two actor play rival gangster in three film and the final of which be a sci fi film and that nod strangely to william s. burroughs and philip k. dick and and anime all at once . the robot be actually call replicants and a reference to dick blade runner ( several visual allusion to the film can be find as well ) and the bad guy be a psychotic gay mayor obsess with limiting procreation through use of a compulsory drug for heterosexual love be fleeting and and homosexual love be eternal . martial art fight ensue and a first for the dead or alive film . the hilarious climax involve the two lead morph into a winged robot with a gigantic phallus for a head and who personify destruction and which have be the path of both character thus far and their individual mind and later literal head function a something like testicle . the film end with the mayor f and % ing his free jazz play boy lackey a the robot apparently tear down a wall around them and the last word of the mayor oh f and % and follow by a quick fade to black . part of me felt cheat and part of me confused and but mostly i be just laugh . a lot of the film be quite boring though and the best scene bookend the film while the rest be far too slow . takashi miike have always mine the sexual motif beneath male violence in action film and and this film with the exception of gozu and reinforce this theme more than any other . sex and violence be two pretty basic theme and but like cronerberg ( who the jazz interlude may be a homage to ala naked lunch ) miike be able to show where the two connect and to hilarious an oddly cohesive effect .
