Since 2002 Vicpine has been in the business of tracking down rare and often forgotten films. Our films are imported from countries all round the world. We check the quality meets our standards taking into account the age and source of the film (many rare films have never seen any digital enhancing).

We have hundreds of contacts and suppliers. If you don't want to spend hours trawling the internet looking for a rare movie then drop us a line and we will be glad to help. We charge a small finders fee on top of the cost to import the film. We can usually keep the total cost to under £20 but of course there will be exceptions when you may have to pay more.

This is one of those movies where his bizarro and repetitive plots, his pan-and-zoom-happy cinematography, and his obtrusive jazz score all manage to gel for a pretty dumb but thoroughly enjoyable movie. It helps, of course, that this was one of only four films he made with the incredible Soledad Miranda before her untimely death in the early 1970's. Click image for more

The film's story centers on Hanada, a.k.a. "No. 3 Killer," the third-best hit man in Japanese organized crime. Near the top of his game, his fortunes change when he encounters Misako, a mysterious, death-obsessed woman who brings him a particularly difficult mission. In a famous moment indicative of the film's eccentric sensibility, a butterfly lands on his gun's sight at the exact moment he pulls the trigger, causing him to miss the shot.Click image for more
