The intelligent yakuza, Noboru Ando; the gunrunner, Bunta Sugawara; the greedy yakuza, Akira Kobayashi; and Tetsuro Tanba: Toei’s BIG 4 together on the Violent Streets, a spectacularly violent film with action that could only be directed by the master Hideo Gosha! 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! —karagarga
