Overview
“I like shady dealings,” purrs undercover superspy Yabuki en route to infiltrating a sadistic, trigger-happy gang of international jewel thieves. Gone renegade from the shadowy espionage bureau that honed his killer instincts to a razor’s edge, the implacable Yabuki teams up with fellow mercenary crime fighter Yamawaki. Together, they follow a trail of stolen gems leading from the final days of WWII to a contemporary conspiracy that reaches into the highest corridors of corporate power and nefarious international villainy.

Viewing Notes
Crazy and convoluted and one of the greatest movies I’ve seen recently! Kind of a Bond style espionage with all sorts of other wackiness and double crossing thrown in from a time where men were men and women and dogs were expendable (and treated about the same).
Well worth a watch, though you might want to seek out the DVD since the version on Amazon Instant Video has some juddering issues during parts of it.
