The Most Famous Cheek Implants In Japan: Joe Shishido (Detective Bureau, A Colt is my Passport, Massacre Gun)

What does it take to become a face—a brand—in cinema? For cult icon Joe Shishido, the answer is one of film's wildest stories: he reportedly had cheek implants to make his face wider, more rugged, and utterly unforgettable. In this episode of Uncut, I'm joined by Ben (Cymreig Samurai) to unpack the myth and the movies behind Japan's most iconic tough guy.

We're breaking down the trilogy of films that made him a legend: the jazz-soaked, minimalist hitman masterpiece "A Colt Is My Passport"; the explosively titled and brilliantly chaotic "Detective Bureau 2-3: Go to Hell, B&st&rds!"; and the grim, revenge-fuelled yakuza epic "Massacre Gun." We go beyond the cheeks to explore his essential collaborations with directors like Seijun Suzuki, his unique place in the Nikkatsu studio system, and why his cool, cynical persona continues to influence filmmakers today. This is Uncut—the deep dive into the icons you can't forget.
