Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe swords used by Miho (Devon Aoki) in this movie are the same ones used by some of the Crazy 88 in Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003). That movie's director, Quentin Tarantino, had been keeping them in the back of his garage.
- GoofsWhen Nancy is dancing, she is alternately wearing/not wearing gloves between shots.
- Crazy creditsIn the opening credits, each of the actor's names is shown with a frame from the comic, featuring their character.
- Alternate versionsDecember 2005 DVD reissue included an extended, reedited version of the film. The four story lines were separated into individual short films, with about seven minutes of additional footage added, marketed as approximately 25, but about thirteen of those minutes are credits added to each story and five come from marketing exaggeration.

Featured review
A very dark (lol) action noir drama...
I watched the 'Unrated, Recut and Extended' version of the movie, which is pretty different from the theatrical version of the film (which I've also watched). It's really a 'superhero movie' like those DC/Marvel movies in disguise... these people have super powers, but it isn't explicitly stated. The movie was also breathed-upon by Quentin Tarantino and it totally shows... this is a very 'Quentin Tarantino-esque' movie. It's filled with action, though there's a good amount of drama and story/plot mixed in so that you don't get numb to the bombardment of constant action. Each of the characters are heavily unique yet extremely stereotypically portrayed (for good reason). Overall it's a good film and eventhough this type of movie will only appeal to a small percentage of general audiences, I would recommend that you watch it at least once if you're not certain, as it is really a pretty good movie, especially given the unique artistic choice with the dark art style.
