Three tough thrillers from the acclaimed director of 'Battle Royale'.

Graveyard Of Honour: Rikio Ishikawa is a brutal street thug who is drawn into the powerful Kawada gang in 1946 Tokyo. His insubordination and rebelliousness encourage him to start his own Yakuza family, but he decides the easiest way would be to challenge his own Godfather, whom he brutally attacks. This disrespect to his boss brings the ultimate form of disgrace upon himself and his 'family'. For his own safety, he surrenders to the police and spends more than a year in jail. But Ishikawa's dishonourable actions have set him against the entire world, as any Yakuza gangster would win favour by killing him. Barred from joining any Tokyo gang for ten years, he flees to Osaka, where he plans his return to Tokyo only a year later so that he can begin his violent and drug-fuelled rise to power.

Cops Vs Thugs: It is 1963, and the police of Kurashima City have spent the past seven years eradicating the Yakuza gangs which have caused so much strife in the city. The last two remaining gangs, Ohara and Kawade, are in tatters, with the Ohara Boss in prison. But with the police force full of corrupt officers, the gangs begin to flourish once again. The Kawade gang, sensing the opportunity to strike their enemies while their leader is incarcerated, decide to stage a raid on a club owned by their rivals, but the attention of the police is drawn to both gangs again. Ken Hirotani is running the Ohara gang while the Boss is in jail, and he soon discovers that a childhood friend, Kuno, is now a police detective assigned to clean up the underworld. But Kuno's loyalties lay more with his friend than his career, and his honour is tested time and time again. When a major property deal goes bad, the police are able to persuade the two gangs to come to a truce, but there are elements of both sides who don't like what their superiors are negotiating. Soon it's not only Cops vs Cops, as loyalties are strained and honour pushes the boundaries of the law, with an epic showdown looming.

Japan Organised Crime Boss: The Yakuza is in turmoil when Osaka's ruthless Danno Organisation has ambitions to take over and control the entire Japanese underworld. After staging a series of successful territorial battles, they make their way to Yokohama's busy port district with the intention of ruling that too. An alliance is formed between the remaining Yakuza clans to take on the might of the Danno organization.
