The Naitō Shinjuku Family, Japan's oldest yakuza organization with a hereditary tradition, is led by its boss, Gunji Washio (Hitoshi Ozawa). His young son, Taiga (Haruto Ochiai), though only an elementary schooler, spends his days being trained as the heir by senior lieutenant assistant Reiji (Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi). However, in stark contrast to his father's wild and daring nature, Taiga is timid and prone to tears, raising doubts about his suitability as the next leader. Amid this uncertainty, Gunji's supposedly deceased younger brother resurfaces and assassinates him, plunging the Naitō Shinjuku Family into crisis. To make matters worse, Taiga is kidnapped by an unknown assailant…
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
