Shadow Wars: The Elusive Kinji Fukasaku Collection - Shadow Wars: The Elusive Kinji Fukasaku Collection - Blu-ray

This collector's triptych features three gritty "jitsuroku" crime classics-Cops vs Thugs (1975), Cross the Rubicon! (1975), and Hokuriku Proxy War (1977)-which expose a chaotic Japan where the line between law enforcement and organized crime is virtually nonexistent. Directed by the legendary Kinji Fukasaku, these films utilize a semi-documentary style with handheld camerawork and frenetic editing to depict the brutal, unromanticized reality of the yakuza underworld.
