Equal parts black humour and bloody dementia in this true crime portrait of a Japanese tropical fish dealer responsible for over forty murders. (imdb)

Kasumi Yuka heads the cast of this silly softcore film from Hisayasu Sato, the usually far more sober cult filmmaker known for grim depictions of alienation and sadism. Yuka plays a cranky harridan who uses her vibrator to administer questionably effective punishment to people who annoy her.

First in the long-running series starring Riki Takeuchi as Ginjirō Manda, a loan shark in Osaka's Minami district, who shows off his brilliant debt collector skills against numerous enemies.
