Enjoyed these a lot more than I thought I would. Packaging and transfer are all top-notch. Can't get enough of these Yakuza films being put out lately.

Great release of all three 60s Yakuza crime films. Perfection. 5/5 stars!
- PR16mm MemberPeter R.Verified Buyer3 weeks agoRated 5 out of 5 starsI almost missed this one
I almost missed this one because I've OD'd on '70s Yakuza films. Though described as yakuza, these stories take place circa 1890 and were made in the late '60s - so much more in common with Lone Wolf, Lady Snowblood, etc. The first film is a stone cold classic. The two sequels are very strong, though a slight step down from the first. The scenarios are very similar to the Zatoichi series with the wandering lady gambler, though there are a number of carryover characters so there is some attention to continuity. Transfers are fine, the booklet essay decent, though I would have preferred maybe a little more since the on-disc features are not overly abundant.

The audio and video are fantastic as usual, and I'm thrilled we got the first three. I'm hoping we eventually get the rest of the series because these were a lot of fun and not the typical pinky violence films I initially thought they were.
