You can watch Shima wa moratta, full movie on FULLTV - Two years before they collaborated on the immortal Stray Cat Rock series, director Yasuharu Hasebe and soon-to-be-superstar Meiko Kaji teamed up for this potent gangster flick that also stars the great Joe Shishido (Branded to Kill) and Akira Kobayashi, who would shortly thereafter star in Kinji Fukasaku's epic yakuza series Battles Without Honor and Humanity. Emerging from a stint in prison, yakuza lieutenant Sumukawa (Kobayashi) discovers that his gang has disintegrated while he was in the pen. An ambitious type, he quickly hooks up with another gang (led by Shishido) who promise him a prominent position if he helps them deal with a rival family. But bonds are made to be broken, and pledges of loyalty soon give way to competition, betrayal and - naturally - retaliation. Tough, cynical and violent, Retaliation cheerfully overturns romanticized notions of underworld honour, paving the way for Fukusaku's revisionist yakuza pictures of the 1970s.
There are many ways to watch Shima wa moratta online, download or rent it on video-on-demand services (Netflix Movie List, HBO Now Stream), pay-TV or movie theaters with original audio in Japanese. This film was premiered in theaters in 1968 (see all 1968 movies). The official release in theaters could be different from the year of production.
Good, meet its target to entertain. The story is interesting.
