Classic seventies anime series Yatterman flies to the silver screen in a brilliant crime-fighting explosion of candy-coloured camp, over-the-top adventure, and pure popcorn entertainment. Directed by legendary cult director Takashi Miike (13 Assassins, Ichi The Killer, Audition) and featuring a brand new plot and re-imaged characters, this live action debut of Yatterman will re-define the robot action adventure genre. Gan, the only son of a toy shop owner, and his girlfriend Ai are just normal teens who like to tinker away with robotic inventions - that is, when they're not out keeping the world safe from evil! Together with their giant robot dog Yatterwoof, and their small incompetent robot Toybotty, Gan & Ai transform into crime-fighting duo Yatterman to fight for world peace. Waging battle against perennial nemesis, the Doronbo gang. Formed by sexy villainess Doronjo and her lackeys Boyacky, and Tonzra, the Doronbo trio will stop at nothing to recover the powerful wish-granting Skull Stone, but they'll have to get past Yatterman first!

When oddball auteur Kiyoshi Kurosawa received an eccentric offer to make two films in two weeks on a low budget and using the same cast the result was the cinematic equivalent of fraternal twins. Though both Eyes of the Spider and Serpent's Path are gangster films about the desire for revenge and both films feature a protagonist named Nijima played convincingly by Sho Aikawa the two films are completely different in tone and plot. Nonetheless they seem freakishly interlocked in ways that defy the conventionally linear relationship of a sequel as each of these enigmatic absorbing films elucidates and alters our understanding of the other. Eyes of the Spider concerns Nijima (Sho Aikawa) a white-collar worker who one day finds the man responsible for his young daughter's brutal rape and murder. He tortures and interrogates the man who maintains his innocence before killing and burying him. He returns to his ordinary life feeling listless and hollow until he meets an old high school friend who introduces him to his hapless band of hired killers. His skill in the assassination business catches the attention of a bigger crime boss. For reasons that remain opaque Nijima is assigned to investigate his friend which ultimately results in a bloody confrontation. Serpent's Path tells the tale of Miyashita (Teruyuki Kagawa); a former low level yakuza has tracked down his child's killer with help of his friend Nijima (Sho Aikawa) whom he met a year before. They've kidnapped a yakuza member believed responsible for the killing to take out revenge. But vengeance is neither simple nor easy. Another person is soon implicated in the child's death leading the pair farther down a path of revenge and violence. And what darker secret has led Nijima a lowly professor to help Miyashita in this affair.
