Heat After Dark poster

Overview

Heat After Dark is director Ryuhei Kitamura's first theatrical release. This 50 minute film is predominantly a character study within an intense action drama. Those familiar with Kitamura's later works, perhaps especially Versus will realize this is the beginning of his characetristic modus operandi. Here, the well defined characters consist of the innocent (the cop), the relatively good (Atsuro Watabe), the relatively bad (Shinichi Suzuki), and the absolutely bad (Shigeru Izumiya ), and a few other Yakuza hoodlums thrown in for entertainment.

00:00:20 Hi.
00:01:02 Yeah.
00:01:40 Wow, grade schools are sure high-tech. Interesting...
00:02:29 Wait a minute. What the hell are you suggesting? Why do I have to help you do THAT??
00:04:03 This isn't good...
00:05:02 No, no one will come.
00:06:14 Hey!
00:07:16 What's wrong? Do you have something in there you shouldn't have?
00:08:05 But wow... I can hardly even imagine it, youngsters these days. It would take me 150 years before I could afford a car like this one.
00:09:42 Well, I don't really mind it, but my wife seems lonely. Well, I guess she would be lonely. .
00:13:06 What?
00:14:01 We were doing business... and this is where we would always meet.
00:15:10 Thank God. Let's talk to him.
00:16:33 If we kill him, we'll be saved.
00:18:35 Listen...
00:20:47 It's Goto... That Bastard...
00:25:07 No. This gun was acting funny.
00:27:51 Your organization is already onto you. Killing them won't solve anything.
00:29:15 Sorry about all this.
00:30:40 Oh yeah, did you see Ko-chan?
00:32:05 It's fixed...
00:35:59 He'll be here right away.
00:37:33 I don't need advice from the likes of you!
00:42:09 He's armored. Looks like we haven't made a dent in him.
