Triple bill of Japanese crime dramas directed by Takashi Miike. In
'Shinjuku Triad Society' (1995), when the Dragon's Claw gang from
Taiwan attempts a take-over of the dope, extortion and prostitution
rackets run by the ruling Japanese Yakuza, a lone cop predicts
carnage. In a crusade against the gangs, the cop single-handedly
attempts to stem the growing tide of violence. But, when he
discovers that the cop's younger brother is in fact the lover of
one of the gang leaders, chaos ensues. 'Rainy Dog' (1997) follows
Yuuji (Shô Aikawa), a Japanese mobster holed up in Taipei working
as a hitman for a Triad boss. Added to this complicated existence
is the fact that his ex-wife has just dumped a young boy on his
doorstep. As Yuuji continues to do business as usual, only a final,
brutal shoot-out will bring him and the boy closer together.
Finally, in 'Ley Lines' (1999), three boys attracted by the
excitement of Tokyo city find themselves caught up in the notorious
Shinjuku district and a gangster lifestyle they can't escape.
Before long they find themselves on the wrong side of the local
crime lord and start fearing for their lives.
