The greatest Yakuza series EVER!
Yakuza (gangster) movies were one of the most popular genre of film in post-World War II Japan. Kinji Fukasaku’s five part Battles Without Honor and Humanity, later released as The Yakuza Papers was one of its greatest examples.<br /><br />The series was based upon the diary of a Yakuza boss and was filmed semi-documentary style with constant voice overs to explain the fast moving events, etc.<br /><br />The movie is based in the Hiroshima area and how the gangs there started after the war, expanded, and led to huge wars. This is the final chapter and comes after a wave of shootings and killings between two rival factions led to a popular outcry against the Yakuza and a police crackdown. One gang tried to change its image by becoming a political party, the Tensei Coalition, but some gangsters couldn’t change their ways.<br /><br />Like all the rest Volume 5 is full of plotting, back stabbing, and plenty of violence from start to finish. This was why the Yakuza genre was so successful in Japan and Fukasaku was its greatest auteur. If you’re to watch any Yakuza movie it should be all five of the Yakuza Papers.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : In the wake of a big police crackdown, Akira Kobayashi's icily sun- glassed Takeda attempts to transform the Hiroshima yakuza families into a legitimate political organization: The Tensei Coalition. When the young Matsumura ascends to the chairmanship of the coalition, the older, hardened yakuza led by Jo Shishido (BRANDED TO KILL) seize one last opportunity to stir up chaos and bloodshed. Culminating with the arrests, deaths, or retirement of the first postwar yakuza generation, this milestone series draws to an ambivalent close..
