One day, however, things change in the town when an English-speaking priest (Ryushin Tei) and martial artist "Mad Dog" Kyoken (Yayan Ruihan) show up in town demanding Kamiura return to a syndicate he had apparently left. Kamiura refuses and engages Mad Dog in a battle, which Mad Dog wins and finishes by [[OffWithHisHead ripping Kamiura's head off]]. In his final moments, Kamiura's severed head bites Kageyama, passing his vampirism on to the enforcer.

''Yakuza Apocalypse'' is an ActionHorror movie by Creator/TakeshiMiike.

Genyo Kamiura (Lily Franky) is a {{Yakuza}} boss who's been protecting the people of his neighbourhood for a long time with the help of his enforcers, including one Akira Kageyama (Hayato Ichihara). This has earned him much admiration from the locals. What no one knows, however, is that Kamiura is secretly a vampire who's also been feeding on the very people he has been protecting. He doesn't attack his underlings, however... because vampires don't like Yakuza blood.

One day, however, things change in the town when an English-speaking priest (Ryushin Tei) and martial artist "Mad Dog" Kyoken (Yayan Ruihan) show up in town demanding Kamiura return to a syndicate he had apparently left. Kamiura refuses and engages Mad Dog in a battle, which Mad Dog wins and finishes by [[OffWithYourHead ripping Kamiura's head off]]. In his final moments, Kamiura's severed head bites Kageyama, passing his vampirism on to the enforcer.

From there, events begin to transpire that'll change everything in the town.

The film debuted at the Cannes Film Festival on May 21st, 2015.
