Well well, the days of simple Sonny Chiba action apparently weren't enough anymore in the mid-70s. A werewolf reporter he is here and it all has something to do with a former singer who takes revenge as a tiger. We pull Sonny's guts out halfway through. Lots of blood and nudity, with a solid cult reputation.

Wolfguy: Enraged Lycanthrope. It starts with a good title, and it turns out to be an amusing but also strange film. The atmosphere often feels like a hard-boiled detective that came straight out of a film noir or a Raymond Chandler book. With a hard, stoic main character (although he is a journalist instead of a detective) played by Sonny Chiba, a femme fatale and of course a group of mafia scum. And then a kind of exploitation variant of that. But besides that we also see quite a bit of nudity, quite a bit of blood, werewolfing (but honestly not that much), a supernatural tiger that rips people open, medical experiments, brackish special effects and funky futuristic 70s psychedelics as a soundtrack. I can't say that I could follow everything exactly, but you don't have to be bored, and I wasn't.
