    • Trivia
      When one of the henchmen bends his knees, left hand stretched out, towards the opponent gang, it's because it's the "jingi greeting" by which a yakuza introduced himself in a formal way.

    a fun yakuza comedy

    Honestly, it feels like 2/3rd of the other reviews did not even see the movie. Nudity? There was none besides the old men baring their chests. Smoking hot girl? There's barely any women in the film. You got the fat wife of the main characters son for 10 minutes total, a couple hostesses in 2 scenes and another old hostess friend of the main character who gets the undress the male main character, but stays fully dressed herself. Violence towards normal people? They barely even attack anyone, being elderly versions of the old honorable yakuza cliché. The only fights are against cartoonishly evil crooks that steal from the elderly. Its not even an action movie. There's a few action scenes, but they mostly exists to poke fun at the old guys or are flashbacks that serve as references to older yakuza flicks. Its just a fun getting the gang back together film like the Korean film 'Sunny' or the American 'Stand Up Guys' but not bad like Stand Up Guys was. It won't change anyone's world but it was consistently funny and would satisfy any lover of yakuza films. For anyone who cares, there's no real gore, it sticks mostly to comedic violence.
