"Kinji Fukasaku was a Japanese writer and director known for violent gangster films
that challenged the nation's social conventions… By challenging traditions, Fukasaku
paved the way for contemporary yakuza filmmakers such as Takeshi Kitano and Takashi
Miike." - William Sean Wilson (501 Movie Directors, 2007)
