Kazushi Nakadaira's <i>Yakuza-Busting Girls: Final Death-Ride Battle</i> is as deranged as it sounds.<p>For a low budget overblown gory movie, there is some pretty good emphasis on the story. That isn't to say that it is first-class, because it isn't, but the effort is there. Some scenes are also overly drawn out and that contributes to a run time just under an hour and a half, when this easily could be much shorter.</p><p>The violence is over the top, exaggerated, and all over the place. The action isn't out of this world, but there are some good segments from time to time, especially in the final act.</p><p>There isn't much to the acting and this is unsurprising. The characters are eccentric and many are overacted. Asami has the persona and body for a yakuza hunter, so she is acceptable as the lead character.

The rest of the cast is forgettable or annoying.</p><p>Despite the wacky nature, <i>Yakuza-Busting Girls: Final Death-Ride Battle</i> isn't all it's cracked up to be. "Let's play the finger cutting game."</p>
