God Speed You! Black Emperor (ゴッド・スピード・ユー! BLACK EMPEROR) is a 1976 Japanese black-and-white 16 mm documentary film, 91 minutes long, by director Mitsuo Yanagimachi, which follows the exploits of a Japanese biker gang, the Black Emperors. The 1970's Japan saw the rise of biker gangs, known as bōsōzoku, and drew interest by the media. The movie follows a member of the bike gang and how he interacts with his parents after getting in trouble with the police.
The movie is almost exclusively known as the inspiration for the name of Canadian orchestral post-rock band Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
