Something about a fresh from prison Yakuza dude getting down business in sandals really adds to the hardboiled-ness

Nothing like the exposition-filled first 20mins of a Yakuza film to extinguish all hope of something positive ever happening

WTF I get that supplies are limited but using any kind of alcohol directly on a wound can cause tissue damage

Maybe there are some nonviolent ways to solve these yakuza foibles??

Just gonna assume “Sympathy for the Underdog” didn’t take off a pool party classic

Thanks @rsmon77 for that brutal yakuza film that somehow was released BEFORE “Battles Without Honor or Humanity”… See y’all later, #CultShelf friends, Have a safe & wonderful rest of your week💕

PS- TUBI roulette gave me more 1970s Yakuza
