Riki Fudoh is a young man whose appearance is darkly deceptive… On the surface, he’s a model high school student, but beneath that exterior, he’s seething with homicidal hatred and a ruthless thirst for revenge! As a child, Riki witnessed the murder of his brother at the hands of his sadistic Yakuza crime lord father. Ever since then, Riki has been patiently biding his time for the opportunity to avenge his brother’s death. Now, Riki devises a clever plan to recruit his fellow classmates and assemble his own highly trained criminal youth assassin squad! Their single goal is to brutally eradicate the old regime of Yakuza bosses and seize control for the New Generation!
Hailed by critics the world over, Fudoh: The New Generation is the film that brought director Takashi Miike to the attention of international cinema audiences. The film has won awards at numerous film festivals including the 1998 International Fantasy Film Special Award at the Portugal Fantasporto Film Festival.

If you guys hadn’t reported on this I’d have had no idea this was being released. I haven’t seen any advertising for it anywhere. It’s Media Blasters/Tokyo Shock’s first 4K/UHD release, and it’s one of, if not my favorite Takashi Miike movies- a wild ride. Well, I thought I’d let everyone know- it’s available now; my son just ordered it.
