Yakuza Graveyard

"Yakuza Graveyard receives a solid treatment on disc from Kino. The transfer is pretty good for a vintage foreign effort: the anamorphic widescreen transfer boasts accurate if slightly faded colors and a nice clarity of detail. There's a slight blurring of motion in spots but this doesn't ruin the image. The mono soundtrack offers a nice, clear sound and the skillfully translated English subtitles are easy to read. Extras are slim: basically, there are two trailers (one for Yakuza Graveyard and another for Cops Vs. Thugs) and a brief image gallery. Beyond that, there is nothing else. Given the status of Fukasaku as filmmaker, one wishes there at least would have been a text essay or an interview with a critic to put the film into context. That said, Fukasaku fans will be happy to see a nice looking anamorphic disc of this title and this disc of Yakuza Graveyard works as a solid no-frills effort."
