Eureka Entertainment is set to release GOLGO 13, the 1973 action classic directed by Junya Sat? (The Bullet Train) starring Ken Takakura as Takao Saito’s deadly assassin. Presented as part of the Eureka Classics range in its UK debut on Blu-Ray, from a stunning 2K restoration. Available from 17th July 2023, the first print run of 2000 copies will feature a Limited-Edition O-card Slipcase and Collector’s Booklet.
The first film adaptation of the long-running manga series by Takao Saito, director Junya Sat? 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).
