Sogo Ishii, who since 2012 has gone by the name Gakuryu, stamped his mark upon the world of Japanese film early on life, co-directing his first feature “Panic High School” during his first year of college. Two years on, the budding young filmmaker, now free from studio constraints, would go on to shoot his graduation project; “Crazy Thunder Road”. An effort so impressive that Toei picked it up for nationwide distribution, the film has become a classic of early cyberpunk cinema. A fiercely rebellious piece of filmmaking, the movie is a vital example of the jishu eiga (self-produced films) movement that emerged in the late 70s and early 80s.
The film follows the conflict that arises amongst the Maboroshi bikers, who agree to stop riding to form an alliance with similar gangs in the city. Their leader, Ken (Koji Nanjo), gives up riding altogether to settle down with his girlfriend,...

– “So why did you become a yakuza?”
– “Do you need a reason to become a yakuza in this country?”
When Shoichi Yomi (Hiroyuki Watanabe) takes on a kamikaze mission to eradicate a rival crime faction single-handedly, it ends tragically with him in a coma, tied to a hospital bed.
10 years later, Yomi wakes up to everyone’s surprise, only to see that the power lines have shifted, and new alliances formed. He seeks out his old buddy Eto (Tatsuo Yamada), but it becomes clear soon that too many people would have preferred for him to stay comatose. Yomi is banished to Hiroshima on some false pretence, where he starts putting together a comeback and revenge plot to settle the debt once and for all.
“Shinjuku Outlaw” is an deceptively ordinary Miike film. It’s one of Miike’s numerous V-Cinema (straight to video) entries that deals its cards fast and dirty.
