09.05.05DVD I guess this is the root of the tree that's branched into House of Bamboo, Point Break, and The Fast and the Furious, interchanging a seedy gang of thieves with Tokyo, surfing, and street racing. Unless of course this is a remake as well... perhaps the guys on the commentary will tell me if it is or not. The movie itself is pretty decent... it's got an early Richard Widmark performance that's not nearly as seething and putrid as he is in Kiss of Death, but he's still pretty convincing when he beats up his old lady. Gotta love Widmark.
