Summary
As a boy, Riki Fudoh watches his father, yakuza boss Iwao Fudoh, behead his own elder son and hand the head to a rival clan to settle a score. Years later Riki is a high-school student quietly assembling a crew of teenage and even grade-school assassins, plus a stripper who kills with blowdarts, to take his father's organisation apart from underneath as a gang war reopens. The clan's succession struggle becomes a generational one, with veteran bosses unable to conceive that the killers picking them off are children. Takashi Miike's yakuza film, adapted from a manga, is a deliberately transgressive and extremely violent work.
Fudoh: The New Generation is a 1996 action, comedy and crime film. Its country of origin is listed as Japan. The runtime is 98 minutes. Its listed language is Japanese.
A second review pool sits behind it as well: 132 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. The cohort it is ranked inside is 1990s films — 4,082 of them. Only 29 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 30 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Fudoh: The New Generation lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 1990s (4,082 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 29.
