Red Peony Gambler 8 Execution Of Duty 1972 Written by Kôji Takada, directed by Buichi Saitô.
Oryu visits Osaka to pay respect to a dying lady boss. The old lady divides her empire between two sons and that doesn't go down well with the more punk ass bitch one. He betrays the family for a yakuza headman who the other brother once slashed in the face. A war breaks out and the baddies get wiped out in a big ass fight at the end of the film.
Sadly there are no more in the series. I found this as entertaining as the previous 7 and would be glad to see them again. The whole set is on the Rarelust blog.
