Yakuza Weapon
Try me.
Directed by Tak Sakaguchi, Yudai Yamaguchi
Produced by Nikkatsu Corporation, Sushi Typhoon
A gleefully absurd action-thriller that weaponizes human bodies with military hardware, blending revenge narrative with sci-fi body horror and cartoonish spectacle.
After four years overseas, Shozo returns to Japan to avenge his yakuza boss who was assassinated by his own treacherous top man, Kurawaki. The resulting battle leaves both men severely injured, and Shozo awakens in a mysterious medical facility to find his arm replaced with an M61 Vulcan cannon and his leg replaced with a rocket launcher. Meanwhile, Kurawaki has been fitted with mechanical augmentations of his own. Get ready for the second round.
