Young And Dangerous is the best Asian gangster movies but if you don't understand Chinese you gotta watch it in sub-titles but the whole series is fucking dope.

They're all by the same Takeshi. Takeshi Kitano. For some reason he uses a whole bunch of aliases but they all have Takeshi in them. He's made some pretty badass movies. His older movies are awesome. He knows a LOT about Yakuza.

For real??? I though Miike was a different dude. You know he started out a comedian right? and that twitch he got in his face now is from when he went head first through the windshield in a accident.

You're right. My bad. I know Takeshi Kitano uses a bunch of aliases so I just assumed they were the same guy. You know the show MXC? It's originally called Takeshi's Castle, and guess who's the host.

Showdown in Little Tokyo is an Asian gang film. Rush Hour 2 has got triads in it!? lol

Bloodsport is an underground criminal fighting film set in Hong Kong. It all depends on how you tolerate Jean Claude Van Damn though.

Enter the Dragon?

'Everbody Loves Sunshine' has got Chinese Snakehead gangs in it having a turf war with the local black gangs.

hope this helps

Jet Li might have some too.

Young and Dangerous series, about Chinese Triads in Hong Kong. Probably best series of Asian gangster movies in my opinion.

If you are into Triad movies, watch Young And Dangerous. There were also many other low profile titles such as Family Honor and etc... These mostly potray the Triads. If you look for movies that were produced by Charles Heung, who is also a famous Triad member from Sun yee on, some of his movie have that big potraying on how Triads really are.

There is plenty of triad and yakuza movies.

I want to see asian street gangster movies, but not crappy ones.. L.A. style gangsters, not Rush Hour like bull crap!
