Director Kinji Fukasaku`s Battles Without Honor or Humanity series revolutionized the Japanese Yakuza genre in the same way the The Godfather showed a completely new side of the mafia in the US. (Source: Banzai Japanese Cult Movie Posters)
Battles Without Honor and Humanity (Japanese: 仁義なき戦い, Hepburn: Jingi Naki Tatakai) is a 1973 Japanese yakuza film directed by Kinji Fukasaku. The screenplay by Kazuo Kasahara adapts a series of newspaper articles by journalist Kōichi Iiboshi, that were rewrites of a manuscript originally written by real-life yakuza Kōzō Minō. It is the first film in a five-part series that Fukasaku made in a span of just two years.
