Rikidozan - Special Edition 2-Disc Set RC3
Director Song Hae-Sung (Failan) helms the gripping bio-pic Rikidozan: A Hero Extraordinary starring Sul Kyung Ku and Nakatani Miki! Considered to be the "Father of Puresu" and a legend in Japan, Rikidozan (Silmido's Sul Kyung Ku, who gained weight and learned Japanese to play the role) would have a major impact on the world of professional wrestling, turning it into the number one sporting attraction in Japan. But even with all his success, Rikidozan's rise to the top wouldn't be easy! In the aftermath of World War II, the Japanese were looking for heroes to cheer for, and Rikidozan fulfilled that need, becoming a beloved national icon and the idol of millions. But little did the Japanese public know that he was actually an ethnic Korean. Having already experienced anti-Korean prejudice as a youth, Rikidozan struggled to keep his true origins hidden from an adoring Japanese fanbase. While dealing with this personal turmoil, he would go on to amass a vast empire of business holdings. But what happens when those interests attract the attention of the Yakuza? Find out in this no-holds-barred look at a national hero.
