Among the highlights three outstanding ninkyo eiga, (Yakuza) films, Knockout Japanese crime classics, absolute gems, Highly Recommended .
Bakuchi-uchi: socho tobaku , Big Time Gambling Boss (1968) Kôsaku Yamashita
Meiji kyokyakuden - sandaime shumei , Blood Of Revenge (1965) Tai Katô
Otoko no shobu: byakko no tetsu , Man's Showdown: Tetsu, the White Tiger (1968)
Kosaku Yamashita was a highly creative director who flourished in the 60s with a prolific output of ninkyo eiga, (Yakuza) films. He had an exceptional talent for the creation of dramatic crime tales driven by conflicted & engaging characters caught in a tense social underworld atmosphere. Tetsu, the White Tiger is primarily about, honourable & noble yakuza caught in a conflict between rival clans, and obligations each has toward their yakuza boss & brothers. There is a rich layer of human emotion even some romance. Flat colours help to generate a dense tone with an emotive score , great script, terrific acting , the action packed knife wielding encounters are stunning, violent & bloody. I love the fearless courage, the nobility of a hardened Yakuza soul, one who thinks nothing of marching up single handed to confront the rival mob. The story is not quite up there with his incredible, Bakuchi-uchi: socho tobaku from the same year, however a master of the ninkyo eiga, .Kosaku Yamashita's Tetsu the White Tiger is wonderful entertainment.
Bakuchi-uchi: socho tobaku , Big Time Gambling Boss (1968) EXCELLENT !!!
