Rarely we see Japanese pictures have been swayed by Westerns cinema, due they would rather its own style, nonetheless sometimes someone dares broke such guideline as the filmmaker Takashi Nomura enforcing a spaghetti guidance regarding on farfetched narrative and soundtrack as well, it became a hybrid picture on Yakusa's mobster allied an Italian's accent, the final results is plenty enjoyable for Japanese taste and Western marketplace.
When a hitman (Joe Shishido) and his faithful sidekick (Jerry Fujio) were hired to kill a powerful and untouchable Yakusa's chief a hard task to be accomplished, although the smooth killer did it in plenty way, then came up an unflagging chase carried out by the own mastermind by a sudden new deal prearranged by the successors of the late boss, wherever Shishido goes there are their captors in advance, aid by a jinxed woman (Chitose Kobayashi) they envisage an escape by sea.
Meanwhile a truce is settle a so awaited showdown in a forsaken spot, then show up the spaghetti duel in whimsical Italian standard, to make it strong the own title has Western influence, worthwhile a look for every cinephile turned on Yakusa-crime genre, highly recommended!!
