Viewing Notes
Nice conclusion to this trilogy of Japanese gang wars in western Japan. I really love Bunta Sugawara throughout all these films and how he’s the straight arrow being true to honor and loyalty of his boss. He’s stoic yet can full on explode in the moment. Also love the handheld camera work that gives an added chaos to the already eruptive situation.
The on location shooting is so good, too. Cool to see that the secret apartment was in Den Den Town in Osaka (very close to where I stayed when I was there). Everything feels so real and lived in (that apartment w/all the pin-up posters was fun to see). I could probably watch the entire Battles Without Honor series again right now.
