AMG DIRTY DOZEN 11/08/18: All-Action Edition With Multiple Martial Arts And A Stack Of Yakuza Papers

The first AMG Dirty Dozen for the month of November is devoted entirely to action. Outside of one Umberto Lenzi poliziotteschi with the great Tomas Milian, it places a focus on films with a Far East bent. There's a Chuck Norris vehicle set in Hong Kong, a classic Shaw Brothers basher with the team of Ti Lung and David Chiang and, best of all, a whole stack of Kinji Fukasaku's Japanese gangster flicks, including reviews for all five films in the beloved Yakuza Papers series.Note: since these capsule reviews have been penned, Schlockmania has published a full-length review for the wild Bohachi Bushido - just click on its title below to read that piece.ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON (a.k.a.
