Okinawa Yakuza War - 1976 - 6/10
AKA - Okinawa Yakuza Sensô // 沖縄やくざ戦争

Since the end of WWII, local gangs ruled Okinawa.
In 1972, the island reverted back to Japanese control; with that came the larger yakuza groups.
The Okinawa clans form alliances while the larger outfits wait for the inevitable falling outs.
Frantic crime drama loaded with shootings and beatings and extreme cruelty.
Shin’ichi (Sonny) Chiba dominates as the volatile Kunigami, boiling resentment and fury.
Blistering pace, way too many characters – necessary for the body count.
Ugly, misogynist, sadistic. For fans of Japanese gangster flicks.
