Good Japanese movies

Quirk

Hey Guys and gals,
Quirk here, does any know any really good japanese gangster/Yakuza films or even just action/gun-fu(kung fu except fists use guns) I love Asian cinema and this would be a great help:nihonjin:

i think azumi and onmyoji is a good japanese film with samurai as weapon:confetti:

Ichi The Killer is a corker of a film. I would recommend that if you're a fan of Takashi Miike.

Also the old Seven Samurai is possibly the best epic samurai film ever.

Takashi Miike does a lot of yakuza themed movies. (he's my favorite director!)
My personal favorite is Ichi the Killer, but it's kind of gorey so if you dont have a strong stomach do not watch it.
But otherwise maybe his Dead or Alive Trilogy should a be good choice! He also made the live action of the game Yakuza (in japanese it's called "Ryu ga gotoku")

Just to warn you, Takashi miike is kind of obscure and does a lot of random sh*t in his movies. But i think you should be alright with Dead or Alive

Dead or Alive: Hanzaisha (1999)
(Read the Warning!)

Ryu ga gotoku (Like a Dragon, Yakuza)
Ryû ga gotoku: gekijô-ban (2007)

updatedaily
