Golgo 13 (film)

There are many cases of kidnapped women in Tehran, and Sheila, the wife of city police inspector Aman Jafari, is also abducted by the Boa Gang.

Aman picks up Sheila's coat that has fallen on the street, and suspects an Asian man (Golgo) who happened to be nearby to be Egbari's killer, and surrounds the hotel where he and Catherine are staying.

Boa, who ignores the investigation, orders the women to be secretly moved to another hideout in Isfahan, but the Tehran police also obtain the information.

The gang plants land mines on the main road in an attempt to eliminate Aman and his police force as they head towards Isfahan.

In order to lure Golgo out, Boa takes the women to the ruins of the temple in Persepolis and threatens to kill them one by one if he doesn't show up.

Having lost his car in the attack, Golgo walked across Dasht-e Kavir for days without food or water, making his way through the desert.

Lakeside at dawn, Boa, who was having breakfast on the terrace of his hideout and enjoying tea after dinner with his mistress, was shot and killed by a sniper bullet along with a small bird.

After witnessing Boa's death from the opposite shore, Golgo walks away toward the rising sun, finally ending in tracking down the man who is responsible for kidnapping innocent women and avenging both Catherine and Aman.

According to producer Koji Shundo (ja), he said, ``We had a hard time because the conditions such as ``If we shoot in Japan, we won't allow it to be made into a movie.''

``We obtained cooperation from the Iranian film company ``SOCIÉTÉ ANONYME CINÉMATOGRAPHIQUE IRAN,'' and raised the production costs.

Director Junya Sato said, ``A certain person who travels between Japan and Iran approached us with the idea that ``the Iranian government and military will fully cooperate,'' and Toei went along with it.''

The script written by Saito was published in the Big Comic Extra Edition Golgo 13 Omnibus Vol.

It is a valuable video material that shows Iran before the Iranian Revolution in 1979, such as the cityscape, the customs of eating pork and drinking, and women walking around the city without wearing a hijab as the country is beginning to change.

Takakura enjoyed filming because he loved playing "tough and cool" roles like Golgo 13, which was a foreigner's favorite.

Junya Sato said, "When we got there, we found out that the story that a certain person had told us about the full cooperation of the Iranian government and military was completely false.It was almost like a scam, and we had to start over from scratch.''

At that time, all Iranian movies were made in silent mode, so it seems like there was a good reason to learn synchronization, but the problem was that the actors had no training in how to speak their lines.

The press conference was unusually lackluster for a New Year's blockbuster, and the sports newspaper cameraman decided to use a cabinet (120mm x 165mm) photo handed out at the table, saying that it would not work as a picture.

Since Ken Takakura did not attend this press conference, various speculations arose due to his long-standing bad relationship with studio.
