The Miracle of Joe Petrel (Japanese: 海燕ジョーの奇跡, Hepburn: Umitsubame Jō no kiseki), also known as The Miracle of Umitsubame Joe, The Miracle of Joe, the Petrel and The Stormy Petrel, is a 1984 Japanese film co-written and directed by Toshiya Fujita.[1] It is based on the novel of the same name by Ryūzō Saki, originally published in 1980. Saki's novel was inspired by the actions of the Kyokuryū-kai yakuza clan during the "Fourth Okinawan War."

Joe Petrel is a half-Filipino, half-Okinawan gangster who escapes to the Philippines after killing a mob boss. The film chronicles his misadventures with underworld characters, the police and a saloon girl named Yōko.[2][3]
