Has anyone seen this Japanese movie? The title is "Teito monogatari", English title is Doomed Megalopolis. Last night I saw this movie on rental video. Actually, I've never seen it before. But when I saw it, I was surprised. It was made in 1988. Also Black Wind was published in 1988. I don't know why, but I thought this movie is very similar to Black Wind. Genres are war+horror+sci-fi+action+occult.
I think it's coincidence, but if you have opportunity, check this movie, and compare them. It's excellent movie. You'll like it.
