The City of Lost Souls 2002

The story follows the Brazilian-Japanese criminal, Mario, as he orchestrates a bold helicopter heist to rescue his Chinese girlfriend, Kei. Their plans take a dangerous turn when they decide to rob a cockfight but inadvertently make off with a stash of drugs purchased by the yakuza’s Fushimi from a Chinese triad boss named Ko. Fushimi is soon compelled to murder Ko and take control of his operations, aided by his loyal soldier, Yamazaki.

In a twist of fate, Mario and Kei sell the drugs to a Brazilian TV broadcaster. However, their ambitions are soon thwarted when they discover that a bounty of a million yen has been placed on their heads. Determined to evade capture, they fly to Okinawa and plan to escape to Australia armed with counterfeit passports, only to be pulled back into chaos when Fushimi kidnaps Mario’s former lover’s blind foster daughter, Carla.

The plot thickens as Kei is captured by Riku and taken to Ko, who harbors long-standing feelings for her. In a confrontational showdown, Fushimi and Yamazaki arrive, leading to an intense challenge between Ko and Fushimi in a ping-pong match. The tension escalates as Ko reveals a hidden weapon, launching a spinning blade at Fushimi, who narrowly dodges it. Amid the fray, Yamazaki takes the opportunity to assassinate Ko. As Fushimi and Yamazaki seize Kei, Mario swoops in to reclaim Carla from the Okayama Group’s clutches and ultimately confronts and eliminates Fushimi before rescuing Kei.

Their escape plan to Taiwan hits a deadly snag when Carla tracks them down and shoots them with a rifle. The narrative concludes with a poignant video montage during the credits, revealing that Yamazaki and Riku have found love in the aftermath of the chaos.
