Friday Video: Bosozoku Crackdown!


Why are we so fascinated with the bosozoku lifestyle? Is it the outrageous rides, the demented hoonage, or the don’t-give-a-crap attitude? Here’s someone who is not fascinated: the police. In this footage from 1993, the Japanese constabulary put up an all-night roadblock to crack down on bosozoku antics, likely picking up every Toyota Soarer west of Narita.

    Hey, that’s a familiar video! I posted it almost a year ago on Bosozoku Style:

    The Yamanashi police really has a hard time with the persistence of those bosozoku! Also funny to see how both parties are preparing for the big confrontation. 😉

    Funny how the cops, and the boso’s are driving the same cars in the same manner, and yet they hat each other so much! Reminds me of the Civil War………

    Did that AE86 at the end have bullet holes in it?
