She soon settles in, living in her uncle's pool hall and working at the local hostess club. But when ruthless yakuza Owada (Koji Nanbara, 11 Samurai) attempts to take control of the club, Nami and her uncle devise a plan to take him down. In the sequel, Kaji is paired up with the equally legendary Sonny Chiba at his most charismatic as the streetwise Ryuji, who takes a shine to Nami and decides to help her on her quest to avenge her father. Together they'll comb through every seedy gambling den and lowlife ruffian of the Ginza underworld until Nami finally zeroes in on her prey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeiko Kaji is magnetic as the steely and righteous Nami, whose foray into Tokyo's sordid back alleys is brought to life by Yamaguchi's energetic direction in this electric spectacle of 1970s Japanese crime cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e         \u003ch2\u003eMedia\u003c\/h2\u003e         \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4qK4VOziKVI\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWatch trailer »\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e      \u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dRoLaMbRz0U\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e    \u003c\/p\u003e           \u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GqQMjct7qVU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e    \u003c\/p\u003e        \u003ch2\u003eBonus Materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLIMITED EDITION CONTENTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Definition (1080p) Blu-ray presentation of both films \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal lossless Japanese mono audio for both films \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional newly translated English subtitles for both films\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new audio commentary for Wandering Ginza Butterfly by Japanese cinema experts Patrick Macias and Matt Alt, hosts of the Pure TokyoScope podcast \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchival audio commentary for Wandering Ginza Butterfly by Japanese cinema expert Chris D. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack to Back in the Yakuza Multiverse, a brand new interview with Patrick Macias and Matt Alt on Wandering Ginza Butterfly 2: She-Cat Gambler \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre Mill Memories, an archival interview with director Kazuhiko Yamaguchi \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eButterfly and Scorpion, an archival appreciation of star Meiko Kaji by Japanese action and pink film expert J-Taro Sugisaku \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal trailers for both films \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible sleeve featuring new artwork for both films by Andy Bourne \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollectors’ booklet featuring new writing on the films by Asian cinema expert Camille Zaurin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCast \u0026amp; Crew\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eActors:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Meiko Kaji\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Tsunehiko Watase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Junzaburo Ban\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Sonny Chiba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Yukie Kagawa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Fujio Suga\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Tatsuo Umemiya\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Akiko Koyama\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Kôji Nanbara\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Yayoi Watanabe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Tomiko Ishii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Chie Kobayashi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Meg Flower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e      Rena Ichinose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirector:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kazuhiko Yamaguchi\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Arrow Video\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mystery\/Thriller\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 172 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 04\/07\/26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 760137187684\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"ARROWFILM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47324907897062,"sku":"AV776","price":25.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1776\/5371\/files\/AV776.jpg?v=1774015451","url":"https:\/\/roninflix.com\/products\/wandering-ginza-butterfly-collection-limited-edition-blu-ray","provider":"Ronin Flix","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
