The worlds of martial arts, the Yakuza, and horror are set to collide as Twitch has scored the first look at Takashi Miike’s latest guaranteed to kick ass flick, Yakuza Apocalypse: The Great War of the Underworld, starring Raid star Yayan Ruhian.

Do you even need any more reasons to put this on your “most anticipated” list?

Scripted by Yoshitaka Yamaguchi, the flick also stars Hayato Ichihara (All About Lily Chou-Chou).

Synopsis
Akira (Hayato Ichihara) admires Genyo Kamiura, who is the most powerful Yakuza. Genyo Kamiura has been targeted numerous times but has never died. He is called the invincible person.

Because of Genyo Kamiura, Akira enters the world of the Yakuza. His colleagues treat him like an idiot; Akira can’t even get tattoos because of his sensitive skin. Akira becomes disappointed in the Yakuza world because it’s not like what they say in the movies, especially in terms of loyalty and charity depicted of the Yakuza.

An assassin is then sent to take out Genyo Kamiura, whom the killers know is a vampire.
