Arano knows no fear. When questioned or threatened, his first response is to lash out with a knife. Before long, his natural viciousness is harnessed by some callow pimps against their Yakuza bosses, but Arano (who dreams of knives raining down from the sky) is more of a psychopath than any of them imagined.
Pornostar (a.k.a. Tokyo Rampage) is the directorial debut of Toshiaki Toyoda, who later would make the absolutely brilliant Blue Spring (2001) and also 9 Souls (2003). While not as good as those, Pornostar still is a cool film about a guy who really hates the yakuza and is looking for trouble everywhere he goes.
