On The Stacks this week, part one continues our coverage of the Yakuza Papers / Battles Without Honor and Humanity collection from Arrow with Kinji Fukasaku's 1973 film Proxy War (running to 1:10:09). In part two (1:10:10-2:22:34), we have a roundup of a broad swath of additional features - the Canadian International Pictures collection Animation Night in Canada Vol. 1, the deranged 1966 Sadao Funatoko tokusatsu film Watari the Ninja Boy, Tony Scott's hyper-aesthetic 1987 buddy-cop sequel Beverly Hills Cop II, Nick Millard's notorious 1975 regional lo-fi proto-slasher Criminally Insane, and Bennett Thiessen's 1992 shot-in-a-day Surf Reality Movie of the Month, Manic a Go-Go. As usual, part three consists of discussion of everything else we've watched on physical media since last time and our picks for next week's episode.
