The Yakuza is a 1974 film directed by Sydney Pollack. (Retired) detective Harry Kilmer (Robert Mitchum) goes to Japan to help out an old friend, George Tanner (Brian Keith), who had been dealing with the yakuza. The yakuza had kidnapped his daughter and her boyfriend to coerce Tanner into a business deal.Harry and Tanner's friendship goes back to World War II, when they served together as Marines in Japan. While in Japan, Harry had fallen in love with a local woman, Eiko, and helped save her sick daughter. Eiko's brother Ken was disgraced by his sister's relationship with a former enemy soldier and he disappeared into the yakuza underworld. However, since Ken owes a lifelong debt (called giri in the movie) to Harry, he reluctantly joins them to help rescue Tanner's daughter.They successfully rescue the hostages, but in doing so they anger the yakuza and contracts on Ken and Harry's lives are issued. Harry refuses to abandon Ken and his family while their lives are in danger, defending them from yakuza attackers, but he eventually learns how much pain his presence in their lives has caused them. Despite this, Ken and Harry overcome their differences, helped by Harry's openness to Japanese tradition.The film emphasizes Japanese tradition and honor among the yakuza, and remarkably has two yubitsume scenes.The film was written by Paul Schrader and his brother Leonard. Paul would notably go on to write Taxi Driver. Rewrites were also undertaken by Robert Towne who wrote Chinatown.If you went to this page hoping for a page describing the yakuza, sorry. It's here. | |

| The Yakuza / int_204fb326 | comment |
Yubitsume: Ken in atonement for killing his nephew, after he'd promised his brother not to harm him. In a surprise twist Kilmer, on the verge of leaving Japan at the end of the movie, returns to Ken's place and cuts off his own finger, apologising for the pain he's caused Ken and asking that he forgive Eiko. | |

Star-Crossed Lovers | |
| The Yakuza / int_e596f27b | comment |
Star-Crossed Lovers: Eiko and Kilmer. They fell in love during the occupation, but when Eiko's brother Ken came back, she had to stop this relationship with an enemy soldier, because Ken could not stand it. Actually, Ken was not her brother, but her husband, so there is a more obvious reason why she had to stop this relationship. Many years later, they are still in love, and Kilmer proposes again to marry Eiko, but she rejects his offer. | |

Camping a Crapper: Subverted; several Yakuza thugs follow Ken into the mens room of a nightclub. He's waiting for them behind the door, but they only want to talk. | |

Mighty Whitey | |
| The Yakuza / int_fed07537 | comment |
Mighty Whitey: Averted in that it's a large part of the film that Harry has to work to understand Japanese values and culture and needs Ken as a guide. And by the time the final battle rolls around, it's clearly Ken's fight and Harry is his support. | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
| The Yakuza / int_fed93e1b | comment |
Dark and Troubled Past: Implied. Not much about Kilmer's past is revealed prior to meeting Eiko, but given that he mentions he doesn't have any family aside from her and Hanako in a rather somber manner. | |
