Nick Conklin is a New York City police officer facing possible criminal charges; Internal Affairs believes Nick was involved with his partner who was caught taking criminal money in a corruption scandal. Nick is divorced from his wife, who has custody of their two children. Nick also has financial difficulties
At a restaurant, Nick and his partner Charlie Vincent observe two Japanese men meet with Mafia gangsters Nick's suspicions are validated when another Japanese man enters the restaurant, seizes a small package at gunpoint, kills two people, and leaves Nick and Charlie chase and arrest the suspect after he nearly kills Nick The suspect, a Yakuza gangster named Sato, is to be extradited to Osaka and given to the police there Though angered Sato will not be prosecuted in the US, Nick agrees to escort him Nick’s captain believes it will keep Nick from causing more trouble and exacerbating the already biased Internal Affairs investigation
When they arrive in Osaka, they surrender Sato to the Japanese police, only to be told that they were duped by impostors Nick convinces the Osaka police to allow them to observe the investigation, though their weapons are confiscated They are assigned to Masahiro Matsumoto Nick behaves rudely and offends Matsumoto, while Charlie attempts to be more polite Nick also makes contact with an American nightclub hostess, Joyce, who explains that Nick and Charlie represent American inefficiency and stupidity to the Japanese Through her, Nick discovers Sato is fighting a gang war with a notorious crime boss, Sugai, and traveled to New York to disrupt Sugai's counterfeiting scheme
Nick joins a police raid without permission and takes a few $100 bills from the crime scene The next day, Matsumoto explains they have dishonored themselves, him, and the police force by his theft, which has been reported in America; Nick calls him a snitch and demonstrates the money is counterfeit by burning one of the bills At night, Nick and Charlie walk back to their hotel drunk and unescorted, despite warnings about their safety In an apparent prank, a young motorcyclist steals Charlie's coat and leads him to an underground parking garage Separated from Charlie, Nick watches in horror as Sato and several others briefly torture and kill him Joyce comforts the distraught Nick at her apartment Later, Matsumoto hands him Charlie's service pistol
As Matsumoto and Nick trail one of Sato's operatives, Nick admits he stole money in New York The operative retrieves a sample counterfeit note, which she passes to a gangster Nick and Matsumoto tail him to a steel foundry, where they find Sato is meeting Sugai, and the package from New York is a printing plate for American $100 bills Nick confronts Sato, who escapes when swarming police arrest Nick for waving a gun in public Though deported, Nick sneaks off the plane to pursue Sato on his own, as Matsumoto has been suspended and demoted Joyce helps him meet Sugai, who explains that making counterfeit US currency is his revenge for the black rain, or nuclear fallout, after the bombing of Hiroshima in World War II Nick suggests a deal where Sugai can use Nick to retrieve the stolen plate from Sato, leaving Sugai's reputation and hands clean
Sugai drops Nick at a remote farm with a shotgun Matsumoto arrives, and they deduce Sato plans a massacre During a meeting with Sugai, Sato cuts off one of his fingers in atonement, stabs Sugai, and escapes with the plates, prompting a gunfight between Sugai's and Sato's men Sato escapes the fight on a dirt bike, Nick pursues, and the two fight briefly Nick gains the advantage and, having Sato at his mercy, has the choice of whether or not to kill Sato for Charlie and all the humiliation he has suffered Matsumoto and Nick walk a handcuffed Sato into police headquarters to the amazement of everyone and later receive commendations, which Nick accepts gratefully Before boarding his flight home, Nick thanks Matsumoto for his assistance and friendship, and gives him a dress shirt in a gift box Underneath it

2024 who's here with me?
Found the movie again after 25yrs. Masterpiece.
I am❤
This is the greatest song ever created... so yes. Here in 2024
Listen to this one all the time
Here song gets listened to every 7 days
One of Ridley Scott's best movies. God I miss the 80s.
Yes.
My mother passed away the same day as Gregg Allman,the day before after we had dinner together we talked about this movie. Big fans of Michael Douglas,Andy Garcia and Ken Takakura,she asked if I remembered the name of the song at the end. I did so we listened to it. That's my last memory of my mother
Glad you have the memories. Godspeed brother. I had to reach out to you. Your comments touched me.. R.I.P to your mama and My Hero Greg
Sorry for your loss. This is one hell of a last song to listen to together. God bless.
That's so sad and beautiful at the same time. My dad recommended me this movie, i loved it. He died from covid couple months later
Such a precious memory and powerful.
She died for a good cause then !!!
It’s 2024 and maybe I think I was born in the wrong time and generation.. thank god for the 80s and 90s!!!
This is one of the rare films in which music, cinematography, and story come together perfectly.
that's Ridley Scott in a nutshell mate
@@AMC2283 0⁰
@Adam Ridley Scott in a nutshell but still pure joy to watch
What about rocky!
One of the greatest ever
I know how it is to wear out the night. I'm 70 -- with more road behind me than in front of me. Part of a five man crew back in the day, I'm the last man standing. The rest are gone. Once you've buried all your friends and you're still holding on... you'll still be reaching for the light....
I'm standing with you brother.
I'll stand with you uncle 🤙🏻
That’s a lot of history right there. Hold on.
beautiful my brother. Hope you’re still holding on tight the same way these days man ❤️
This is 2021. Tomorrow I'll be 43. And still I am here searching for my memories. Masterpiece movie, great song...
Keep on holding on brother!
Same here bro, i will keep searching for those memories every single day .. hey gidi gunler hey...
Happy birthday brother.. bit delayed …I’m 1977…I know the feeling I here you ..🙏
@@zeea320 haha thank you bro. we r getting old but we r still solid. peace bro.
Used to watch this movie a lot with my father when I was young, miss those days. Still think about it even though he is gone now. Even now I still love the 80's and 90's movies.
In 1 hour I will be 40. Today is 15 march 2024. And what i AM gonna tell you looking at the shit today: first, 80s snd 90s WERE AWESOME! Films, music, etc. Second, We are just people, not Americans, Russians, Italians.... We are just people, we are brothers and sisters. And I am sending my love to all of you❤
True. We are only people. We want to live together in peace.
Поздравляю бро..
Здоровья тебе и благополучия !!! ✌️
I cannot express my gratitude enough for having lived through the 80’s and saw this movie when it was new.
Always loved this movie and soundtrack
I fell the same way. Nothing will ever compare to the 80s again...
Same here
Great film
Yes that was when there where 'real' girls and men, the Beto millenniums have no idea what they missed all they get is the last 10 minutes of the concert and an Extra number before the BIG light comes on'
Black Rain is one of my favorite movies. It came out in 1989 which was one of the best years of my life. I was 24 and living life to the fullest. Now I'm 56 and so tired. It's too bad we can't stay young forever...
Why are you so tired?
@@LordMalice6d9 because he has lived life his way. For tonight and for today.
I have the same age and I am still strong 💪
but prolly you are wiser...so you have gained a lot
I'd like to think I'm wiser. I have so much more life experience now. I'm a grandfather and my grandchildren inspire me. Thank you for your kind and uplifting words. ❤@@pulse4503
I saw this movie in January 1990, one of the best movie endings I've ever seen, inspiring and a life lesson, you can always leave mistakes behind and be able to become a better man, a jewel of the seventh art
❤️🙏🏽
So true!!
So true! A great ending for sure! It really moves you. And "I'll Be Holding On" is the perfect song for it. Perfect song placement. Love this classic movie!
Well said
Love the Blade runner-ish look of Osaka, Scott knows how to charm
This is the perfect anthem for any man. Who’s went through so much shit but still tough and badass at end . Michael Douglas’s character in the movie is an example of a man who went through so much shit in life,made so many mistakes, loss a lot things but still had his cool toughness and will to do what’s right and carry hold. I can totally relate to that . Like the rest of you. Let’s keep holding on,gentlemen.
Maybe the most badass song ever made. I could listen to it endlessly. Black Rain itself too, is a masterpiece, a 80s classic.
I like it, but it's not highly rated amongst Ridley Scott's works, but I've always liked it.
R.I.P. Ken Takakura!
Didn't realise he had passed on. 1931 Wikipedia says he was born so put him at 58 in black rain! Crazy he looked nowhere near 58 in that film. Liked him in Mr Baseball
...and in Yakuza, with Robert Mitchum 💪@@JC-ej1zy
I am 51 years old. I am loving this movie from 33 years ago!
Song gets more meaningful as you get older . WS
Can we take the time to appreciate how GREAT the Black Rain soundtrack was
My dad passed away in 2022
My grandma just passed today
Black rain was the first movie me and my dad watched when i found him after 18 years
This song will always and keep me sane
Ill always be holding on….
I have lived my life my way
For tonight and for today
It's the strongest hearts they say
That always survive
I'm fallin through the years
As each dream it disappears
When the night is full of tears
I'll be holdin on
Now this life is etched in black
But I won't be lookin back
The rain washed out the tracks
I'll never find again
I'm still reachin for the light
I'm still wearin out the night
And you know I'll be alright
I'll be holdin on
When I stand alone
I don't stand on memories
Of all the ones you've known
I'll be holdin on
I know how it is
I know how it will be
(When) All the rest are gone
I'll be holdin on
Well my life is made of sand
It flows right through my hand
Each day I make a stand
And I'll see it through
I'll be reachin for the light
I'll be wearin out the night
And you know I'll be alright
I'll be holdin on
When I stand alone
I don't stand on memories
Of all the ones you've known
I'll be holdin on
I know how it is
I know how it will be
(When) All the
rest are gone
I'll be holdin on
I know how it is
I know how it will be
(When) All the rest are gone
I'll be holdin on
I know how it is
I know how it will be
(When) All the rest are gone
I'll be holdin on
Thank you
For real. Good work.
Thanks a lot 😍
GREAT RIFFS and Greater WORDS! This should be my Pledge of allegiance!
Michael Douglas representing a lot of guys out there. Divorced guys, guys that found themselves in a strange place, etc. Give them a headbutt and tell them you just wanted to talk. Don't let those dreams disappear
Back then movies and their soumdtracks were all exceptional!
My favorite Michael Douglas movie and this song made me sit through the credits in the theater..
One of the best ballads ever.
And a very good movie!!
A great way to top off the 80's in film.
What a time to be alive!! Sure, the decade had its issues, but it also gave us great memories. iMiss you 80s!!
The ending of this movie makes me wanna cry every single time. The look on Masahiro's face when he looks at Conklin because of the plates says it all
Seen this Movie August 1989 ....at the movies ......have it on DVD ...... Sato Koji Legendary Bad Guy ....
Nick-San!
It just screams redemption 😌
Just finished watching it for the 3rd time. Had to get this song. Both great.
yes, i agree, Nick regained his lost honor, and the japanese cop realizing that, one of the best endings of all time
I was stationed in Okinawa Japan 91, 92. This was a very popular movie to rent on base.
I've seen Black Rain 8 times. Fantastic flick. The ballad could have only be sung by Greg Allman. It grabs your soul and walks you down your personal life's path. I well up when I hear it. Bitter Sweet.
Same, Work of art
only 8? Rookie numbers!
The soundtrack and overall cinematography/aesthetics of the film is off the charts.
No rookie numbers here, bro. 8 times in the MOVIES!! And many many times on Blu Ray. Never get bored of it.
LOVED THE MOVIE AND SONG. BEST MOVIE MICHAEL DOUGLAS DID.
I agree a brilliant film.
Awesome film. The song..... a colossal track... passion and power 💪🏻
Amazing track. The words are even more powerful due to who’s delivering them. Gregg and the Allmans are rock ‘n roll.
Andy, Michael and of course Ken san. All at their peak. Wonderful movie and soundtrack.
The one and only "Gregg Allman " wish he was still with us😍
This makes me tear up thinking about my wife and how I have to hold on to her memory and keep going at the same time. Life is beautiful and tragic at the same time
That's exactly what it is. Heaven and hell. Beautiful and tragic
Brother I lost a wife too know that she is in peace with the Lord and this song gives us the strength to move on after healing
❤️🙏🏽
As a Navy Seal. I've seen tragedy and the beauty of being trained to succeed, I believe we are all out here to make our mark I've made mine and Jessica Buchanan ( on You Tube ) has said the same . I'm ready to move on .
Greg Allman is the voice of my life. See you soon my friend ❤
All time classic 💯 childhood memories 🙏🏾
They don't make them like this anymore. Awesome storyline 🙌🏿✅
The best police action film that has ever been released in the world.
Long live Michael Douglas and Andy Garcia!
This song got me to watch black rain, and i loved it, damn good movie.
In 1989 watching "Lock Up" with Sly Stallone at the cinema they played the trailer for "Black Rain" with Greg Allman's music in the background and I told myself I have to see it!!, I will never forget how beautiful the actress Kate Capshaw is and the enormous performance by Michael Douglas, how I would like to see Black Rain 2, come on Michael you can do it!!! happy 2024!! 🏍️
This song has been stuck in my head for 5 years and I never could figure out what it was. I heard it originally on the movie. I FINALLY FOUND IT 🙌 🙏
This flick is in my top 5 all time. Love the music, the story arch, Andy and Michael’s performance. The gritty ness of it.
I just love the vibe of this movie, everything actually! What a LEGENDARY decade!
One of the best films ever. And this song is a belter!
Music and movies from the 80’s they don’t make them like they used to! Lyrics with meaning and movies that captured imagination! Hans zimmer is the very definition of a composer. He sets the tone and makes the movie the complete package. True genius
This is the definition of a beautiful movie - one in which you can get truly lost in the story.
Just watched this great movie again it brings back great memories of my childhood and this song never gets old!
Sato Koji ...still is the baddest bad guy ever movie had it all Bikes Girls ....... Japan ..
Great movie remember the day I saw it in a packed theater
Great track and very good movie!!!
Gregg Allman + Hans Zimmer = Magic!!!
That famous growl. RIP Gregg.
Wore myself out trying to sing like him so many times! Lol impossible
Black Rain! Kid to grown man still the best. Period
Simply AWESOME movie and soundtrack, especially this GREAT song by the great, great Gregg Allman! In my eyes, this is one of his best songs ever, especially when you correlate it with the final scene in this great movie! (Black Rain starring M. Douglas). EVERYONE must see this movie, if haven't yet, it's just simply that good! I think I've seen it like 4 or 5 times.
I need to rewatch this Ridley Scott masterpiece.
@@eugenesubramony9997 a masterpiece, indeed! 👍
I met greg once when he came to visit a patient where I worked many years ago 80's.He was an awesome man and singer!
Met him once outside in NYC,really lovely gentle warm man.
Black Rain é um dos últimos excelentes filmes policial da década de 80 que eu tive a felicidade de ver no cinema. Dirigido pelo brilhante Ridley Scott e com atuações inesquecíveis de Michael Douglas, Andy Garcia, Ken Takakura e Yusaku Matsuda.
Com uma trilha sonora poderosa um final simplesmente espetacular...Um brinde a Honra, a Amizade e a Justiça !!!
Gregg Allmann was the greatest Blues Singer of all time, fantastic song in a terrific movie.
one of the great vocal soundtracks and a great movie too
Im 19 so i cant share the same memories as all of you guys, but when i was younger me and my papaw would show me amazing movies and songs like this, i miss him so much
Beautifully made, great movie and even greater song. Greg Allman Rest In Peace.
Gregg sounds absolutely amazing. Perfect for this song!
If ever a film was defined by its soundtrack.. Good movie, but the soundtrack takes it further. Superb song which fit perfectly.
Ken Takakura played such a bad ass bad guy didn’t realize he was dying when he did it 😎❤️
He died on November 10th 2014 and Black Rain was released on September 22nd 1989. He clearly wasn't dying when he did it.
@@berniejones5093 Yusako Matsuda (Sato) was dying!
@@michaelamittermeier2336 too bad @mconrin80 didn't say "Yusako Matsuda (Sato)" in his comment that I replied to.
This is by far one of the best movie ever released!
Douglas and Co.....Gregg.....pop rock.......so eighties......
Kiss from switzerland !
FANTASTIC SONG 💖💞💖 GREAT MOVIE 👏👏👏👏👏👏 BEAUTIFUL VOICE 👌👌👌
I just watched this movie again it's one of my favourites and underrated IMO.
Greatest Voice to every grace a Mic!!! RIP Gregory N. Allman!!!!
I just shared some tears here...
Me too
Same. No shame in it whatsoever
I watch black rain quarterly. Along with other greats, it keeps my chest hair and hairline from receding.
Same, essential viewing

Kickass movie. Never get tired of watching it. Incredible soundtrack by Hans Zimmer who always impresses.
The cast was outstanding.
Dripping with 80s nostalgia
Great song, great movie. Ridley Scott, even very recently, professed his love for this movie and called it one of his best offerings. It was panned by critics, but I've loved this movie since I saw it in theaters. I watch it every few months and have turned people on to it who didn't catch it on account of the bad reviews
It's not a bad film at all - the soundtrack alone is an all-time masterpiece - but even as a fan I have to admit it's cliched.
Do you have a link to where Ridley Scott said this, please? I'm interested in reading this.
@@MH-jc3uj can't find the article, but similar sentiments were conveyed by Scott on the Wikipedia page for the movie under "reception". He calls it "Fucking Great"
@@SalemGhassanHanna great Greg Allman song bookends the movie.
@@robertosorrentino7084 Thanks for your reply, friend.
Just finished watching this movie for the first time on prime. Had to look up this song
Still holding on and it’s 2023
Gem of a song and movie. Truly a diamond in the rough.
still recall it after 34 years....
OMG!! For those of you who don't understand or truly appreciate the absolute brilliance of Jeff Porcaro listen the feel of this song and especially the drum fill at the end at 5:26. Then realize this was what he did daily as his job. Coming up with creative fills like that over and over again.
I had no idea Jeff (RIP) played on this track. His drums sound amazing. 👍
Gregg Allman from Allman Brothers Band...😭😭😭
Rip brother!!!
Some songs that are soundtracks are so moving. This is one of them. Timeless. Greg's best. Reach that light Greg. Love you.
The Movie, Song and Singer one of a kind. Perfect match, (POWERFUL)!
Gregg has an awesome voice!!!!
Really have to go back and watch this movie 30 yrs since I seen it.wow the world was a different place back then.
Certainly was man
Great movie ! Saw it when it first came out . Great song that rings more true the older you get . A classic .
Movie , Sound Track ....Sato Koji ....Legendary ..... Lucky to seen this August 1989 at the Movies ....
Awesome movie, awesome unforgettable song.
Great song. Black Rain goes under the radar a bit when it comes to best movies of the 80s, its right up there.
Watched this movie tonight, the intro song in the beginning caught my ear. I thought it was Joey Cerisano singing with that raspy voice of his, but was pleasantly surprised it was Gregg Allman. Great tune.
Will love Greg's music forever!!!!!
I love this movie, its an Underrated classic and in my opinion is the best Michael Douglas performance on film. That coupled with the sumptuous photography of a Neo Tokyo and a electrifying score by Hans Zimmer.
Most of actual Japan locations were Osaka-shi.
2023, My older brother just past away few days ago. Many years ago he show me Black Rain movie on one of us first VHS. Golden memories
Absolutely love this movie watched it so many times and this song is brilliant
After recently again watching this masterpiece this song hit like a sledgehammer
The beginning of this film brought me here👍
All the ones I've known brought me here.
Oh yeah!@@berniejones5093
I was listening to this last year going through treatment, when I started feeling more myself I felt this song is my victory song. I'm still reachin for the light
I'm still wearin out the night
And you know I'll be alright
I'll be holdin on
A lyric can give you hope if you listen hard enough. Great song and film
I am here with you I am still listening to this song in May 2024 it is 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯❤️
I saw the movie when it came out. Since then I own the dvd, the vinyl and the cd. Still a classic one for the dispute between Japan and USA
LOVE IT!
Great Gregg listened this song 1 million time..everytime shake for the power and the deep voice and lirics..
My favorite Gregg Allman song and movie. I condsider this Gregg's ultimate song. This is his 'My Way' (Frank Sinatra's signature tune). He lived life his way and this one rings true with me so much.
Fantastic song. Greg Alman lays on the master touch. Great film!
Great movie and powerful music, all japanese spirit in this movie that i really like since i was child.
This is one of them incredible hits that goes under thr radar.What a song and movie! gives me chills this singer with his Joe Cocker-esk voice.Douglas also amazing actor.
I will never be tired of listening this great song
