Leather up and get ready for the ride of your lives in the 1975 high-octane biker movie Detonation: Violent Riders from Toei by cult director Teruo Ishii (Yakuza Law) and with a cast headed by Sonny Chiba!

Iwaki (Koichi Iwaki) is a motorbike mechanic with big dreams of racing professionally. Then temptation arrives in the shapely form of Mayumi (Junko Matsudaira), the wild and free lover of Mitsuda (Yusuke Natsu), the leader of the Red Rose Gang, a pack of speed freaks tearing up the town. Iwaki meanwhile has his sights set on the sweet and innocent Michiko (Tomoko Ai), but any potential romance is hampered by her overprotective brother Tsugami (Chiba) and Mitsuda’s bullish plans to make Michiko his own trophy. Does Iwaki take the straight and narrow option, or opt for a more dangerous road?

This furious one reunites star Chiba with Ishii who worked together in the Executioner series!
