Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The V-cinema boom produced hundreds of these direct-to-video yakuza films in the 90s-2000s, with Kataoka directing dozens himself.
Hakuryu has appeared in roughly 200 films, many for Kataoka's 'Legend' series, making this the most committed actor-director partnership you've never heard of.
