No Borders, No Limits is the definitive English-language guide to Japan's iconic Nikkatsu Action films — an explosive blend of Hollywood cool and Tokyo edge.
From renegade gangsters and leather-clad vixens to existential hitmen and psychedelic bikers — No Borders, No Limits: Nikkatsu Action Cinema is the first English-language book to explore the wildly stylish world of Japanese action films from the 1950s to 1970s. Authored by Mark Schilling, a leading expert on Japanese cinema, the book documents the birth and evolution of Nikkatsu Action, the genre that redefined cool in post-war Japan. Packed with rare film stills, posters, director profiles, and exclusive interviews with icons like Toshio Masuda and Joe Shishido, this richly illustrated volume is essential for cinephiles, Tarantino fans, and anyone fascinated by Japan's underground film legacy.
Mark Schilling is a journalist, film critic, and expert on Japanese cinema, based in Tokyo since the 1980s. He has written for The Japan Times, Variety, Newsweek Japan, and Cinemaya. Schilling curated the first Western retrospective on Nikkatsu Action films at the Udine Far East Film Festival and is the author of several acclaimed books including The Encyclopedia of Japanese Pop Culture and The Yakuza Movie Book.
