3	'''''Outrage''''' or アウトレイジ is a 2010 Japanese [[{{Yakuza}} Yakuza-film]] by Creator/TakeshiKitano. It is the story about Otomo (Takeshi) and his gang and how they are screwed over by his boss, heading the Ikemoto-gumi, and his boss' boss, the Kaicho (chief of the Kanto region). All begins with Otomo's boss ordering him to bring the Murase-gumi, an opposing gang whose boss is the [[SwornBrothers blood brothers]] of Ikemoto, back in line. What seems an easy job spirals out of control and ends in violence, bloodshed and death.

6	!!''Outrage'' provides examples of the following tropes:
7
8	* BottomlessMagazines: Averted when Otomo uses his M1911, he fires seven shots and the the slide locks back as it is empty.
9	* CorruptCop: Detective Kataoka
10	* DiplomaticImpunity: Otomo and his gang use an embassy to house an illegal casino.
11	* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:Kato, the Kaicho's liutenant, finally tires of his abuse and mockery and kills him at the end.]]
12	%%* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:Kato]]
13	* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:To a certain extent, since Otomo's gang is completely wiped out.]]
14	* EvilVersusEvil: It's Yakuza vs. Yakuza and some dirty cops thrown in; what do you expect?
15	* {{Fingore}}: Thrice, once with a boxcutter, once with a cleaver, and once with a Wakizashi.
16	* EverybodysDeadDave: [[spoiler: Otomo's entire gang is killed, as is his girlfriend.]]
17	* ForTheEvulz: The motivation for the acts of the Kaicho are never completely explained (although he tells Kato that his plan is to take direct control of Murase and Ikemoto's territories); this is one possibility.
18	* {{Gorn}}: Some scenes can border on this.
19	* GoryDiscretionShot: Used and averted, especially in the dentist scene.
20	* GratuitousEnglish: Used in several instances between the ambassador and some of the Yakuza. Justified because he is a foreigner and not all of the Yakuza speak the language.
21	* GrievousBottleyHarm: A [[{{Mook}} Yakuza henchman]] wants to attack another with a bottle, but is held back by his friends.
22	* HonorBeforeReason: Averted, the Yakuza talk of honor and being loyal to pacts, sword brothers, sworn fathers, etc. But in practice almost every one of them is willing to betray everyone else to either advance their own position or destroy potential rivals.
23	* ImprobableAimingSkills: Averted, everybody is shot from a close distance. And in the one where somebody is running away,the shooter misses from about 15-20 m away.
24	* IronicEcho: "you know you’re dealing with the yakuza, right?"
25	* ManipulativeBastard: The Kaicho, in spades. And for reasons that are somewhat unclear (see ForTheEvulz above). [[spoiler: He gets out-manipulated by Kato.]]
26	* NoWomansLand: All women in the film are backrgound characters that have few if any speaking lines. Justified since Yakuza gangs are traditionally very misogynist, with women not allowed in the organization.
27	* ThePlan: The Kaicho seems to be playing one. But so are Ikemoto and [[spoiler:Kato, who takes the place of the Kaicho in the end]].
28	* PlayboyBunny: One appears in the illegal casino.
29	* RunningBothSides: Kaicho offers [[spoiler:Ikemoto's]] former position to [[spoiler:Kato, Ozawa, and Otomo]] pitting them against each other.
30	* ShoutOut: To ''Film/TheGodfather'' and how he kept the corrupt senator in line.
31	* SwornBrothers: Ikemoto and Murase had a sworn brotherhood in prison. Too bad Ikemoto doesn't value it.
