boss Chinese Ryuichi (Riki Takeuchi) wants to take control of organized crime in the district of Shinjuku . Inevitably clash with the local yakuza boss and, equally inevitably, will be forced to deal with the detective Jojima (Sho Aikawa).
"Dead Or Alive: Hanzaisha" is the first film in the trilogy called DOA, created by Miike with the intent to engage in one project, two cult actors like Riki Takeuchi and Sho Aikawa. The films of this trilogy, in fact, have no connection with each other except the presence of the two star Japanese.
The first four minutes of the film are just fantastic, shot like an absurd and iperviolento video clips, which are shown in the murders of some of the yakuza boss, characterized by the pounding rhythm of Koji Endo. However, despite the presence of some scenes very successful (the girl in the pool surrounded by rubber filled with excrement: the recurring theme of "shit" in the films of Miike), the film tends to stop in the middle, until you arrive at a crescendo of absurdity, beyond belief (and now famous ) final.
A final scene, however, can seem incomprehensible and out of place only when you are faced with the films of Miike for the first Once, seeing a similar device is also used in another of his film, "Deadly Outlaw: Rekka" always Riki Takeuchi. I personally agree with those who have proposed a metaphorical and literal reading of the entire sequence: the respective worlds of the two protagonists are swept away (literally), after the two have mutually destroyed their lives and their families.
The trilogy is completed with "Dead Or Alive 2: Birds" and "Dead Or Alive: Final".
"Opening scenes "to" Dead or Alive: Hanzaisha, comparable only to another famous opening sequence, Miike always signed. One of the most sweeping in the history of cinema (not only Japanese): Riki Takeuchi, Yuya Uchida and the music the album Satori Flower Travellin 'Band, in a perfect combination of pictures and music.
