The Blade Licking Thieves venture into low budget, B movie territory with a review of South Korea's first giant monster movie: Yongary, Monster from the Deep (1967).

After an assignment goes awry, a hitman (Joe Shishido) and his partner (Jerry Fujio) are chased by rival gangs to a small seaside town where they meet a young woman (Chitose Kobayashi) who may be their only hope of escape. Cool and stylish, Takashi Nomura's A Colt is My Passport (1967) is a smoking cocktail of influences, half spaghetti western, half hard boiled noir, with textures and flavors both familiar and unique, qualities which have earned the film a reputation in recent years as an overlooked cult classic.
