Keep your eyes open.

Don't you think it's time

for your brother to move?

He likes it here.

What about you?

I'll go with you.

How is he?

Much better.

He's fooling around with Denny.

We caught the pusher who ran away.

They caught the runaway pusher.

What shall we do with him?

Have him cut off his fiinger.

What are you doing? Stand up.

Go to the sushi bar.

Get knife and cutting board.

Yes, sir.

What are you guys gonna do?

Cut his fiinger off.

What happens

if you cut his fiinger off?

He can't swim straight anymore.

How's that?

You can't feel anything, can you?

Do it.

Do it.

Do it!

I'll show you how to do it!

Stick your fiinger out!

Wait, man, wait!

I'll give it back. Just stop this sh*t.

Don't cut my f***in'...

Oh, sh*t.

You mother... F***!

Who's the boss of Little Tokyo?

We can expand, if he joins us.

- Hey, Mo.

- Yeah?

Who's the boss of Little Tokyo?

Some player named Shirase.

Should I tell Aniki...

if we got together...

like, join up with them...

our family will be bigger?

What do you think?

A guy named Shirase.

Let's talk to Aniki.

Joining forces with Shirase

is a bad idea.

Why?

He's way too dangerous.

So are we.

You want me to get you

some cigarettes?

No, thanks.

Why?

My stomach hurts.

I'm sory, man.

just joking.

You're messing with me, man.

You wait here.

Don't give me that bullshit!

Be sworn brothers with him?

Be Yamamoto's henchman?

What the f***.

I've come this far by myself.

I haven't had any help from anyone.

Why doesn't Yamamoto come himself...

instead of a punk like you?

Who the f*** does he think he is?

Aniki's not good at things like this.

This? F*** him.

These f***ing guys

want me to be a henchman.

What should I tell them?

You won't reconsider?

No way.

If we joined up,

we'd be better off and bigger.

I can do that on my own.

Get out!

You motherf***er!

We can crush you anytime!

Just ty it.

- Didn't work out.

- Thought so.

He's impossible.

Let's go.

Hey, we're going.

- I have something to do.

- What is it?

- Nothing much.

- Let's go.

- My appointment.

- What is it?

What do you want?

About what we discussed...

I said the answer is no.

We really want you to join us.

If you like, you can be

equal brothers with Yamamoto.

That's bullshit.

I'd stake my life for Aniki.

What are you talking about, a**hole?

A line from a gangster movie.

Oh, yeah?

Let's see if you mean it.

Lend me your gun.

Go ahead. Stake your life.

I count on you, "uncle."

Stop.

I'm all yours.

Aniki.

Kill them.

The boss says we don't need you.

What is this bullshit?

You need me!

You wanna f***in' expand, you need me.

I'm the man.

You know how many people I killed?

I got a long list of bodies.

You f***in'Japs cross me...

you'll be on that

long list of dead...

You.

Come upstairs.

- You did it this time, boy.

- How's your friend feel?

You want some

Come and get some

Where you from?

Take care now.

Who are they?

Crooked cops.

They're on the take.

Get out of here.

Shirase, aren't you overdoing it?

For Brother Kato's sake,

we have to make this family bigger.

I'm going all the way.

Don't smoke that thing

in front of me!

Sory, sir.

He's in a bad mood.

What happened?

What's this dirty bag?

Shut up. Go home.

There's a letter for Mr. Kato.

It's from Mr. Harada in Tokyo.

I'll take it.

How are you doing?

How's Brother Yamamoto?

I've had troubles...

but I have my own family now.

I owe it all to him that

I've come this far as an outsider.

That's some finger

you had made.

With that on, you won't

be thrown out of golf clubs.

Excuse me, sir.

Mr. Harada and my boss

sure are prosperous.

Being an outsider,

it wasn't easy.

Because of your efforts...

we've grown bigger.

Keep up the good work...

and no rivaly.

Yes, sir.

But, Boss.

Since there's

an outsider among us...

it's hard to tell

what he's hiding inside him.

Matsumoto,

are you talking about me?

Do you want to take a look

at what's in my stomach?

Bring me a knife!

Yes, sir!

See for yourself.

Take him away.

Matsumoto,

you tarnished this celebration.

I demand you take

responsibility for this!

Sory, sir!

Please forgive me with this.

The Mafiia is harassing us.

Should we give them a share?

They're demanding half,

aren't they?

Well? Sugimoto?

20% is the limit.

We got your woman.

Come to the Sixth Street Bridge.

Come alone.

Where is he going?

Home, I guess.

Shouldn't you take him home?

He doesn't want me

to know where he lives.

Ah. That's playing it safe, huh?

Isn't Aniki coming?

No. He's got something

to take care of.

Sh*t.

You know, he should be paying

more attention to the family business.

Hey, the Mafia says

20% is not acceptable.

- They want 50%.

- Well, f*** them.

What shall we do?

It's war.

F*** with the Italians,

we'll be askin' for trouble.

Yeah. We'll all die.

I'm a yakuza

from the old school.

If I have to die, so be it.

Freeze!

- Bring him over here.

- Yes, sir.

Who sent you?

Which family?

Aniki?

Are you okay?

You don't look so good, man.

You gonna eat?

Denny...

run away.

What?

Where to?

Here. Eat it.

Really?

All right.

So, it's war.

Hey, boys.

Here's to the boss.

- Here.

- Thank you.

We just killed Geppetti,

so it's war.

You better be ready.

The Mafiia will

torture you to death.

If you get caught...

take one of these.

You'll die quickly, without pain.

Aniki.

You and l,

we don't need this sh*t, right?

It's over.

We'll all die.

What a terrible thing to do.

Clean it up.

Yes, sir.

Aniki.

We are going to avenge

Aniki's death.

Don't even think about running.

- Denny, give me my 9-millimeter!

- Okay, buddy, let's go.

Colin. Colin!

So he's dead.

Let's go.

Mr. Sugimoto, you can leave now.

We're closing the offiice.

I want to update

the books through today.

- What's that?

- Clothes.

- What is it?

- Some clothes.

Let's go to

my mother's house for now.

Okay. Go.

Wait here.

Ma!

Oh, God!

Oh, God!

Aniki, we're fiinished.

I'm leaving town.

Up to you.

What about you?

I'm staying.

Oh, God.

Jay, run!

" DEATH"

There's only one of'em.

Let's go.

Aniki, you don't have

to do this, you know.

This is my business.

Denny, okay.

Go ahead.

Oh, God!

Aniki.

So, what you wanna do with him?

All right, here's how it works.

Now, one of these five strings

is attached to the trigger.

You get to choose three.

If none of'em pull...

we'll let you go, honestly.

All right?

Now go ahead, choose three.

Come on.

Come on.

Pick one.

The first one on the left.

This one? All right.

All right.

Choose another one.

Come on.

Uh, fifth one.

Fifth.

One, two, three...

Pretty lucky guy.

All right, last one.

- Come on!

- The second one.

Second one.

Goddamn son of a b*tch!

You motherfuckers!

Get out.

Get out!

Come on. Come on!

What are you doin'?

Here. Take it.

Run away.

Denny, your eye...

I did it.

Yeah, I know, my brother.

You even kill

one of your own men.

You evil son of a b*tch, you.

Takeshi Kitano

Takeshi Kitano (北野 武, Kitano Takeshi, born 18 January 1947) is a Japanese comedian, television personality, director, actor, author, and screenwriter. While he is known primarily as a comedian and TV host in his native Japan, abroad he is known almost entirely for his filmwork. With the exception of his works as a film director, he is known almost exclusively by the stage name Beat Takeshi (ビートたけし, Bīto Takeshi). Kitano rose to prominence in the 1970s as one half of the comedy duo Two Beat, before going solo and becoming one of the three biggest comedians in the country. After several small acting roles, he made his directorial debut with 1989's Violent Cop and garnered international acclaim for Sonatine (1993). But he was not accepted as a director in Japan until Hana-bi won the Golden Lion in 1997. In October 2017, Kitano's completed his Outrage crime trilogy with the release of Outrage Coda.He has received critical acclaim for his idiosyncratic cinematic work, winning numerous awards with Japanese film critic Nagaharu Yodogawa having once dubbed him "the true successor" to influential filmmaker Akira Kurosawa. Many of Kitano's films are dramas about yakuza gangsters or the police. Described by critics as using an acting style that is highly deadpan or a camera style that approaches near-stasis, Kitano often uses long takes where little appears to be happening, or editing that cuts immediately to the aftermath of an event. Many of his films express a bleak worldview, but are also filled with humor and affection for their characters. more…
