The Way to Fight
1996 · Movie · 114 min. · Japan
One of cult director Takashi Miike's earliest films, The Way to Fight features the violence and anime-influenced plots and tone that Miike has become famous for. Kazuyoshi Tamai is a dangerous street fighter seeking out the perpetrators of a series of assaults. He discovers that Takeshi, a student at a rival high school and an excellent fighter in his own right, is the leader of the gang of assaulters. Kazuyoshi is determined to challenge Takeshi one on one, but his ambition for a final battle is constantly and comically thwarted. Many years later, Kazuyoshi has become a championship boxer, while Takeshi is Japan's best professional wrestler.
