What happens
Manhunt (Japanese: 君よ憤怒の河を渉れ, Hepburn: Kimi yo Fundo no Kawa o Watare; lit. 'You Must Cross the River of Wrath') is a 1976 Japanese crime thriller film directed and co-written by Junya Satō. It is based on the novel of the same name by Juko Nishimura, and stars Ken Takakura in the leading role. While Manhunt received unfavorable critical reviews and was a box-office bomb in its native Japan—only earning ¥240 million in rentals against a reported ¥500 million budget—the film later became the first foreign film released in China following the Cultural Revolution, selling an estimated 300–800 million tickets there. It was also a commercial success in the Soviet Union, where it sold 33.7 million tickets. It is the highest-grossing Japanese film of all time based on box office ticket sales. A Chinese remake, directed by John Woo, was released in 2017. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
