Rarely mentioned as one of the all time greats, but a browse through their filmography will turn up a number of films that deserve to be recognized among cinema's great classics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitially, Gosha was an instrumental part of the transformative shift of Samurai cinema from chivalrous tales of court intrigue into gritty stories of unscrupulous ronin. Movies like Three Outlaw Samurai, Goyokin and Sword of the Beast are 60s classics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eViolent Streets is part of Gosha's shift into crime thrillers in the 1970s. A kinetic, exploitation-tinged Yakuza film starring actual former Yakuza gangster-turned-actor Noboru Ando. It's a bloody, brutal film, not necessarily suitable for sensitive viewers, but highly memorable for anyone looking for more classic Japanese cinema gems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecial Features (via vinegarsyndrome.com)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTattooed Director: Hideo Gosha featurette with Tomoe Gosha\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA Street That Can’t Be Beat video essay by TokyoScope author Patrick Macias\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e16-page booklet with a new essay by Japanese film expert Mark Schilling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnglish subtitles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Zane's Video","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48192368214206,"sku":"850021115937","price":39.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/1436\/2558\/files\/ViolentStreets_01_Front.png?v=1786691949","url":"https:\/\/zanesvideostore.com\/products\/violent-streets-blu-ray","provider":"Zane's Video","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
