Nobody talks about the 1987 bike racing movie where four high schoolers risk everything on illegal midnight courses. The stakes are real: you're not watching kids practice for a tournament, you're watching them commit crimes for the rush. It's the kind of film that treats street racing like a blood sport, where the thrill isn't about winning, it's about proving you're faster than death itself. The animation captures speed as pure violence, every corner a choice between glory and pavement. This is what happens when a sports movie stops pretending danger is metaphorical.
Four high school bike racers live for the rush of illegal street racing, speeding along public roads at night. Among them is Gun Koma, an ordinary student with a deep passion for motorcycles and a hunger for speed. A classmate offers him a spot in a four-hour race that could open the door to the big leagues, and Gun jumps at the chance. There is one condition: he must share the ride with Hideyoshi Hijiri, his longtime rival from the streets. To win on a real circuit, Gun has to put their feud aside. The film is an action sports drama adapted from Shigeno Shuuichi's award-winning shounen manga.
