A rogue fighter
named Yoshito Mikage is captured by the Okinawa Mafia and forced to compete
in an underground fight club for privileged, wealthy sadists who enjoy
watching (and betting on) death-matches in mixed Martial Arts. Yoshita
is drugged, caged and tortured - released only to engage in the next extreme
battle. An old girlfriend from the Asahira Dojo goes looking for him.
She discovers his new identity (as the Karate Kid) and agrees to fight
for the Mob in exchange for Yoshito's release, providing - of course -
that she wins the Female Championship. Obviously, the Boss Shin and his
Mafia gang don't plan to play by the rules.
Today, Takashi
Miike is one of the most successful filmmakers in the world, certainly
the most prolific. Often, his 1995 film, SHINJUKU
TRIAD SOCIETY, is credited as being his first project. But this
is far from the truth. While Miike's early films are much more elusive,
they do exist. Here is one of them. From 1992, this is a long-lost, cheap
and trashy fight movie, crass exploitation in the purest sense. A celebration for Miike fans everywhere!
