Overview
A once-powerful yakuza clan disbands as a result of a police crackdown, but one small group refuses to bow to police pressure, and launches a campaign to take over Tokyo’s drug, prostitution, and gambling rackets. Someone wants to stop them. Is it the police? Rival gang members? Or is it an entirely new group of hired killers who will stop at nothing to gain complete control of Tokyo’s “bloody territories”?

Viewing Notes
Sparse, at times bordering on leaden, Bloody Territories explores what has become familar, er, territory at this point: Yakuza gangs running up against the law and other gangs, fighting over territory and against obsolescence.
Despite all that, there are some great scenes here, if you just have the patience to sit for it.
