Bunta Sugawara


Has anyone seen anything else with Bunta Sugawara in it that they could recommend?

reply

"Gendai Yakuza: Hitokiri Yota", aka "Street mobster" is very cool. Bunta Sugawara plays a street gangster who goes against all the big shots in organized crime in Tokyo. It is almost as good as "Jingi Naki Tatakai". Also check out "The Man who stole the sun" and "Watashi no Guranpa" where he plays a yakuza granddad.

The Man Who Stole the Sun, a real cult classic that one. Be sure to do your research as there are some real ropey copies floating around on DVD.

Thanks all for the recommendations. I own a copy of Man Who Stole the Sun and love it! I will check out the others.

Hey people,

just interested in how you were able to watch Watashi no Guranpa as I am from the UK and have been looking for the movie for ages...!!! Is ther a way to get hold of it with English subtitles?

Thanks!

Get your hands on anything featuring this guy !
I've sat through any number of ordinary-at-best
formulaic gangster flicks from the 60s and 70s,
just to watch the great Bunta-san in action.

Yeah. I love the way he looks at people like he sized them up and dismissed them in one glance.
