kuchinashi no hana

> Do you have any informations about this movie ? :
> "Jingi no hakaba : kuchinashi no hana" (1976) / by Kinji Fukasaku.

This is one of Fukasaku's most famous films breaking up the yakuza 
genre. It is available on DVD in the USA under the title Graveyard of 
Honor. The proper date, however, is 1975 (it was released on February 
2), and I have not seen Japanese sources include the subtitle 
"kuchinashi no hana" for this film.

This is definitely a different film by the same director, released on 
30 October 1976. Japanese sources do include this subtitle. It is 
available in the UK on DVD as Yakuza Graveyard.
