Miscellaneous

At a instance of release it wwhen hyped as Kitano Takeshi's vehicle for 'breaking into' a United States market. a film was a critical flop & did ill at the pack professional, apparently relegating Kitano to the little U.S. foreign film market. It has a trademark Kitano twitches of face, wit, sudden bursts of violence. (& as well a few pinky-chopping & seppuku.)
