The Yakuza
I recall first watching this film and thinking before hand that it sounded like an update of The Yakuza (1974), but I heard no mention of it. But then while watching it so obviously was a remake I even knew which characters were going to live and which were going to die and it even had Ken Takakura reprising his very similar role. There were obvious plot differences but essentially this was the same film to anyone with a little movie knowledge. So why so few if any acknowledgements to the older film?
