> T?ei Central Films was established in December 1977 as subsidiary of T?ei
in order to maintain the supply of films for their contract cinemas that
couldn?t afford the long-run strategy of T?ei?s higher budget productions.
It?s first production was Murakawa T?ru?s Mottomo kiken na y?gi (The most
dangerous game), which was followed by several more films starring Matsuda
Y?saku. In addition to their own productions, T?ei Central distributed films
of independent productions such as Oguri K?hei?s Doro no kawa (Muddy River,
1981), Wakamatsu K?ji?s Mizu no nai p?ru (A Pool without Water, 1982) or
Kawashima T?ru?s Ry?ji (1983) and commissioned 2 pink films every month,
which were exclusively produced by Mukai Hiroshi?s Shishi Production. Takita
Y?jir?, Kataoka Sh?ji, Watanabe Mototsugu and Sat? Hisayasu directed their
first films this way. T?ei Central Films was disbanded in October 1988.
