You may recognize some of the faces here, but this is not Seibu Keisatsu. Rather, it’s Daitokai (“The Big City”), a Japanese television series that preceded the car chase-filled antics of Tokyo’s western district.
Tetsuya Watari (Sgt. Daimon in Seibu) plays Raisuke Kuroiwa, a different Nissan-driving, sawed-off shotgun-toting, aviator-wearing badass. Although the big city has no shortage of Cedric sedans screeching around narrow streets, knocking over fruit stands and empty baby prams, we learn a very valuable lesson here: do not to get taken hostage by armed criminals in Japan. The cops tend to shoot first and check if you’re okay second. Watch the video below the fold.

5:29 – Toyota Century in background?
If you ask me, Tetsuya has a morbid fascination with shooting people in the face! He should get that checked!
6:17 skline japan? 6:40 Honda N360?
@ tom: Sure looks like one to me!
Wow! Shotguns are way more accurate and certainly less messy in Japan than they are in the U.S. Wonder how they do that?
@coupeZ600
Might be a different round. Shotgun shells do come in other loads.
bert – so true. And we didn’t even talk about Guerilla Group 8!

yep, the man has a problem!
I am surprised no one mentioned the two Honda Super Cubs parked next to the N360 at the end.
That KE26 Wagon at 6:48 looks like it has been a bit abused. Pretty cool nonetheless.
I like the Datsun B210 at 2:00 and the Mark II at 2:50
Nice 610 and Celica liftback parked at 6:23 🙂
