ICHI THE KILLER
Welcome to a world where violence is a virtue and depravity is a way of life. This is the underside of Shinjuku and the home of Kakihara, a sadistic yakuza killer. He relentlessly tears apart the underworld searching for the man who killed his boss. The mastermind behind this plot is Jiji, an ex-cop bent on turning the gangsters of Japan against each other. His trump card is a physically powerful lunatic who is constantly on the verge of snapping. This madman is Ichi the Killer and between him and Kakihara, the streets will run red with blood.

DEAD OR ALIVE
A prostitute plunges to her death cluthing a bag of drugs, a furtive men's room tryst climaxes in a geyser of blood, an after-dinner shotgun blast puts a new spin on bulimia, a stripper writhes, a mysterious knife thrower takes aim and a gangster snorts a line of white powder stretching into infinity... and that's merely the first ten minutes. From Takashi Miike (Audition, Ichi the Killer), "one of the most versatile directors working today" (NY Post), comes a film of such kaleidoscopic mayhem and frenzied violence that defies hyperbole. Burlequing and surpassing every other full-bore, double-barreled Asian crime thriller, Dead or Alive conjures up a harrowing urban fever-dream where "the images are so astonishing, you'll feel inhaled by them" (SF Examiner). In Tokyo's crime ridden Shinjuku district, emotionally and financially bankrupt Detective Jojima (Show Aikawa) plays a referee in a gangland turf war pitting the Japanese Yakuza mafia against a bloodthirsty band of Chinese immigrant gangsters. But Jojima's obligation to his terminally ill daughter and ruthless Chinese mobster Ryuichi's (Riki Takeuchi) sentimental devotion to his ersatz family of misfit assassins threatens to add their own corpses to the landslide of fresh bodies littering Tokyo. Miike depicts Dead or Alive's gruesome acts of excess and debasement with shockingly graphic relish, allowing his vision to escalate beyond even a cartoonish level of audacity
