A fiIm by Takeshi Kitano, the director of Hana-Bi, VioIent Cop and Boiling Point. ln Japan, the sworn brotherhood of the Yakuza is described as being "thicker than the bIood of kindred brothers". With his life under threat, disgraced Yakuza hard man Yamamoto (Takeshi) escapes to Los AngeIes in search of his haIf-brother Ken, a smaII-time drug dealer. Unable to speak the Ianguage and confused by his surrounding, Yamamoto teams up with Ken and his friend and feIlow gang-member Denny.
Soon Yamamoto finds himself back in the old routine. His ruthless efficiency in terrorising and killing rivaI gang members shocks even the bIood hardened Americans, and before long 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". |
