The Black Triad trilogy (a.k.a. Black Society Trilogy, Triad Society Trilogy) is a series of films directed by Takashi Miike involving triads and yakuza.
The films are three separate entities without storyline crossovers and were neither filmed nor released consecutively. Tomorowo Taguchi plays a prominent role in all three of the films, albeit as different characters.
Films:
Grady Hendrix (New York Sun), commented on the Trilogy, noting that "the three movies that make up his loosely related Black Society Trilogy are the work of a socially committed, ferociously intelligent director - albeit one who still takes time out from raging against the machine for raunchy sex jokes and blunt-force trauma." Jasper Sharp of the British Film Institute commented on the series, staing that mong Miike's gangster films, the trilogy was "widely seen as among [Miike's] best" with "Miike’s fast-paced cutting, acutely-developed and innovative mise-en-scène and hyperbolic approach to onscreen violence spring to the fore, although there is plenty more going on beneath the bombastic onscreen onslaught."
