THE EXECUTION GAME is a Japanese crime thriller, from 1979, in which a trained assassin is forced to carry out a killing against a veteran criminal.

violence
After attempting to strangle him, a man repeatedly breaks another's neck by jerking it back and forth, resulting in his head lolling to the side and blood coming out of his mouth. There are frequent bloody shootings and beatings. A man is shot in the hand and bleeds profusely from the wound. In other scenes, he is hanged from the ceiling by his wrists and repeatedly kicked.
sex
There is a prolonged scene of strong sex with frequent sexual moaning; however, there is no nudity. Sex workers offer their services to passing men.
additional issues
Infrequent use of strong language ('f**k') is accompanied by milder terms such as 'shit'. There is use of the discriminatory word 'retard'. A woman is implied to have taken her own life and is seen lying dead on the floor in the aftermath. Scenes include moderate threat from a violent gang.
