weird. so i'm looking into the movies you suggested and, reading about gozu, i thought to myself "i've seen this"....but i haven't seen it. Wikipedia mentions an opening scene where yakuza are meeting in a restaurant, believe a dog to be a spy outside..and kill the dog. Yeah, I've absolutely seen that. But then the plots seem to diverge. In the movie I saw the one guy leaves the Yakuza and Japan as they're going to kill him, or something along those lines. His friends help smuggle him out of the country and he goes to New York looking for his brother - who turns out to be a small time drug dealer. Older brother builds up little brothers empire, runs the drug game in New York, bad ass shit ensues. What did I see? Why was it different? It was on netflix, by the way...weird.
