Film fans have been treated to many yakuza films in the last few years. We have witnessed such physical media releases as Yakuza Wives, Big Time Gambling Boss, Jakoman and Tetsu and A Certain Killer / A Killer’s Key. Well, it is time for another yakuza film to take the physical media centre stage… 1970s Play It Cool.

Yasuzō Masumura, the director behind such Japanese classics as Blind Beast and Irezumi, both of which have already received Blu-ray releases. Now his film Play It Cool, also known as Electric Jellyfish, or as it was originally titled Denki Kurage, is receiving the deluxe treatment from Arrow Video.

Yumi (Mari Atsumi) is a pretty fashion student who shares a cramped home with her mother Tomi and good-for-nothing stepfather Ryoichi.
