The Bird People In China link is gone. Found another on Veoh with English subs. I figured I'd post it here instead of starting a new post.

Black Society Trilogy

If you’re a fan of Miike, these come recommended. All three films are solid works which show how he’s developed as a film-maker, and showcase different facets which prove he’s much more than a sex ‘n’ violence purveyor. Not that these films will be mistaken for Disney flicks, of course. Novices to his offbeat world should probably start with Shinjuku Triad Society, as it’s the most accessible, and work out from there. You’ll soon discover that no-one in the West makes films anything like Takashi Miike.

The first film in this collection does follow in the vein of dead or alive and ichi the killer in its subversive, twisting craziness. However, the second film, Rainy Dog, is much more conventional character study, and far less extreme than the majority of Miike’s work. This film is beautiful and leisurely paced, using the literary device of pathetic fallacy, where the external rain of the environment parallels the emotional states of its central characters. Ley lines is harder hitting with its look at racial bigotry, through its use of sex and violence. All three films are of his best caliber work and solidify the character’s feelings of alienation by their own systems

Shinjuku Triad Society (1995)
Aka: Shinjuku kuroshakai: Chaina mafia sensô
Crime | Drama | Thriller

Tatsuhito Kiriya (Kippei Shiina) and his brother Yoshihito (Kyosuke Izutsu) are from China, and only half Japanese. They fit right into not fitting in, a theme of many of Miike's movies, especially the Black Society Trilogy. Although this trilogy doesn't share stories, it shares common themes, and loneliness and not fitting into mainstream Japanese society is a central theme in the Black Society Trilogy. Kiriya, if I can compare him to an American icon, is a Dirty Harry figure, except not nearly as likable, ethical, or honorable as Clint Eastwood's iconic character. He is a dirty cop who breaks all the rules, and his only good trait is trying to keep his brother safe. Yoshihito seems destined for trouble though, and has found a career as a lawyer for the Dragon Claw Society led by the deadly Wang. Wang controls a human organ trafficking ring that operates from Tawain to Japan. Of course the Dragon Claw Society and the Triads are also in a turf war with the Yakuza, just to keep things bloody and interesting. Wang's interest seem to be principally violence and prostitutes (both male and female). The 'good guy' Kiriya, will stop at nothing to bring down the Dragon Claw leader Wang, including raping the gang leaders girlfriend (Airi Yanagi). Ironically, later she saves Kiriya's life when Kiriya almost becomes an involuntary organ donor himself. You just know from the white robes Wang seems to enjoy wearing, that by the films end, things won't be pretty. White is a great color to show red on, and Miike provides plenty of red. However, I found myself confused through many parts of the plot as to exactly what was going on, and who was working for whom and who was against who.

After the hitman leaves, the lawyer reawakens and gives Yuuji's son a speech, telling him if Yuuji's son wanted to seek revenge in the future, that he would be ready.

Cult Japanese director Takashi Miike draws inspiration from the popular Playstation 2 title Yakuza for this unhinged tale of underworld violence in Tokyo starring Goro Kishitani and Kazuki Kitamura. It's summertime in Tokyo, and as the temperature rises, two undercover cops stake out a high-profile bank robbery while complaining about the air conditioning. When the masked gunmen make their way into the vault only to find that the Tojo gang's ten-million-yen deposit has mysteriously vanished, an already complicated situation gradually starts to spiral out of control. Meanwhile, in another part of town, psychotic yakuza Goro Majima (Kishitani) strikes out on his own to pay a visit to rival gang leader Kazuma Kiryu (Kitamura) and track down the missing mother of adorable youngster Haruka (Natsuo). It seems that Haruka's mother has some valuable information, and Majima is determined to find her at any cost. Now, as Majima makes his way through the neon-lit streets of Tokyo, Satoru (Shun Shioya) and his girlfriend, Yui (Saeko), embark on a bold robbery spree, and South Korean hitman Park (Yoo Gong) prepares to locate and terminate the thieves who absconded with the Toho gang's money. Later, after Majima and Kiryu engage in a series of fights all across the city, a confrontation at the top of Tokyo's Millennium Tower finds the true criminal mastermind finally stepping out of the shadows.
