Takashi Miike’s Yakuza classic Deadly Outlaw Rekka hits UK DVD courtesy of ARROW VIDEO this week. Fans of Miike’s other international successes such as Ichi the Killer, Audition and the Dead or Alive trilogy should check out this slightly more obscure title, which takes the fast paced, documentary style of Japanese Yakuza pictures such as those produced by BATTLE ROYALE director Kinja Fukasaku (Yakuza Graveyard, Cops Vs Thugs) and injects it with a massive dose of Rock n Roll attitude thanks to the soundtrack by Japanese Psych-Rock group The Flower Travelin’ Band.
