The story follows Goro Hanada in his life as a contract killer. He falls in love with a woman named Misako, who recruits him for a seemingly impossible mission. When the mission fails, he becomes hunted by the phantom Number One Killer, whose methods threaten his sanity as much as his life.
The controversy surrounding Branded to Kill is almost as interesting as the movie itself. Director Seijun Suzuki was hired to rewrite the original script, and threw in all sorts of crazy ideas just before shooting the scenes. After it's release, the film company fired Suzuki for making "movies that make no sense and money". Since then, Branded to Kill has become a cult classic and has grown a strong following. It's a cool story about ice cold assassins and gangsters, with visuals that got a man fired from his job. Literally.
