Burai hijô

Is it different from the other installments in the series? The clear answer is no. As the other parts of the series it is also a good old yakuza movie entry point. yes there is a bit violence but not as grim as many other yakuza movies from the same time. it is more light in the mood.

Do I need to see any of the prior or later episodes to enjoy this? Nope everything is pretty clear and well ended.

Once again Goro the nice yakuza gets involved in a conflict. This time he choose to help the wife of a victim for a faulty gambling debt.

So is there anything new here? Nope the same all the way. Pretty women and a lot of talking about honor. Even a lot of knife fights where the blood sometimes flow as it was paint ;-)

Would I recommend this? To people that love these early yakuza movies or want to try one then this is a good choice for a relaxing evening. If you go for deep story or something special then look elsewhere. I was well entertained and had a good time with the movie and I did enjoy the end especially.
