From the Arrow Video press release:
On February 10, the battle between Japanese gangsters and the Italian Mafia explodes as American Yakuza makes its North American debut on Blu-ray. The Limited Edition release includes a 2K restoration from the original camera negative by Toei Pictures, hours of special features, and newly commissioned extras.
After being released from prison, Nick Davis (Viggo Mortensen, The Lord of the Rings) takes a job in a warehouse. When mobsters attack the facility, Nick saves the life of one of his co-workers, Shuji Sawamoto (Ryo Ishibashi, The Grudge), who turns out to be a member of the Japanese crime family who owns the warehouse, earning Nick a major promotion. No longer driving a forklift, Nick now defends the organization against Mafia forces led by Dino Campanella (Michael Nouri, Yellowstone). Nick becomes even closer to his new Japanese family when he meets Sawamoto’s goddaughter Yuko (Anzu Lawson, Best of the Best 3: No Turning Back). Their growing relationship complicates matters, as Nick harbors a dangerous secret about where his true loyalties lie. This international crime thriller also features Robert Forster (Jackie Brown), Franklyn Ajaye (Car Wash), Yuji Okumoto (Cobra Kai), Nicky Katt (Dazed and Confused), John Fujioka (American Ninja), and James Taenaka (Showdown in Little Tokyo).
Special features include a High Definition (1080p) Blu-ray presentation; the original lossless stereo audio; optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing; a brand new audio commentary with director Frank Cappello and actor Anzu Lawson; newly filmed interviews with director Frank Cappello and actor Ryo Ishibashi; an archival interview with actor Viggo Mortensen; the original trailer; image gallery; and a collectors’ booklet.
