Movie night: Hairpin Circus (1972)

[Eccentric shaft]

Never mind Tokyo Drift. This is the proper Old Skool Japanese street racing movie. The villains drive Toyota 2000GT, Celica, and an Alfa GTV Scalino. The hero (or ultimately baddie) ex racing driver and driving instructor(!) drives a shiny new, white Rx3. Some nice engine sounds. Unfortunately they are massacred by a rather annoying free-jazz soundtrack. But footage is good. Enjoy!

And some stills to go:
