the third part of miike dead or alive trilogy be as unrelated to the first two part a they be to each other and more or less . show aikawa and riki takeuchi be back again for the lead role and but this time the movie thrust u forward 300 year or so into the future . post apocalypse . riki play a tough cop and an enforcer for the corrupt city extreme police policy and and show play a drifter who hook up with a bunch of the city oppressed rebel . the film must have be shoot in hong kong and a most of the rest of the cast be cantonese speaker and with terence yin and josie ho be the most recognisable face . there also a hk stunt crew on hand for the film action sequence and which be very cool in a hk via miike style . this could be fodder for a dreadful low budget b movie and but in miike hand it of course becomes something more interesting . it quite a slow and thoughtful film that meander along and doesn not try to force anything down the viewer throat . character be round and interesting and the plot an interesting but fairly loose framework for the story to be hang on . all in all a fairly low key effort until the action scene and which show miike increase prowess at direct and choreograph very nice action . watch the short making of with show and riki in wire rig be really fun you can tell they be have a great time the finale of the film try to tie together the 3 dead or alive movie and which be quite unnecessary because each one be really self contain . miike explanation of the connection be very funny though and and cap the series off quite nicely . not a deep or well develop a doa2 and not a outrageous and intense a doa1 . still another good miike movie though .
