Japan Organized Crime Boss

The quiet retirement that Yokohama yakuza leader Tsukamoto (Kôji Tsuruta) was hoping for following an eight-year stretch wasn’t to be, as he emerged to find factions from Tokyo and Osaka fighting over the turf. Urged to reclaim the reins, he quickly discovers how little a new generation of thugs cared about the established code. Kinji Fukasaku’s standard-setting gangster opus also stars Bunta Sugawara, Tomisaburo Wakayama, Noboru Ando. 97 min.
