Synopsis

Review This is set in Chicago and features Bean, a contract
driver who hires himself and his special car, the 'Road
Buster' out to robbers. The all-action plot involves the
kidnapping of a rich man's daughter. The action
sequences are well constructed and feature an armed
robery and getaway, shootouts, high speed car chases
with high-powered cars, and the efforts of an equally car-
obsessed Police Inspector Percy to trap Bean. Apart
from Bean, the main characters are his female partner,
Rally, the kidnapped girl Chelsea and her father George
Grimwood, kidnapper Semmerling and her young
accomplice Carrie. The featuring of active female
characters is typically Japanese. There's not much to the
film apart from the action, touches of comedy and a
couple of adult sex scenes, but of its kind it's well done
and enjoyable. Only the sexual scene with the childish Carrie
will provoke feelings of disquiet in many Western viewers. Otherwise, a
good example of all-action adult anime, with the inevita-
ble cert 18.
