The Warped Ones

Fresh out of jail and arising after a crime spree, Akira (Tamio Kawachi) doesn’t bother with his hooker girlfriend Fumiko (Noriko Matsumoto) and their new pal Masaru (Eiji Go), instead raiding his neighborhood for breakfast, in director Koreyoshi Kurahara’s “Sun Tribe” drama The Warped Ones, 1960.

In one reckless shot, Akira, Masaru and Fumiko (Tamio Kamachi, Eiji Go, Noriko Matsumoto) raid a Tokyo beach and run into Kashiwaji and Yuki (Hiroyuki Nagato, Yuko Chishiro), who recently got them sent to jail, revenge proceeding, in Koreyoshi Kurahara's The Warped Ones, 1960.

Koreyoshi Kurahara’s frantic and efficient opening, jazz score by Toshiro Mayuzumi, introduces Akira and Fumiko (Tamio Kawachi, Noriko Matsumoto), busted in a bar by journalist Kashiwagi and his date (Hiroyuki Nagato, Yuko Chishiro), then in and out of jail, in The Warped Ones, 1960.
