From the early 1950s until the early 1990s, industry giant Toei alone produced a total of 252 Yakuza-related films! Safe to say, these movies were incredibly popular for a while! Today, we will take a look at Japan’s post-war film industry, how the Yakuza movie genre became a cultural phenomenon, how some of the genre’s most important directors got their start in the industry, and how the actual Yakuza themselves were at times heavily involved in the business of film-making!
