Ambitious yakuza Kenji befriends harmonica-playing bartender Chuji, who moonlights as a part-time drug-dealer for the opposing gang. Their friendship is threatened by Kenji's plans for advancement, as well as by his bodyguard's growing jealousy of Chuji.

While not strictly speaking a "horror" film this yakuza crime classic does however end in a violent storm of bloodshed and bullets. A must have for any Takashi Miike collector.
