DVD Description

Family 1 – Shudder at the Yakuza Mafia’s takeover of Japan’s dark side. There is no bond like the Family bond of the Yakuza. The story of Japan’s Yakuza Families and the ultimate test of loyalty. Kidnapping, murder, boat chases, big explosions, sexual exchanges, beautiful women and drugs abound in this beautifully shot film.

Family 2 – Hisao Maki’s popular Manga comic, Shukan Jitsuwa Weekly, is brought to life by acclaimed director Takashi Miike! The first half of the Family saga, chock full of action and violence, its finally here! Genius director Takashi Miike brings us the exciting climax to this saga of one family’s deadly struggle.

Bodyguard Kiba – In addition to his karate dojo, Tetsu Daito runs God Hand, a company through which his apprentice, Naoto Kiba, hires himself out as a bodyguard in order to earn money to support the dojo. Though Kiba has often heard his master say that no one would come to God Hand with a dangerous assignment, he is constantly in danger. This time he agrees to guard a beautiful woman in Hong Kong, thinking he’ll have an easy time of it, however …. This is a true martial arts film set in exotic Hong Kong!

Bodyguard Kiba Apocalypse of Carnage – Naoto Kiba hires himself out as an illegal bodyguard for extraordinary sums of money, and he’s just received his next mission. He has been assigned to guard Jumpei Ishimine, a hoodlum who embezzled 500 million yen from the Soryu-kai, the gang to controls Okinawa. The Soryu-kai send one of Okinawa’s best karate masters after Kiba and Junpei, but Kiba is able to defeat him in the blink of an eye. But then the Soruy-Kai kidnaps Junpei’s old girlfriend, Yoko!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not sure what happened here, 13 Nov 2007
I like Miike films and these are OK as TVM's go. I do not profess to be a Miike anorak and I am sure another reviewer will be able to answer this point but the main negative has to be that Family 1 and 2 seem to require at least a Family 3 to conclude the story as it stops in the middle of the plot...and the plot is good enough to make that a tad annoying.

At least if they bring out another box set I will have to buy it! bodyguard Kiba is OK watching too...I mean you are paying £3 per program so it doesnt have to be amazing to make it reasonable value for money.
