Note : We've done some Japanese cyberpunk before, and if you start looking at where that particular subgenre started, a lot of things point back to this movie, which is so unique it's hard to describe. Imagine a fictionalized documentary about the early-80s Japanese punk scene, mixed with the hyperkinetic experimental visuals of Tetsuo, in a postapocalyptic dystopian setting with Mad Max cars and Akira-style motorcycle gangs, cyborg cops, and something like Repo Man's attitude, and you might get close. I had some trouble deciding on screenshots for this, because everything looks a million times cooler in motion (a lot of motion) than it does in stills, so just trust me, if any of what I mentioned above interests you, you need to see this.
In a dystopian future Tokyo, a group of punks split their days between trying to prevent the construction of a new nuclear power plant, and having fun racing cars, partying, and going to punk concerts. At the same time, a mute man and a group of bikers are looking for the mute's brother's murderer. It turns out the nuclear power plant owner is the murderer, and the two groups join forces to fight the capitalists, the cyborg police, and the yakuza.
It's honestly hard to say if this is a good remaster or not, but I think it preserves a fair amount of the very harsh grain, has good contrast and color, and doesn't have many compression artifacts, so I think it does the job. As you can see, my bitrate is quite high, out of sheer necessity. Stereo track is as punchy as it should be, commentary track quite interesting.

HeVK torrents always have lots of keywords. Try searching for “ hevk japanese cyberpunk” for more hectic grimy futurism from Japan, “ hevk dystopia” for more societies that ain't so great, or “ hevk 80s” for more from the decade when punks fought capitalism.
