely seen in the West until now.
