Ryuzo and the Seven Henchmen

Ryuzo and the Seven Henchmen (2015) is a Japanese action comedy from director Takeshi Kitano you can watch online on iFILM. Ryuzo is a retired yakuza living as a regular pensioner. Quiet days. Routine. No crime whatsoever.

Then a phone scammer targets him — and something old wakes up. He rounds up seven former crew members, all equally elderly and equally done with being irrelevant, and announces the clan is back. Younger gangsters find this more absurd than threatening, which is precisely Kitano's angle. He plays the comedy completely straight and lets the old men be fearless in the most stubborn, specific ways. Stream Ryuzo and the Seven Henchmen (龍三と七人の子分たち, 2015) online on iFILM.
