Overview
Japan, a world of evil, where young girls are forced into prostitution and violent death is a fact of life. When Hank, trained in the art of survival by the elite American Commandos in Viet Nam, meets Janis, he never suspects her past. Until a shocking turn of events. Hong Kong cut and paste edit of the 1987 Korean Film "삿뽀로 밤사냥 " (Hunting Night) with new scenes.
