How it feels

This is the third film in a series that follows two rival gangsters. They must work together to fight a common enemy in a futuristic city. Much of the dialogue switches between Japanese and Cantonese.

What happens

Dead or Alive: Final is a 2002 Japanese cyberpunk science fiction film directed by Takashi Miike. It is the third in a three-part series, preceded by Dead or Alive in 1999 and Dead or Alive 2: Birds in 2000. The films are not connected in any apparent way except by director Takashi Miike and stars Riki Takeuchi and Show Aikawa. Besides Japanese, much of the dialogue in the film is in Cantonese and some is in English. Often, two people will talk to each other using different languages. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
