Film features Ken Takakura as Takao Saitō's hitman

Eureka Video has announced that it will release the 1973 live-action film version of Golgo 13, the manga by Takao Saitō, on July 17.

Made in 1973, the film was directed by Junya Satō and features Ken Takakura as the title professional killer. The film is described on the Eureka Video website as follows:

"The first film adaptation of the long-running manga series by Takao Saitō, director Junya Satō cast Ken Takakura (who was the original inspiration for the character) as the mysterious and stoic killer-for-hire who always completes his assignment (usually with his signature scoped M16 rifle). Almost impossible to see outside of Japan for many years, Eureka Classics is proud to present Golgo 13 in its UK debut on home video in a definitive Blu-ray edition."

The film is described as a "1080p presentation on Blu-ray from a 2K restoration of the original film elements." Eureka Video is also streaming the trailer on YouTube.
