A debt collector with a heart of gold versus a femme fatale with spreadsheets. Who said finance isn't sexy?
#7 in the King of Minami series, following "Tactical Debt." Manda tries to save his business from a money-lending hostess club run by yakuza from Tokyo and a beautiful woman with a grudge.
Acting
Riki Takeuchi's permanent scowl deserves its own credit line.
Production
Osaka's Minami district captured in all its fluorescent desperation.
Writing
Somehow makes loan sharking feel like a noble profession.
Director
Sadaaki Haginiwa
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The King of Minami series ran 21 films from 1992-2015, making it one of Japan's longest-running V-cinema franchises — direct-to-video pulp that outsold many theatrical releases.
Takako Miki was cast partly for her resemblance to classic Nikkatsu Roman Porno stars, a deliberate visual callback for older viewers.
