In the yakuza society, which has been trying hard but is no longer able to communicate, the Igarashi group, which is famous as a militant yakuza group, is also about to undergo an organizational change. All eyes are on Samejima (Riki Takeuchi), the leader of the group's martial arts group, and Segawa (Hiroshi Fuse), the young head of the group. Meanwhile, contrary to the boss's wishes to lie down on his sickbed, Segawa, the top candidate for successor, begins to do suspicious things behind the scenes. The insatiable greed that the warriors have in their travels begins to stir, and a bloody feud breaks out.
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.
