Y - With Sydney Pollack directing a Paul Schraeder screenplay #TheYakuza is very much a 70s crime thriller.
It is a tough and engaging, but the immersion into Japanese culture and the Yakuza underworld is what sets it apart.
Honour and Loyalty are the overriding themes.

Two pinkies don't make a right. Or something like that. #TCMParty #TheYakuza
The pinky fairy takes it from under your pillow and leaves you a silver dollar. #TCMParty #TheYakuza.
We should probably get you to the urgent care. #TheYakuza #TCMParty
Yeah, okay...but what happens to the pinky afterward?! #TCMParty #TheYakuza
one more pinky before the film ends

Maybe I missed it being stated.
Seeing Takakura on-screen reminded me of his playing the taciturn Uchiyama in "Mr. Baseball"
And the LTD benefits suck

It’s good to see an upper-level manager who hasn’t lost his frontline skills. #TheYakuza #TCMParty
The yakuza looks like one of those industries in which there’s really high turnover. #TheYakuza #TCMParty
Woopsie! I thought he promised he would make sure the guy with the spider tattoo on his head didn’t get killed. #TheYakuza #TCMParty
Looks like Mitchum brought a gun to a sword fight. #TCMParty #TheYakuza
Mitchum's shotgun got its own key light. #TheYakuza #TCMParty
The fight choreography 🤌🏾 #TheYakuza #TCMParty
Harry packed a lot of great outerwear for this trip. #TCMParty #TheYakuza

Ben mentioned this in the intro...
The name ‘yakuza’ comes from the Japanese card game Oicho-Kabu. One of the worst hands you can be dealt is 8-9-3 pronounced ya-ku-za.
