Seibu keisatsu (1979-1984)

[Takuma]

Cop-action-stunt show Seibu keisatsu (西部警察) (1979-1984) is coming to R2J. The series starred Tetsuya Watari, Yujiro Ishihara and Hiroshi Tachi, and was helmed by directors such as Yasuharu Hasebe, Tooru Murakawa and Yukihiro Sawada.

Plot

The series portrays the Western Police Headquarters Criminal Investigation Division's Detective Chief Daimon, played by Tetsuya Watari (渡哲也 Watari Tetsuya?) and his subordinates, dubbed the Daimon Force (大門軍団 Daimon Gundan?), and their superior, Section Chief Kogure, played by Ishihara Yūjirō (石原 裕次郎 Yūjirō Ishihara?), as they fight against heinous criminals.

With its flashy, over-the-top explosion scenes, car stunts, this series gained a reputation as a macho drama. It is representative of the police & detective dramas of the 1980's.
