Bakuto gaijin butai

We really know that in this yakuza situation what will happen and it will be with lots of shouting with guns and knives and much blood and many dead. The well known, Koji Tsuruta, being out of prison after ten years and is wanting to get together some of his old pals. Still with this we have had it before but then it is rather splendid that they had been together in Yokohama and decides to go to Okinawa. It is rather surprising because here at the time the US was in control there only a few months after the film was released and they gave it back to the Japanese. There are much location shots really there and it looks great and we see foreigners and resistance groups and some many dark alleys and seedy bars. In Okinawa we get to see with great Tomisaburo Wakajama as the downtown boss and we know that there will be some spectacular action. I thought it was rather good with Koji and his pals walking together in the street and I wondered if Tarantino had seen this because it reminded me of Reservoir Dogs (1992).
