[SLO]

Kamiura ni ravno običajen šef zločinske združbe jakuz: je prijazen možak, naklonjen prebivalcem svoje skupnosti, ki velikodušno podaljšuje rok za odplačilo dolgov majhnim poslovnežem, da bi tako odvrnil velike korporacije. A ko v mesto prispe vročekrvni revolveraš v španski opravi iz 17. stoletja, se razkrije, da je Kamiura v resnici vampir. Njegov mladi varovanec Kagayama je navdušen nad sposobnostmi svojega mentorja in na ulice se poda v spremstvu nove tolpe običajnih prebivalcev, opremljenih z ostrimi podočniki ter pripravljenih braniti svoje ozemlje.

Razvpiti japonski scenarist in režiser Takashi Miike ("13 Assasins") se k svojim koreninam filmskega ekstremizma vrača z bizarnim celovečercem, polnim vampirjev, japonskih mafijcev, vulkanov, pošasti, borilnih veščin in čudaškega kroga pripadnikov jakuz. (Sporedi.tv)

[ENG]

In the ruthless underground world of the yakuza, no one is more legendary than boss Kamiura. Rumored to be invincible, the truth is he is a vampire-a bloodsucking yakuza vampire boss! Among Kamiura's gang is Kageyama, his most loyal underling. However, the others in the gang view Kageyama with disdain and ridicule him for his inability to get tattooed due to sensitive skin. One day, assassins aware of boss Kamiura's secret arrive from abroad and deliver him an ultimatum: Return to the international syndicate he left years ago, or die. Kamiura refuses and, during a fierce battle with anime-otaku martial-arts expert Kyoken, is torn limb from limb. With his dying breath, Kamiura bites Kageyama, passing on his vampire powers to the unsuspecting yakuza. As he begins to awaken to his newfound abilities, Kageyama's desire to avenge the murder of boss Kamiura sets him on a course for a violent confrontation with Kaeru-kun, the foreign syndicate's mysterious and seemingly unstoppable leader!

*********************

Japanese genre auteur Takeshi Miike has directed some pretty bizarre films in his prolific career, but his latest, the comedy gangster vampire movie Yakuza Apocalypse, has got to be his most barking mad work to date: it makes Zebraman look like a documentary. A martial arts enforcer in a giant green frog suit and a mafia knitting circle are just two of the more kooky pleasures of this increasingly unhinged romp, which mixes surreal humour with loud, bone-crushing fight sequences.
