Two NYC cops arrest a Yakuza member and must escort him when he's extradited to Japan. Two New York cops get involved in a gang war between members of the Yakuza, the Japanese Mafia. They arrest one of their killers and are ordered to escort him back to Japan. In Japan, however, he manages to escape. As they try to track him down, they get deeper and deeper into the Japanese Mafia scene and they have to learn that they can only win by playing the game the Japanese way. Well-photographed from New York to Tokyo, "Black Rain" is yet another credit to the skills of Ridley Scott. The plot follows New York police officer Nick Conklin's pursuit of Sato, a young Japanese mobster who murdered two of his own rivals right in front of Nick (Michael Douglas). Scott handles the action well, and balances well with the drama.<br/><br/>Ken Takakura is very good as Conklin's Japanese partner, while both Douglas and Andy Garcia are convincing in the lead roles. Hans Zimmer's music caps off this very enjoyable, and different (thank goodness) action film.<br/><br/>Tuesday, May 19, 1992 - Video 1989 ending a decade of fantastic movies an era that was unique in so many ways, TALK about cop 80"s movies BLACKRAIN is in the top 10 EASY this movie takes you on a journey that is unforgettable in so many, this movie is for the collection, Ridney used some of the similar styles from bladerunner, that dark mysterious filming which expresses touching realism, backgrounded with Hans zimmers music, and the passion half way through the film of accepting new cultures and the revenge for charlie, the awesome action form douglas,garcia,takakura ,make this movie perfect, the japanese actors are very famous and respected in japan, acually the badguy is no longer with us he passed away, but this movie is American/Japanese… the classic 80's styles music, scenes, and exploring new cultures for the first time makes this movie magical, if you have never been to asia this film brings you all the thoughts you may have about Japanese backstreet life ending the 80"s .. I love this MOVIE.and it is one of most favorite films of all time! NOT TO BE MISSED!!!! Director Ridley Scott's visual gifts are still evident in Black Rain. But with retread plot and characters, Scott's stylistic flourishes become irritating clutter. It's part of the bushido code of conduct that the ancient samurai and the yakuza gangsters adhere to. During the days of the Japanese warlords and the samurai, a dishonorable act carried the punishment of severing one's own finger or part of. The idea was that a samurai that was missing part of a finger or multiple fingers wouldn't be able to wield his katana (samurai sword) as effectively. The Japanese word for the act is yubitsume. On August 6th and 9th, 1945, during World War II, the United States dropped atomic bombs on two Japanese cities. The first, on August 6th, was the western city of Hiroshima, which had been a major Japanese shipping port and industrial production site. The second bomb was dropped on another western city, Nagasaki, three days later when Emperor Hirohito refused to surrender. Following the devastation of those bombings, Hirohito ordered his country's surrender, ending the United States' war with Japan.<br/><br/>Sugai's involvement in this chain of events is that he lived in one of those cities – which city is not revealed – as a boy and was there when the bomb was dropped. As he states "I was 10 when the B-29 came. We were underground for three days. When we came up, the city was gone. Then the heat brought rain; black rain." What Sugai is suggesting is that the pollution from the atomic fallout had somehow turned the rain black. Sugai goes on to say that following the war American values were forced on to his people by the United States, who had agreed to aid in the rebuilding of Japanese society due to the destruction caused not only by the atomic bombings but also from the many other non-atomic bombings of other Japanese cities during the war in the Pacific. The United States became Japan's occupying force following the war and Japanese citizens like Sugai felt that their cultural and societal identity was slowly being stolen from them as a result of such policies. Sugai's ultimate plan is to flood the American economy with counterfeit money and reap the benefits of such a crime. a5c7b9f00b Lego DC Comics: Batman Be-Leaguered movie download hdA Marked Past movie downloadJesse James Rides Again movie mp4 downloadthe Family Matters full movie in hindi free downloadBlack Death movie mp4 downloadFish: A Boy in a Man's Prison telugu full movie downloadSpook Town in hindi downloadGame Time movie download hdThe Grim Adventures of the KND download moviesThursday download movie free
