[Machine Translation] The best Japanese car action film, considered a miraculous masterpiece, is finally being released for the first time on software after 37 years! Based on the original story by Hiroyuki Itsuki and directed by Kiyoshi Nishimura, the genius of Toho New Action, TOYOTA 2000GT vs. Mazda Savanna RX-3! The Midnight Highway, where Japan's most famous cars race! In an era when there was no such thing as computer graphics, the images of the TOYOTA 2000GT racing at breakneck speeds along the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway and through Yokohama are all real. There were no traffic restrictions at all, and the images are so extraordinary that they could never be captured in the modern age. This is a brilliant film with powerful and realistic car action intertwined with brilliant cine-jazz, featuring Kiyoshi Misaki in the lead role as well as other active racers of the time. Includes a reprint of the original theatrical release flyer and the original 24-page booklet with detailed commentary. Picture label specification.
