Overview:
With "Dead Or Alive" Takashi Miike created one of the most extreme and visually stunning films of his career. Now, with "Dead Or Alive 2", he pushes the boundaries further than ever before.

When Otamoko is hired to assassinate a ruthless gangster, he is surprised to find a mysterious gunman make the hit before he gets the chance to pull the trigger. Deciding to take the money for the job he failed to complete, Otamoko flees the city, with Japanese yakuza and the Chinese triads hot on his trail.

Hiding out on the island where he grew up, he runs into the man who killed his target: an old friend named Sawada. Together they plan to use their shooting skills to rid the Earth of evil and set out to hit the gang bosses and drug dealers who make the world a worse place.

This incredible film resurrects the central characters from "Dead Or Alive" and propels them into a vortex of sureal style and hard-hitting violence that will bend your mind and rock your senses.

IMO:
aiya, its not so much fun when both of them fight together and not against each other... like all miike films, this oso has some weird scenes like they growing angel wings on their backs... but the first dead or alive has much more weirder and stranger sights, and its so much fun too...
