I'm not sure about the plot, but I will see it on Sunday so I will post a synopsis. Has anyone else seen this movie? all I know is that it is about Jiu Jutsu and zombies in Tokyo. There is a review on the Japan Times English Website, it's the last half of this article. Here is the link. http://www.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/getarticle.pl5?ff20051202a2.htm

Thanks for the link ronin. I'm going to have to wait for a Japanese DVD release sadly.

I just saw this for the first time and really enjoyed.

Sho and Asano are factory workers who enjoy practicing BJJ on company time. Tokyo has a massive dumping ground of anything and everything including humans and industrial waste zombies ensue. The whole vibe is similar to 'Shaun of the Dead' where behind the zombie scenes are themes of our overpopulated desensitized world and the bonds people form to fight against it.

The 2nd half of the movie gets quite interesting, as the aftermath of the inevitable zombie holocaust is explored as well.
