Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The King of Minami films capture Japan's 1990s recession anxiety, when bankruptcy rates exploded and 'minami' Osaka's underground economy thrived.
Riki Takeuchi filmed multiple entries back-to-back; his character's increasing exhaustion in later films reportedly wasn't always acting.
