5.0 out of 5 stars Graveyard of Honor Miike style., August 18, 2007

This review is from: Graveyard of Honor (DVD)

This is a remake of the original 1975 classic, and it doesnt disappoint. Unlike the original, it focuses more on Ishikawa's relationship with his heroine addicted girlfriend. Some of the scenes reminded me a bit of Yakuza Demon which Miike made a year later, so if you enjoyed that film, then you should like this one aswell, although this one seems a little more melancholic and definitley more violent. I know I shouldnt really compare this to the original as even Mr. Miike has said he had no intention of rivaling this remake with the original, but I would like to say I thought this version was better. I especially enjoyed how Miike remade the scene where Ishikawa barricades himself in his apartment and has a shootout with the cops. In Miike's version it's more of a comical scene, with Ishikawa firing wildly with a literally an entire arsenal of handguns in nothing but his boxer shorts, and finally running back inside and waving a white shirt while shouting "I give up! I ran out of bullets!"
I would highly recommend this film to any Miike or Yakuza film fan.

I wholeheartedly say that in this current Hollywood age of remaking prior movies--especially if they were actually well-aged masterpieces, THIS redo of Kinji Fukasaku's true crime biopic is given a more well-adapted, post-Bubble Economy update, leaving little to nothing behind when it comes to the gritty and unflinching character study of an actual gangster figure, whom never quite learned about the consequences of maturely controlling one's (perpetually) adolescent animal-like rage, which this Rikuo Ishikawa (renamed Ishimatsu) failed to abide or more importantly, understand--which explains the needlessly tragic outcome of drug addictions and alienating the very folks that could have been highly beneficial in the longer run... But then again, any fans of History Channel's Gangland will understand the predictable patterns to those who gush over the 'thug' lifestyle!

this is my top yakuza movie of all time. whats even better is that its based on a true story. see the life of the most violent charismatic yakuza that ever lived. if u can handle the gore and nonstop violence, u shuld add this to ur collection.
