Sympathy for the Underdog (博徒外人部隊 Bakuto gaijin butai?) is a 1971 Japanese yakuza film, directed by Kinji Fukasaku and starring Koji Tsuruta and Noboru Ando.
This film was director Kinji Fukasaku's (Battle Royale, Battles Without Honor and Humanity) last film featuring Koji Tsuruta as the main character. In the film Koji Tsuruta plays a hard boiled Yakuza boss, Gunji, whose yakuza gang is driven out of Yokohama by a powerful gang from Tokyo. After being released from prison, Gunji collects what's left of his loyal members in order to start over his small organization. However after setting up their new operation in Okinawa, the large yakuza organization from Tokyo that was responsible for their previous downfall and Gunji's imprisonment, comes to the island in a grand procession to gain control of the territory. This leads to a bloody and cold confrontation that is the climax of the film.
Love the stuff of his I've seen ,really want to see his 1961 film "vigilante with a funky hat" purely for the title alone.If it's even half as a good as its moniker it'll be a belter .

I'll keep my eye out for you, I have a few bear stroking film resources that I use. I am thinking of buying his stuff on DVD though as it's worth it, I just like to watch it before I commit to spending £20 on an imported DVD!

If you liked Threads check out Z For Zachariah
The book is far better (had to read it when I was 13 at school) but the Play unsettled me more than the book:

Last night i saw 1984 as it was on TV.
I had read most of the book a while ago and it was strange because the film looked just as i imagined.
Good watch anyway.
