Female Yakuza Tale

YAKUZA NIGHT THURSDAY

Every third Thursday of every month of this year,
I'll be watching a yakuza flick.
Love the yakuza genre but haven't really seen a whole lot.
There's a lot of classics out there.
This will help me explore these Japanese movies.
I'll be watching a few from directors,
Kinji Fukasaku, and Takashi Miike, as well other
yakuza flicks from the 60's and to the present.


Female Yakuza Tale
Now this was surprisingly bad ass.
I thought this was going to be cheesy and sleazy all the way,
but no, this has some cool sequences.
First of all, the music gets props.
70's japanese music rocks.
Second, the story is great.
Most of the yakuzas here are not likeable because
of what they do. Luckily we have the main female character
slicing and dicing these people.

Short and simple, this is a must buy for sure.
Adding it to the list right now.

There's no trailer out there.
