What they share

Theysit in Action / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Fugitive Alien, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Yakuza Weapon is

Island dusk. A cicada's drone. A son returns. His yakuza-boss father murdered, young Shozo seeks vengeance on a gangland traitor. Both fighters fall in ruin, only to rise again remade as cyborg killers. A gonzo remix of Fukasaku and early Cronenberg for midnight movie fans.
