After the death of the 12th-generation boss, Gunji Washio, the Naito Shinjuku Family attempts to rebuild under acting boss Kanemaru (Masaya Kato). However, a clash arises with the underboss, Reiji (Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi), who nominates Gunji’s successor, Taiga Washio (Haruto Ochiai), as the 13th-generation boss. This discord fractures the once-unified family. Adding to the chaos, the Tokyo Four Society, which had been held together by Gunji’s absolute leadership, falls into disarray. Shinjuku descends once more into a lawless battlefield of feuding yakuza factions. The conflict between Reiji’s sense of justice and Kanemaru’s vision of leadership traces its origins back to a tragic incident during the era of the 11th-generation boss, Kiryu Washio (Shinzo Horita).
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.
