Takashi Miike's masterfully crazy yakuza trilogy given gorgeous restorations to enjoy in the best quality, with perfectly matching special features. Dead or Alive starts of crazy and only goes further into the depravity of the criminal underworld, building up to the greatest ending in cinema history, and it is not a contest! Dead or Alive 2: Birds gets just as surreal as it’s predecessor but it has much more of an emotional foundation to keep the weird & violent story together. Dead or Alive: Final is the slowest & most melancholy of the trilogy, yet still keeps the usual crazy violence. it's as if 'Blade Runner' was made post-Matrix... and by the wonderfully twisted mind of Takashi Miike.
