Demon Thistle [1146206] Released: 1927-01-01 Revenue: $0 Budget: $0 Profit: $0 Runtime: 14 mins Popularity: 0.1214 Vote Average: 0 Vote Count: 0 Overview: The vast majority of the commercial films made by Kinugasa in the 1920s have, like almost all Japanese films of the period, been lost. Even a fragmentary survival such as Oni azami is to be celebrated – the more so since the film marked the first of many appearances by popular star Chojiro Hayashi (1908-84) in Kinugasa films. The original story of Oni azami is credited to Fred Niblo, the American director of Blood and Sand (1922) and Ben-Hur (1925). It derives from The Red Lily (1924), a Ramón Novarro vehicle that had been a great success on its release in Japan. Cast [2] Akiko ChihayaOmitsu Kazuo HasegawaReizaburo Namiki Trailers
