Violent Streets
(1974 -- Japan) After making his name in the samurai genre, master filmmaker Hideo Gosha turned his camera to the world of the yakuza, and the violent streets they control.

The result is a kinetic and stylish explosion of deception, mayhem, and death that leaves no one safe -- and a masterpiece of 1970's yakuza cinema.
