Battles Without Honor And Humanity The Complete Collection Blu-ray Set presents Kinji Fukasaku’s landmark five-film yakuza saga in High Definition, a gritty, explosive chronicle that redefined Japanese crime cinema. Influencing filmmakers from Quentin Tarantino to Takashi Miike, this series brought documentary-style realism, political complexity and shocking violence to the genre.

 

Spanning twenty years of post-war upheaval, the saga follows over one hundred characters through shifting alliances, betrayals and gangland warfare in Hiroshima and beyond.

 

The five films included are:

Battles Without Honor and Humanity (1973)
Hiroshima Death Match (1973)
Proxy War (1973)
Police Tactics (1974)
Final Episode (1974)

 

Beginning in the chaotic black markets of post-war Japan, ex-soldier Shozo Hirono rises within the Yamamori gang, only to become disillusioned by corruption and treachery. As the series progresses, rival factions battle for dominance through the 1950s, 60s and 70s, culminating in the transformation of the underworld into corporate power structures.

 

Blending Shakespearean drama, rapid-fire editing and unflinching brutality, Fukasaku’s epic stands as one of the defining achievements of world crime cinema.
