About the Book

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.
