story-driven gore is under-appreciated.
HOOK: members from a diamond heist gone wrong six years ago gather for a celebration dinner where sushi is served on the body of a naked woman.
LINE: presumably one would watch this based on the premise alone (what do you mean it's sushi served on a naked woman?!). ten seconds in and my mind's been taken over by the lush visuals and crazy performances.

On the occasion of Fish's release from prison, Duke organizes a gathering of his former colleagues for a dinner at a Japanese restaurant. Sushi is on the menu, including the delicacy fugu (pufferfish). Prepared by a chef (Sonny Chiba) in a very special way, the sushi has...
