I don't think you'll get a better answer than this, it was pitched to me as the Japanese Godfather when I originally watched it but it's soooo much more. Bonus points for adding New Battles Without Honor and Humanity.

Good movie but I really hate how they try to humanize the yakuza. Theyre fucking monsters who believe theyre modern day robin hoods.
With that being said I would recomend Minbo which is free on youtube. This movie made the yakuza seethe so much they made the director kill himself.
Isaac Hall
There's nothing wrong with humanising them, as long as you don't try to whitewash them. I personally draw the line at the 60s movies where they bend over backwards in making the protagonist and his underdog yakuza clan always be as just and honourable, true spirit of Nippon as possible while making the bad guys always be backstabbing assholes who honor nothing.
Luis Jenkins
No u. It's a dumb movie where old farts play children pranks and the acting is bad.
Carson Rodriguez
So I take it you're not a fan of Outlaw Gangster VIP series?
Jayden Smith
>acting is bad

Hard Boiled>The Raid 2>everything else
Grayson Carter
I tend to hold kitsch value to those kinds of movies, where the real worth is in the charisma of the lead. Same with Ken Takakura flicks.

Aiden Ross

Nicholas Williams

Juan Nguyen
After reading that shit about yakuza members raping and torturing that poor girl for months until she died then there is everything wrong trying to humanise them
Jayden Stewart
I don't give a fuck which direction their eyes slant, a gooks a gook. Police Story is excellent too

The Japanese stole everything from the Chinese so it's basically the same thing and only a dumbass weeb would disagree with this statement so if you disagree you're a fucking dumbass weeb with a tickle in their anus.

Can Ichi The Killer pass as a crime film? I mean it has some yakuza motherfuckers in it.
