Wissenswertes

New Battles Without Honor and Humanity: Last Days of the Boss is a 1976 Japanese yakuza film directed by Kinji Fukasaku. It is the third and final film in a series of films with unrelated plotlines, following New Battles Without Honor and Humanity (1974) and New Battles Without Honor and Humanity: The Boss's Head (1975).

Production

Fukasaku biographer and film expert Sadao Yamane feels that, unlike New Battles Without Honor and Humanity, Last Days of the Boss is like The Boss's Head and features no relation to the original five-part series, but tells an original story. Put simply, he said that the original series was about Japan having lost the war and the chaos and confusion as its youth fought to survive. Whereas that zeitgeist is not seen at all in the new trilogy.

But unlike The Boss's Head, screenwriter Koji Takada did not have to work with a story someone else had already written and was able to write what he wanted. Takada said that he fulfilled one of his "cinematic wishes" to show a top boss finally get assassinated in a film, noting that it was never seen up to that point.

Takada revealed that, after a pre-release screening of The Boss's Head, Fukasaku told him that they had "failed this time", something Takada disagrees with. The writer also said he believes Sugawara gave his best performance out of all the Battles films.
