Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Minami series spans 20+ films since 1992, adapting Tsukasa Shiba's manga about Osaka's underground economy. This 2012 revival shifted toward Korean-Japanese tensions rarely addressed in mainstream J-cinema.
Director Kazumasa Nemoto shot this in 8 days with largely non-union crew, explaining the 74-minute runtime and handheld urgency that critics called 'accidentally documentary-like.'
