Shark Skin Man and Peach Hip Girl [Blu-ray] [UK]

Release Date: 14/4/2025

In the mountainous countryside of Japan, petty thug Samehada (Tadanobu Asano) is on the run alongside an attractive hotel worker named Toshiko (Sie Kohinata). He’s being pursued by a band of hapless gangsters; she’s fleeing her perverted uncle. As a cat-and-mouse chase ensues, a mono-browed hit-man soon raises the stakes, and a deadly confrontation awaits at the end of a trail of bloody noses, soiled public toilets and stolen 1981 Corvette Stingrays.
