Danger Pays - 1962 - 6/10
AKA - Yabai Koto Nara Zeni ni Naru // 危いことなら銭になる

Mobsters hijack the truck carrying special paper for banknotes.
Next, they plan to kidnap the nation’s finest counterfeiter, returning from Hong Kong.
They are not alone, however, as three small time hustlers anticipate and interfere.
Violent crime drama quickly pivots into spoof territory, satirizing heists, Yakuza, master planners.
The kidnapped engraver, an elderly man, sets his workplace under the glass floor of a strip parlor, for example.
Much of this resembles guerilla cinema, filmed inside clubs, on busy streets, or empty industrial sites.
Comedy is more silly than smart, most of the characters border on stupid.
Jô Shishido fans will still feel compelled to watch this rather obscure and hard to find film.
