5th OKINAWA INTERNATIONAL MOVIE FESTIVAL

A former mercenary, Joe was trying to help a married woman, Lisa, who was suffering from domestic violence by her husband. But Joe killed him by accident. After completing his six-year term in the jail, he found out Lisa was still having a difficult time with the debt left by her husband. He gets together with her lazy brother Brian and becomes involved in betting on street-fights to make money so he can pay off the debt for her...

Kozo Takeda, a former kickboxer who became famous worldwide with his nick name "Superalloy Muscles", plays the leading role in a film for the first time. The film shooting was done in The Philippines, and the hot and stoic world of "Han" with the mixture of dynamic action and less-than-subtle humor creates an unfolding  human drama.

Kozo Takeda's reticent and quiet presence, as well as his physical actions, have created the feeling of Samurai which skillfully matches the taste of classic westerns, and creates a new figure as a hero in film. The portrayal of suffering from the old wounds should deeply move Takeda fans.

Characters are also played by local Filipino actors in appealing supporting roles. As the unique Macaroni Western-like music symbolizes, you may notice the unique and humorous naming of the director Arty Morgan and the producer Kazu DeNiro. What are their true identities? Everything will be unveiled at this film festival...!
