Stray Dog: Kerberos Panzer Cops
1991 · Movie · 91 min. · Japan
To combat the rising crime rate, the Japanese Government created the Kerberos (Hellhounds) Police Force. Infused with a strong sense of justice, these "super cops" set out to tame the wild streets of the beleaguered country. In their pursuit of justice, the methods they employed were quite severe. After the beating death of a minor criminal, the Japanese Government ordered the unit disbanded. When the Kerberos refused to surrender, the Government branded them as outlaws, and rounded them up. The leader of the rebellion, Koichi Todome, was the only one to escape death or imprisonment. Inui, a former member of the Kerberos, has just been released from prison. He travels to China, to look for his former leader Todome. Blaming Todome for his imprisonment, Inui wants to find him and kill him. Hooking up with Mei, Todome's girlfriend, the two of begin a journey across China to learn of Todome's whereabouts. Inui is not the only one searching for Todome. The secret police of the Japanese government have sent assassins to eliminate the leader of the Kerebos riot. Time is running out for Todome and Inui. Who will find Todome first?
