01
02
Rainy Dog
Why this pick
A similarly raw early-Miike crime descent, trading Shinjuku for a rain-soaked Taipei and centering an isolated yakuza exile under mounting pressure.
03
Dead or Alive
Why this pick
For its hypercharged collision of police, yakuza, and immigrant criminal networks, delivered with Miike’s abrasive style and escalating moral chaos.
04
Gozu
Why this pick
It preserves Miike’s yakuza milieu and volatile male bonds, then pushes the alienation and sexual unease into a far more surreal nocturnal nightmare.
05
Fudoh: The New Generation
Why this pick
Another fierce early Miike underworld film: youthful gang warfare, family betrayal, and sudden grotesque violence with little interest in comforting moral order.
