This sounds like a historically significant, intriguing film that belongs on my "must see" list. My familiarity with Asian contemporary (even 20th century) action films dates to the 1990s only. It sounds like Fukasaku's film set the stage for later pics like those of John Woo and Tsui Hark. I also wonder if it didn't inspire the U.S. film THE YAKUZA with Robert Mitchum (in subject matter, not style).Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-10291175644452330362010-11-23T18:06:49.802-05:002010-11-23T18:06:49.802-05:00Sark, great review.

Thanks for reviewing this type of film.Kimberly J.M.
