Japanese Gangster films

[Hyewonee]

I like movies with strong female character. They are awesome.
Now, would yakuja be considered as gangster? If so, I am so voting for Gokusen series... lolz

this is a good effin question man !!

there are definitely contenders out there but i think the sad truth is that not one of them is truly great! and thats a real shame because the material they could source is amazing !

btw - i know the names of most i have seen but there was one which was quite good which i cant it was about a gangster who got out of prison and turned against his old bosses - eventually jumping off the roof at the end.

Silly question, its not exactly Japanese but can I count Kung Fu Hustle for this?
