Loose-cannon gangster Kawada rebels when his two-timing boss forms an alliance with a major crime syndicate
In Hokuriku Proxy War, loose-cannon gangster Kawada rebels when his two-timing boss forms an alliance with a major crime syndicate. The syndicate's main rivals see Kawada as their perfect proxy, but his furious temper quickly rubs them the wrong way, leaving Kawada to face overwhelming forces.

The final yakuza film from Kinji Fukasaku (Battle Royale) features some of the strongest women's roles in his career, plus a raucous central performance from Hiroki Matsukata (Cops vs Thugs) and support from the legendary Sonny Chiba (Street Fighter).
