Hd Italian Shogun Il Giustiziere 1080p Apr 2026

Italian Shogun (Il Giustiziere) in 1080p is like cleaning a pair of vintage, beer-stained sunglasses. The view is still a little crooked, but now you can appreciate every crack and smear.

If you’ve never heard of this 1987 obscurity, don’t worry—you’re in the majority. But for fans of the "Macaroni Combat" genre, director Edoardo Margheriti’s (under the pseudonym "E.G. Rowland") chaotic gem is a holy grail. And thanks to a recent 1080p restoration making the rounds, this bizarre mash-up of Shogun Assassin and Death Wish has never looked better—or more bonkers. Also known by its international title Il Giustiziere (The Executioner), this film is a perfect time capsule of late-80s Italian genre filmmaking. The plot is simple: A tough-as-nails half-Italian, half-Japanese cop (played by the stoic Vic Diaz) goes on a rampage after the Yakuza murders his family. Armed with a katana, a bad attitude, and a synth soundtrack that won’t quit, he dispenses justice in the streets of a nondescript European city pretending to be Tokyo.
