Fudoh: The New Generation Riki Fudoh (Shosuke Tanihara) is a high school student juggling academic work with a secret life operating as an underworld boss. As the leader of a group of larger-than-life, schoolage assassins, Fudoh is waging a campaign of violence against the entire criminal underworld, as part of a revenge plot against his own father (Toru Minegishi), a high-ranking Yakuza in his own right who was forced to murder Fudoh’s brother. Originally planned for release as a direct-to-video V-cinema title, Fudoh was granted a theatrical release after producers viewed the film, leading to it becoming a festival favourite around the world, and establishing Miike on the world stage as one of film’s great provocateurs and a key figure in ‘extreme’ cinema. 4K UHD & BLU-RAY SPECIAL FEATURES 4K restoration by Media Blasters from the best available archive elements 4K UHD and Blu-ray presentation of the feature Original uncompressed mono audio Newly recorded introduction by Takashi Miike (2025, 5 mins) Audio commentary with Takashi Miike and Shosuke Tanihara (2003) Archival interview with Takashi Miike (2012, 41 mins) Archival interview with Shosuke Tanihara (2003, 16 mins) Newly improved subtitle translation Newly commissioned artwork by Time Tomorrow Year: 1996 Country: Japan Cert: 18 Format: UHD & Blu-ray Region: B [UHD disc ABC] RAD162UHD EAN: 5060974683222 Release date: 17/08/26
