	Nikkatsu Roman Porn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Nikkatsu Corporation is a Japanese entertainment company well known for its film and television productions.
		Pink eiga were predominantly shot on location with a small, and often semi-professional, staff whereas Nikkatsu had a functioning studio system and highly skilled professionals at its disposal.
		Subgenres produced by Nikkatsu studios include the early (starting in 1971) Roman Porno pink films with well known directors, and an ultra-violent rape-themed subgenre also from the 1970s called Violent Pink.

	Koroshi no rakuin (1967) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Suzuki is an auteur of the highest magnitude, nobody has ever used a widescreen, fl and white, "Nikkatsu Scope" frame quite like him.
		The dense and beautifully chaotic images are overwhelming on your first viewing, it's the sort of movie that shows you something new every time you watch it.
		There's a certain parallel in that with this picture Suzuki derailed his own career as a "salary man" making Nikkatsu yakuza flicks, many of Hanado's thoughts and impulses must have been the director's own.

	Scifilm -- Reviews, MONSTER FROM A PREHISTORIC PLANET (1967)
		In the early 70s, Nikkatsu's box office slumped dramatically due to the influx of Western films and the rise of low budget soft-core "pink eiga" films.
		In response, Nikkatsu rolled out their own train of sexually charged but more artistic "Roman Porno" movies which soon came to dominate the Japanese sexploitation market.
		Yes, Gappa not only destroyed Tokyo, it also drove Nikkatsu into the porno industry, a point which is pretty funny when you take into account that baby Gappa is kidnapped by the evil publisher of "Playmate" magazine.

	Gappa the Triphibian Monsters
		The sole foray into the giant-monster arena from Nikkatsu Studios (producers of the classic The Burmese Harp) presents a cutesy clone of Toho's Rodan with a plot lifted from British city-stomper Gorgo.
		Nikkatsu's lack of experience with the genre shows in the goofy-looking monster suits, shoddy effects and exaggerated cuteness.
		It's also evident from the film's tongue-in-cheek approach that the producers had no illusions about the inherent silliness of this project — an attitude somewhat less prevalent in Toho's monster series.

	Daikyoju Gappa [1967] @ EOFFTV (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Nikkatsu didn't make any more kaiju eiga and one can only be thankful for that.
		The only kaiju eiga from Nikkatsu Studios, this is a charming family movie with a plot similar to Gorgo [although both screenwriters deny ever having seen that film].
		Though the miniature vehicles are a mix of toys and stock footage, the buildings are excellent creations, soundly trashed by the monsters in sensibly overcranked footage which really gives an impression of their size.

		Just as Suzuki Seijun's career might be thought to have ended (it's been eight years since his last film), the grandest of Japanese masters returns for yet another variation on the hitman thrillers that brought him a lasting reputation.
		Pistol Opera is an elegant rewrite of Branded to Kill (1967), the last of the more than forty films that Suzuki made for the Nikkatsu Corporation between 1956 and 1967.
		From 1956 to 1967 he made dozens of B-movie yakuza thrillers with the Nikkatsu Corporation, until he was fired for his mix of violence and sex in Branded to Kill (1967).

	Angel Guts Collection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		By the early 1970’s Japan’s oldest studio the Nikkatsu Corporation had fallen on hard times and the powers that be decided that it was a time for the company to go into a new direction.
		The Nikkatsu Corporation would shift all of its attention to a new genre appropriately named Roman Porno and over the next eighteen years (1971-1988) the Nikkatsu Corporation would produced approximately 850 of these films.
		Red Vertigo has the most graphic sex scenes out of all the films in the Angel guts series and there are several instances of fogging to cover up the most naughty parts (genitals and pubic hair was censored in Japanese films until the late 1990’s).

	Underworld Beauty (Ankokugai no Bijo) (1958): Michitaro Misuzhima, Mari Shiaraki, Hideaki Nitani, Shinsuke Ashida - ...
		Most of the cookie-cutter flicks made by studios like Toei, Shochiku, and Nikkatsu were pastiches of the U.S. gangster movie, bowdlerized to include traditional notions of yakuza honor and chivalry.
		And so, they posed a challenge for director Seijun Suzuki, who once declared, "I make movies about things I do not understand, yet wish to." Thanks to Nikkatsu's insatiable hunger for market share, Suzuki made over 50 films for the studio from 1957 to 1971.
		He carved a niche in its yakuza film stable, where he toyed with the genre's conventions and created stunning visual tableaus.

	Tokyo Drifter, Branded to Kill
		And, of course, the hardcore anime fans probably log more hours with Japanese cinema than anyone else on this side of the Pacific.
		But if you ever wondered what else has been going on in Japan for all these years, it's worth taking a look at B-movie director Suzuki Seijun, who cranked out no fewer than 42 flicks in just 12 years at Japan's Nikkatsu Corporation.
		Perhaps sensing as much, Nikkatsu promptly fired Suzuki, who was still under contract, for shooting films that they said made no sense and no money.
