Continuity mistake: After the car crash, when Ryuuichi gets out of the car, when the shot changes, his coat is opened more and in a different position than the previous shot. Now the sides are curled rather than straight.
Dead or Alive (1999)
1 continuity mistake
Directed by: Takashi Miike
Starring: Riki Takeuchi, Sho Aikawa, Hitoshi Ozawa, Renji Ishibashi
Revealing mistake: When the man accidentally coats his hand in breading and cooks it in the boiling oil, you can tell his hand has not been damaged at all. The breading on the outside is just a little cooked, but his skin underneath seems perfect.
Detective Jojima: My father was a small-village cop in a town where nothing ever happened. He just hung around like a scarecrow, until he died. But like they say - even a scarecrow keeps away the sparrows.
Trivia: There are two versions of the DVD available in the US, an R-Rated edition and the uncut original edition. One funny thing about the cut R-rated edition is that in the opening montage scene, despite the footage of the homosexual gangster raping the busboy having been taken out, you can still hear the audio and sound effects overlapping the other shots in the scene.
