Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss the original Battles Without Honor and Humanity. A man chops off his finger when he doesn't need to and gets caught in the crossfire of warring Japanese gangsters.
The start to the acclaimed 5-film yakuza saga, this has often been referred to as the Japanese Godfather. However, these films are quite different. The mob is not romanticized but criticized. Full of backstabbing, murder, and a whiff of comedy, this first entry provides good context for the rise of the yakuza after World War II.
