Fudoh: The New Generation (Deluxe Edition)

Product Description Riki Fudoh is a young man whose appearance is misleading. A highly intelligent high school student on the surface, yet underneath, a troubled youth who was traumatized by his brother's murder by his father. Since that time, Riki is driven by the violent urge to see his crime lord father dead. Now, Riki devises a plan to recruit fellow classmates and assemble his own crime organization to destroy the older generation of yakuza bosses and take control for the New Generation! Special Features: Director and star Interview, trailer, new 5.1 surround audio, widescreen. Viewer discretion is advised. Review Fudoh is deliriously violent and packed with the kind of outrageous, transgressive details (hermaphrodite sex, anyone?) that have become Miike's trademark. It's the kind of film that has 'guilty pleasure' written all over it. In 5-foot high neon letters. It is, however, another testament to the talent of Takashi Miike that Fudoh is thematically provocative and thoroughly inspired at the same time. --MidnightEye.com This film delivers... Takashi Miike has been adventurous to go where few other directors would go, combining shock, horror, black comedy and an exciting emotional tone in a way that only Miike can do, great entertainment for the lovers of the extreme. --movieforums.com About the Director Hailed by the critics the world over and winner of the International Fantasy Film Special Jury Award at the 1998 Portugal Fantasporto Film Festival!
