- Synopsis:
After conquering much of western Japan, the Nakajima syndicate sets its sights on Tokyo. The gang buys shares in a major shipping company, but Tokyo boss Oishi (Toshiro Mifune) reacts to the threat by forming an alliance with local gangs and political connections. The stage is set for a confrontation between underworld superpowers. In the final part, the Nakajima leadership's desire for expansion brings them to US islands in the Pacific, but they are not alone. The Nakajima gang's reach may well extend its grasp when a turf war erupts on foreign soil. Made at an even bigger scale than the first film, the continuation of the trilogy co-stars Kyôko Kishida (Woman in the Dunes) and Kei Sato (Onibaba). - Actors:
