Well, if this film doesn’t save hair on your chest, nothing will.
Look up ‘film noir’ in the dictionary and there should be a describe of Robert Mitchum in The Yakuza, alongside Bogie in The Maltese Falcon. It’s that worthy of a film.
The theme is about honor, or “giri.” The last bastion of manhood in an relativistic world ambivalent towards heroism, unsure about any values, correct or otherwise, and gone to hell.

Against this background, you may be a tad on the shady side of the law, but do you preserve faith with your friends?
For that matter, would you risk taking a bullet for someone you personally dislike but whom you “owe” because he’s saved the life of your wife and child?
The site begins when Mitchum is approached by an outmoded army buddy that he hasn’t heard from in decades, effect for the annual obligatory Christmas card. His daughter’s been kidnapped by Japanese mobsters and he needs his encourage.
As to Mitchum, his character is established in one line.

“You’ve been successful? ”
Mitchum: “That depends on how you figure those things.”
True enough. He has no family, no friends, no one even remotely stop. The film noir loner, now in his sixties.
He goes wait on to Japan, links up with the only woman he ever loved, and the one enemy who can aid him procure entry into the dismal world of the Yakuza; an ultra-traditionalist latter-day Samurai ( Tanaka Ken ) who “owes” Mitchum.
One minute pickle, he’s no longer a Yakuza. He’s been out of the mob for years. When Mitchum finds out this abominable bit of inforation and blurts out “I can’t ask you to do that!” Tanaka Ken quietly replies: “You already have.”
The weak warriors go to it again. A sizable anecdote of savor and betrayal. Acted in a style of understated whispers between flashing katanas that bring the house down.
The movie is obliging. It really rates 5 stars for its strong station, acting, direction, and camera work. The theme throughout is honor, and obligation. But pay attention to the “obligation” section. There is the understanding that we are defined by our obligations, a conception that is vastly different between east and west. Personally, I deem we could exhaust a itsy-bitsy more of the Japanese context of obligation in our beget society and culture. And this movie’s depiction appeals to something in me that is, admittedly, fundamentally romantic.
My scrape with the video is this: there are omissions from this version that were in the first version I saw. Some footage has been edited out, and although its omission does not adversely affect the tale line, it was an effective contribution. Also, there are sections where subtitles are omitted. (My most novel viewing was in the company of a friend who speaks Japanese and English, and they provided their beget comments regarding the accuracy, not necessarily of the English rendering, but more on what the Japanese “should” have been in the context.) Mind you, the movie is in English, with some segments of Japanese dialog. But it was disappointing that some of the most eloquent dialog wasn’t even translated.
Maybe someone, somewhere, will grant my wish and execute an unexpurgated version on DVD …
