TAKASHI MIIKES DEAD OR ALIVE 2 DVD (MR)

From the ashes of Dead or Alive's apocalyptic ending comes Dead or Alive 2, both a continuation of the series and a standalone film on par with its predecessor. Serving up shockingly graphic violence, sincere character nuance, engaging humor, and transcendent magical realism with equal mastery, Dead or Alive 2 offers definitive evidence of why the New York Post hailed director Takashi Miike as "one of the most exciting, versatile directors working today."
