Kino Lorber releases Kamikaze<\/em><\/strong> onto Blu-ray presented in the original 1.85 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer. Detail on this is sharp throughout and colors well balanced with brightness in some scenes while black levels in others are stark without appearing crushed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
