Osaka Yakuza War: The Price of a Misfire

1h 26m

In the winter of Showa 62 (1987), the muddy conflict between Japan's largest organized crime syndicate, the Kobe Yamagagumi, and the Seiwakai—commonly referred to as the "Yamasei War"—seemingly came to an end. Tadokura (played by Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi), a member of the Sakado-gumi under the Yamagagumi, spent his days consumed by relentless work, harboring unresolved emotions. Amidst this, Shimamura, the Sakado-gumi's second-in-command, is killed in a hitman's ambush. Little did they know that this brutal act would spark a bloody cycle of retaliation that would shake not only the Yamagagumi but also the entire Kansai yakuza world to its core. A complete cinematic depiction of this intense gangland war!
