| Tetsu the Phoenix (beige gloves) vs. Tatsu the Viper (black gloves)... I know, it's a little confusing |
Not to be confused with the movie in the "Fast and the Furious" series, this 1966 film is about a yakuza member, Tetsu the Phoenix, who, along with his boss Kurata, decides to go straight. Another yakuza clan, led by Otsuka, is wary and do their best to bring them back into a life of crime.
When Tetsu decides to flee Tokyo until things cool down, he is tracked down by the killer, Tatsu the Viper, sent by a rival gang.
Culminating in a slapstick bar fight followed by a highly stylized final confrontation with the boss who betrayed him and his other enemies, Tokyo Drifter, despite huge plot holes, is a good movie that has influenced many other films since its release.
