SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Miike brings the same volatile Shinjuku underworld energy, fractured criminal loyalties, and sudden eruptions of stylized violence, but follows a younger group of outsiders with a more melancholy edge.
02
Why this pick
For Dead or Alive’s abrasive yakuza nihilism: an unstable antihero hurtles through a corrupt underworld in a deliberately ugly, punishing, darkly comic crime saga.
03
Why this pick
This is the raw first entry in Miike’s Black Society trilogy, sharing Dead or Alive’s Shinjuku setting, cross-border gang conflict, feverish pace, and confrontational visual intensity.
04
Why this pick
A yakuza errand mutates into an oneiric nightmare, matching Miike’s willingness in Dead or Alive to break crime-film reality with outrageous, deadpan surrealism.
05
Why this pick
Its lone, damaged protagonist and criminal-world pursuit offer a more controlled version of Dead or Alive’s hard-edged urban tension, with fierce action and emotional stakes beneath the brutality.

01 / THE STORY
Ryūichi and his small gang of triads vie for control of the Japanese Organized crime in a crime-ridden Shinjuku, Tokyo quarter, while Detective Jojima tries to bring it down. Jojima attempts to start a gang war between the Triad and Yakuza as he deals with his daughter's expensive health problems. Ryūichi and Jojima meet in a chaotic showdown that ends as a magic fireball thrown by Ryūichi and a rocket fired by Jojima cause an explosion that destroys the entire planet Earth.
