Why aren't there any good movies about the Japanese Yakuza?
>>
>>223595024
Dunno. I was looking for a japanese gambling movie heavily featuring mahjong and there don't appear to be any either.
>>
>>223595076
Mahjong is more likely in HK movies. >>223595024
Lots of old stuff, mainly B-movies then Ken Takakura + Fukusaku's series with Bunta Sugawara. More recently just popcorn fun Kitano's Outrage trilogy.

Black Rain is based

Yeah. Op's being retarded on purpose.

It's a mediocre movie with 10/10 cinematography.

There isn't much to it. It doesn't really explore Japanese culture. It's just Michael Douglas walking around Tokyo being racist to his handler with a villain who looks weird and frail, because the actor was dying of cancer.

did you know Hiroshi Yamauchi wasn't actually a human being? He was a vessel that enclosed 7 yakuza oni spirits from 7 different regions in Japan. These oni monopolized the gambling in Japan with the hanafuda Nintendo cards and put a spell so that no other company could produce cards, truly evil.

Yamauchi, often referred to as "大魔王 ティラノ天堂" (Great Evil King Tyranotendo), tyranized the video games market with his monopolic practises, it is said that the Master System or the PC Engine didn't actually ever exist, and that they were invented time after so hide the fact that the Famicom was actually the one and only console existing in Japan

Nobody wants to watch a movie about a bunch of limp dick yellow faggots larping as hardcore gangsters when their most famous crime was torturing and murdering a teenage schoolgirl.

>>223595638
Weird thing to seethe about, chang.
>>
>>223595626
hehe, but seriously how did Nintendo remain free of Yakuza influence for all these years?
>>
>>223595638
Hey, give them some credit. They're also famous for bringing a bunch of Nigerians into the country to harass and scam people in Tokyo.
>>
>>223595024
There are plenty of great Japanese films focusing on the Yakuza. Broaden your horizons dumb mutt.

Don't forget whoring their own women out to them, something japs have been doing for centuries btw.

I'm not Chinese but China mogs Japan so badly that its not even funny. Japanese "civilisation" is literally just Tang era China that never evolved until amerimutts forced them to open their ports up. Today, China could conquer Japan in a week if it wasn't for their American masters protecting them.

Gaijin who try to make Yakuza movies tend to end up having accidents while jerking off in a closet with a rope around their neck like David Carradine.

America is protecting America, by way of Japan-Korea-Philippines. don't let commie gooks try to tell you that containing China in the first island chain isn't American DOMESTIC policy

Because they’re the real deal. Hollywood had to dance around referring to the “mafia” until they became benign enough to depict directly in movies.
>>
>>223596748
because Nintendo is known to be an incredibly litigious company. Imagine being the Yakuza and being sued into bankruptcy and even further than that by Nintendo, how awkward would that be? They'd have to go the finger bank and take out a massive loan for how many they'd be forced to honorably chop off after a blunder like that!

Narcos on Netflix had to end because the cartels were getting pissed off and actually killed a crew member.

While traveling I once confused jacuzzi and yakuza.
Long story short, I got in hot water with the Japanese mafia.

That won't last long. China is going to fulfil what Japan couldn't do in the 30s and 40s.

OP is either pretending or a movielet

Ignoring uuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhh all the Japanese movies about Yakuzas?

Fuck me I hate this board.
