Violent Streets (Japan, 1974)

The Western Japan Alliance has control of most of Japan, and only Tokyo is left for them to gain. Starting with the purchase of clubs in Ginza, a yakuza war between Western and Eastern Japan begins! In the midst of it all, a retired yakuza is caught in the middle of a growing conflict between two rival clans.

Violent Streets is a web of different plot strands that clashes with each other, ending up in messy fights and shootouts. The director, Hideo Gosha, is best known for his samurai films, so it's interesting to see his step into the world of yakuza movies.

A fantastic and violent gangster flick from the 70's.

Genre: Action/Crime/Drama
