Summary: The grand final
Review: Well Dead or alive 3 is the final chapter of the 3 movies long series. Now we are in some distant future land where an evil governor force people not to reproduce under his strict rule.
Riki Takeuchi the head of police department special group works for governor and lives with beautiful wife and kid. When he hears that his kid is captured by the rebels, he is set to find his son.Later issues makes it cear that everything is not actually what they seem to be. Sho aikawa at the other hand is a replicant who joins rebels to help them the overthrow the governor. But things do not go according to plan all the time and so the plot since it is a miike work .Place is like a city not too far away from Hong Kong and cantonese will be heard through out the film.
Movie is a direct take on to the blade runner. From the way takeuchi dresses to the sax player mistress of governer, miike once again manages to create such hilarious atmosphere.
Fight sequences, especially between takeuchi and aikawa is excellent as well as ironic. Among the other films of the Death or alive saga, this may seem a bit weaker since it is not a yakuza movie , rather a sci fi movie or better, its absurd parody.
But that doesnot mean it is bad, it is very strange, very controversial and very very odd. Ending is once again out of this world. So this movie is much more different than the first two but nevertheless deserves to be watched. After all, its a miike film.
