Movie Review - The Yakuza
The Yakuza (1974)
directed by Sydney Pollack
rating: 1 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from the vaults
When Quentin Tarantino started talking about the Shaw Brothers in the nineties, I wanted to watch martial arts movies all the time, even when I sort of thought that one went a long way towards exemplifying the rest. "The Yakuza" never came up in any interview I heard, probably because Paul Schrader's mopey Robert Towne pal-around became outdated the moment teenagers realized that the key ingredient in samurai entertainment is fun.
