Television: Wild 7.


(link)
Wiki:

Wild 7 is a live action series based on a manga released in 1969 by creator Mikiya Mochizuki. There have also been an OVA (original one off animated video) and a spin-off anime.


In the wake of rising criminality and terrorist activities in Japan against Japanese nationals, the Japanese National Police Agency has no choice but to authorize the mobilization of a special Counter-terrorist Motorcycle unit consisting of reformed convicts, ranging from simple thugs, individuals forced into prison for simple petty trouble and former Yakuza henchmen and leaders to combat armed criminals and terrorists.

Despite being popular with TV viewers, it was forced to end the show after 25 episodes due to concerns of violence being shown."
