Of the many filmmakers associated with the Japanese crime film, perhaps none are more synonymous with the genre than Kinji Fukasaku! Throughout his prolific career the director brought his signature energetic style to the screen with a series of gangster and crooked cop films, each one more violent than the next, many of which are now considered unmissable classics of Japanese cinema. This collection from Arrow Video brings together three of Fukasaku's most celebrated films: Street Mobster, Cops Vs Thugs and Doberman Cop.

Press Quotes

Fukasaku manages to create an authentic, violent, and vibrant world that seems to have jumped straight out of the pages of the renowned manga magazine whilst still feeling like a down and dirty noir

     —Nerdist

Bunta Sugawara is as close as the Japanese film industry has ever come to Clint Eastwood. As did Eastwood with Dirty Harry, Sugawara embodied a new antihero for the 1970s and redefined cool

     —Mark Schilling, Variety

[Fukasaku] puts you in the middle of the action; he very often goes from handheld, very visceral filmmaking into a kind of operatic style... you feel as though you are inside the frame

     —William Friedkin
