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.

Second sequel to Takashi Miike's ultra-violent 1999 film 'Dead or Alive', set in a post-apocalyptic Yokohama where the population is kept under rigid control by a half crazed mayor. Takeshi Honda (Riki Takeuchi), a hard-boiled cop, and Ryô (Sho Aikawa), a mellow drifter, hook up with a gang of rebels. When the gang kidnap Takeshii's son, the wheels are set in motion for the inevitable outrageously bloody showdown.

Three short films directed by Asian horror's most controversial directors. Fruit Chan directs a forty-minute cut of his earlier film 'Dumplings', with newly shot footage. 'Box' is directed by Takashi Miike, and follows a romantic novelist who is haunted by a childhood trauma. Finally, 'Cut' is directed by Chan-Wook Park, and follows a disgruntled film extra who forces an affable director to prove that he has a nasty streak of his own.
