SegaShiro: Pure SEGA HARDCORE! The Sega Saturn Archive / Sega Dreamcast / Sega Archive

I doubt that this "Yakuza" movie will be talked about...

SEGA of America has sponsored a film event at Viz Cinema in San Francisco to promote Yakuza 3 as well as educate eager movie fans and game fans on the celluloid genre of Japanese Gangstar films.

Tickets to the TokyoScope: The Wild & Crazy World of Japanese Cult Films are $10 and the event kicks off on Friday, March 5th in which “TokyoScope, Vol.1 Yakuza Night Fever begins at 6:00pm with a reception and discussion to be hosted by Patrick Macias, Editor-in-Chief of Otaku USA, a leading national magazine on anime and Asian pop culture.”

The event will feature:

• Live Sneak Preview and highlights of Yakuza 3
• A chance to score free copies of the game
• Macias’ 1-hour long lectures featuring clips from Brutal Tales of Chivalry, Battles Without Honor and Humanity, Dead or Alive, and Like a Dragon

Sounds like a fun and informative night. I’m sure the SEGA Blogs will detail the event soon enough but you can check out the Anime News Network for more information.
