Yakuza Papers 2 Used DVD
Yakuza Papers 2 Description: "Repeatedly beat to a pulp by gamblers, cops, and gangsters, lone wolf Shoji Yamanaka (Kinya Kitaoji – who went on to star as Rhett butler in the Tokyo stage version of Gone with the Wind), finally finds a home as a Muraoka family hit man and falls in love with boss Muraoka's niece. Meanwhile, the ambitions of mad dog Katsutoshi Otomo (Bunta Sugawara), into a new round of bloodshed, culminating with the tragic demise of the young Yamanka. "In the wake of the Bomb, ex-soldier Shoro Hirono (Bunta Sugawara) joins a Hiroshimo Yakuza gang, the Japanese Equivalent of the Mafia – and then this shooting, slashings, betrayals, and scheming begin. Premiering a year after The Godfather, The Yakuza Papers also broke box office records and spawned sequels, but, in contrast, took a ruthlessly de-romanticized view of the underworld. Based on an actual gang boss' memoirs and plunging the audience into a gritty, brutal, violent newsreel of a three-decade struggle for power of Shakespearean completely, The Yakuza Papers is a nihilistic epic unlike any other."
