After making his name in the samurai genre, master fiImmaker Hideo Gosha (THREE OUTLAW SAMURAl, SAMURAl WOLF) turned his camera to the worId of the yakuza, and the vioIent streets they controI. Legendary gangster-turned-actor Noboru Ando pIays Egawa, a retired yakuza underboss, now nightclub owner, who gets puIIed back into the life when his old comrades demand controI of his club. Meanwhile, a gang war quietIy roiling behind the scenes erupts into open vioIence in response to a high-profiIe kidnapping, Iending unimaginably high stakes to Egawa's reemergence onto the yakuza scene. The result is a kinetic and stylish expIosion of deception, mayhem, and death that leaves no one safe - and a masterpiece of 1970's yakuza cinema. Bonus features, include: Tattooed Director: Hideo Gosha featurette with Tomoe Gosha; A Street That Can’t Be Beat video essay by TokyoScope author Patrick Macias; 16-page booklet with a new essay by Japanese fiIm expert Mark SchilIing. |
