"I’ve only watched Violent Cop so far but it’s a bizarre movie. As I think about the film more and more, I can imagine it sticking with me. Haunting me. The vibe is so peculiar that I can’t point to another film that resembles it. And the character's insistent drive of immorality in the face of injustice is compelling to watch."
"Wow, I blind bought these 2 flicks and Violent Cop blew me and my mates away! Absolutely riveting and gritty, and unlike anything I've seen - it's Dirty Harry but different!. Will watch Boiling Point next week but for Violent Cop alone this is worth a buy! Great PQ as well. Would have loved a few more extras!"
"Boiling Point has some kinda weird spontaneous hump seshes. . . you don't wanna miss. Peoples reactions or lack there of to gunfire is hilariously deadpan. The ending certainly reaches its boiling point, loved that ending. In Violent Cop "Everyones gone crazy" indeed I concur, yuuuup. Solid cop on edge movie early on then that ending is just bonkers cutthroat as hell especially what happens to his sister. Chick on boardwalk had a bad night for too for sure. Fantastic!"
"Great two films from Kitano, love the artwork on the slipcover but unfortunately was not able to get it, wish i got it earlier!"
"An excellent pair of Takeshi Kitano films. Great Japanese action. Great video and audio quality."
"Two of my fav Kitano films in a great package with cool art."
"First, The limited edition slipcover by (Poochamin) is worth the price one pays for these two early films by Japanese comedian, actor, and filmmaker ( Takeshi Kitano - 北野 武 ). Part neo-noir action thriller, part crime drama & part Japanese "Dirty Harry" , there is enough action and fire in both movies to keep the viewer interested. The restoration and audio / picture quality of both movies are Excellent. Not much of Extras in this release, but there is a great Booklet included."
"Absolutely loved both of these movies. Takeshi Kitano really was just a master from his first film. Phenomenal release, highly recommended"
"I’ve been wanting to see this Japanese crime flicks for some time now, so to get them together with a gorgeous looking slipcover was a no brainer. Definitely better artwork than the previous single release which were awful! The disc isn’t stacked with extras, but that’s there is decent, but the real bonus is the two films for the price of on. Solid release!"
"Who doesn't love Kitano, and you get 2 for the price of 1"
