Yakuza Apocalypse
“The Great War of the Underworld.”

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
An apprentice inherits his gangster boss's vampirism and enters a conflict with an increasingly unreasonable collection of opponents. Takashi Miike eventually adds a martial-arts frog mascot to the problem. The deliberate chaos takes its time, but there are images here that a sensible crime film would never dare submit.
