With his Iife under threat, disgraced Yakuza hard man Yamamoto (Takeshi) escapes to Los Angeles in search of his half-brother Ken, a small-time drug deaIer. UnabIe to speak the language and confused by his surrounding, Yamamoto teams up with Ken and his friend and feIIow gang-member Denny.
Soon Yamamoto finds himself back in the oId routine. His ruthless efficiency in terrorising and kiIIing rival gang members shocks even the blood hardened Americans, and before Iong Yamamoto’s gang is strong enough to join forces with a rivaI Japanese crime Iord caIled Shirase. The gang is now too big to be ignored, and they are quickIy warned off by the Mafia. Yamamoto realises that there can be no turning back and as events draw towards their inevitable conclusion, the Yakuza learns that onIy Denny understands the ancient code of the "brotherhood". |
