Shows how blood thirsty cutthroat and factious the Yakuza were
Director Kinji Fukasaku’s Battles Without Honor and Humanity series consisting of five films released between 1973-74 was such a hit that Fukasaku was asked to do a spinoff. That became the three films known as New Battles Without Honor And Humanity released from 1974-76. Like the original series this one highlights how bad the Yakuza (gangsters) were.<br /><br />The setting remained Hiroshima prefecture in Japan right after the Korean War when the economy started booming and the country pulled itself out of the devastation of World War II. The focus was on the Yamamori gang again led by its weaselly boss Yoshio Yamamori played by Nobuo Kaneko. Bunta Sugawara returned as the star but played a new character Makio Miyoshi. He gets out of prison and finds himself caught in the middle of a power struggle between the boss and one of his lieutenants Naotake Aoki played by Tomisaburo Wakayama famous for the Lone Wolf and Cub films who wants to take over.<br /><br />As usual Fukasaku used neo-realism for his movie. Before the Yakuza were usually portrayed as noble people even akin to the samurai with their own code. Fukasaku peeled that all away with the original Battles Without Honor and Humanity which was based upon a diary of a gang members from the 1940s-70s in Hiroshima. The movies showed what a bunch of blood thirsty cutthroats the gangsters were and how they constantly battled with each other for profits, standing and to outdo each other.<br /><br />The New Battles’ story was more derivative than original. Sugawara’s character was almost the same in both series. Even with that being said it is still very enjoyable to watch as Fukasaku was Japan’s greatest producer of Yakuza stories.
