The Film
I’m trying to remember the title of a movie. There’s a bomber, who puts a device on public transport. If it registers a speed over… ah I forget what the exact marker was, but anyway, that arms the bomb, then if it goes below that speed…Boom! So the cops have to figure out who this guy is, and how to disarm the bomb. I think it was called “The bus that couldn’t slow down”, but it might have been a bit snappier than that.
That aside, 1975’s The Bullet Train definitely bears some striking similarities to, you know, that bus movie. Ken Takahara plays Okita, he’s 40, has lost his company in a bankruptcy and is recently divorced. Recruiting two friends (Kei Yamamoto and Akira Oda) to help set it up, he develops a plan to hold a bullet train with approximately 1500 passengers to...

1974: a great year for many filmmakers. This was the year Francis Ford Coppola released both “The Godfather: Part II” and “The Conversation”. Mel Brooks hit a prolific streak too with “Young Frankenstein” and “Blazing Saddles”. Over in West Germany, Rainer Werner Fassbinder continued his hot streak by directing Four feature films, including his most beloved work, “Ali: Fear Eats the Soul”. However, it was perhaps Shinichi ‘Sonny' Chiba who had the most iconic and significant year out of that roster, with a career-defining bumper year that contained an impressive amount of diversity for an actor nominally known as a martial arts star. Surrounding himself with the posse from his expert team ‘Japan Action Club' and with the backing of the Toei Company, Ltd., Chiba completed a full trilogy, a two-part crime caper saga, a spin-off to the aforementioned trilogy And a powerful anti-war drama all in one year.

However, there are plenty of amazing Asian movies that cater for horse lovers everywhere.
Here we take a look at just some of them, and discover the ways in which Asian directors, producers, and actors go about incorporating long-nosed beasts into their movies.
Horses have long been mainstays of Asian cinema because they have been ever present in popular culture since the beginning of time Grand Prix – Yun-ho Yang
The most well-known horse racing movies tend to focus on horses and jockeys from places like the US and UK, where big races like the Grand National and Gold Cup take place.
But that is not to say that horse racing movies do not pop up in other far-flung places.

Director: Jun'ya Satô. Review: Adam Wing. Well I guess it’s that time of the month again, a chance to step back in time and learn a little something. Jun'ya Satô’s history lesson kicks off on April 6th 2005, where Makiko Uchida is looking for a boat to take her to the site of Yamato’s final resting place. Yamato was the largest, heaviest and most powerful-armed battleship ever constructed, considered by some to be untouchable. It sank on April 7th 1945. After being refused assistance, she meets with captain Katsumi Kamio of the fishing vessel Asukamaru. He too is uninterested until he learns that she is the stepdaughter of Officer Nagoya Uchida. Katsumi Kamio was under the impression that Uchida had died when the Yamato was sunk by American aircraft, preventing it from fulfilling a suicide mission against the American fleet battling to capture Okinawa. Kamio and Uchida were part...
