Desc: Taiketsu: Directed by Toshio Masuda. With Akira Kobayashi, Hideki Takahashi, Ichirô Nakatani, Sanae Kitabayashi. A companion piece to DUEL aka ENDLESS DUEL, also directed by Masuda, with a nearly identical cast. Refreshingly well-written, with some notable, welcome variations on the standard ninkyô yakuza formula.
