About Hooligans on Buggies

On screen, a fierce feud erupts between a street gang and a powerful crime syndicate. The film follows rival factions as they clash over territory, money, and control, drawing in a network of enforcers, informants, and temporary alliances. In a city of neon and grit, a young enforcer finds himself torn between loyalty to his crew and the lure of the tougher gang's code. As betrayals mount and plans unfold, the line between protector and predator blur. Violence escalates into a dangerous game where each move could trigger a broader crackdown or a deadly counterstrike. The tension hinges on power, honor, and the cost of staying alive.

Directed by Makoto Naito, this Japanese crime drama draws on the authorship of Eimei Yamamoto and Isao Matsumoto. The film came out in 1970, reflecting gritty street realism of its era.

Critics consistently note the film's raw portrayal of urban violence and the collision of rival loyalties. The story centers on how power and survival strain friendships, while the code of street life tests both restraint and ruthlessness.
