- Synopsis:
- The debut film of Katsuhito Ishii, who would go on to make such cult classics as 'Party 7', 'Funky Forest: The First Contact' and the award-winning 'Taste of Tea'. In the mountainous countryside of Japan, petty thug Samehada (Tadanobu Asano) is on the run alongside an attractive hotel worker named Toshiko (Sie Kohinata). He's being pursued by a band of hapless gangsters; she's fleeing her perverted uncle. As a cat-and-mouse chase ensues, a mono-browed hit-man soon raises the stakes, and a deadly confrontation awaits at the end of a trail of bloody noses, soiled public toilets and stolen 1981 Corvette Stingrays.
