- CC16mm Memberchris c.Verified Buyer3 weeks agoRated 5 out of 5 starsFukasaku combo
Nice combination of two films from the same director that have different moods, styles, and presentations. Watched Violent Panic: The Big Crash first and liked this one a little more. It's got that 70's Japanese crime cool that I dig. At least it starts out that way. By the end it goes pretty bonkers, almost 'zany'. There is a massive car chase, the 'Big Crash', that envelopes anyone that gets close to it. Almost goes Benny Hill and I half expected Yakety Sax to kick on at some point. It's not a Yakuza movie but about low level bank robbers and the struggles of the lower class. That is actually the similar theme shared in Wolves, Pigs, and Men. While this one has involvement in the Yakuza culture, it focuses on three brothers and their standing in society. Most of the film's run time is spent deep in the slums of the lower class. The black and while cinematography and vibe make it feel more 'noir', but, again, it still has that Japanese crime/yakuza involvement. Fantastic double feature!
- AP35mm MemberAndrew P.Verified Buyer1 month agoRated 5 out of 5 stars2 amazing crime movies from the master
Incredible two movie set from Fukasaku: the gritty b&w Wolves, Pig and Men & vibrantly colorful Violent Panic: The Big Crash present the best of both worlds for any fan of Japanese crime cinema. A must buy for fans of the genre.
- BG16mm MemberBrian G.Verified Buyer1 month agoRated 5 out of 5 starsA must-own set from one of Japan's most exhilarating and uncompromising directors
Ferocious Fukasaku is a dynamite 2 pack featuring Wolves, Pigs and Men, along with Violent Panic: The Big Crash. Besides both being crime films, these 2 serve as bookends to Fukasaku's incredible Yakuza era, made 12 years apart and with an astonishing 27 movies in between the two that Fukasaku directed. You can see his evolution as a ground-level director whose camera was as violent as the subjects he captured. Absolutely crisp and faithful transfers let these details cut through your home media set up with razor sharp clarity. Like any of these releases, you can expect gorgeous packaging and excellent features to supplement your experience. This is a steal and truly is a must own for fans of Japanese cinema, crime movies and unrelenting, bleak action. 10/10
