The underbelly of Japanese society just sagged a little lower in this action-thriller that rockets from one violent gang fight to another, splashing blood and guts and body parts across the screen like an electric mixer gone mad. The plot can no more be pieced back together as any of the victims in the battles between rival gangs -- almost too numerous to count. The night clubs in the Kita district of Osaka are under contention -- and are ultimately controlled by the Ryujin-kai, working out of Kobe, a famous port city, and not controlled by the Hokushin Domei, which run the district but are subordinate to the Ryujin-kai. That is simple, considering that the Hokushin Domei also have a Somezaki branch whose head is Jo Kosho, and their enemies are the Piisu-kai, including some previously Hopu-kai gang members, and the Piisu-kai are ready to take on the Hokushin Domei, which by this time, has changed its name to Umeda-kai, also known as Gaki Teikoku. One can hardly wait for the sequel -- unless it is already buried in there, somewhere.
