REVOLUTION+1 is a 2022 Japanese semi-biographical psychological drama film based on the 2022 assassination of former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe. The film stars Soran Tamoto as Tatsuya Kawakami (a fictionalized version of Abe's real killer, Tetsuya Yamagami), a former Japanese navy officer serving life imprisonment for murdering former prime minister Abe. The film centers around his reflections on his past and his motivations for assassinating the former prime minister. The film was directed by former domestic terrorist and filmmaker Masao Adachi and started being filmed at the end of August 2022, almost two months after Abe was fatally wounded with a homemade gun at a political event. A special unfinished cut of the film was released to select Japanese theaters on September 27, the day of Abe's state funeral. Multiple theaters cancelled their screenings of the unfinished cut, citing multiple reasons for doing so, such as claiming that the film justified Yamagami's actions. The film's director has refuted these accusations, claiming that the film does not justify his actions at all and is intended to be an examination of his past and mental state.


The following weapons were used in the film Revolution+1:


Zip Gun

A Zip Gun is used by Tatsuya Kawakami (Soran Tamoto) to fatally wound former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe. The prop firearm used in the movie is modeled after the zip gun used by Tetsuya Yamagami in the actual assassination.
