Score (1995) (amazing Japanese Tarantino/Woo/Lam rip-off)
"The Nuclear Warhead of Japanese Action Cinema!"
Mad enough to send fans of 80's/90's B-action movies to heaven!
Score (Japan, 1995) [DVD] – 4/5
V-cinema gone big screen in a B-cinema classic. Atsushi Muroga’s action film shamelessly rips off Reservoir Dogs, throws in John Woo action, and mixes with nonsensical “cool” dialogue. The film lacks a single idea of its own, but it’s incredibly energetic and action packed with non-stop gunplay, explosions and car chases. The cast is a collection of V-cinema tough guys playing Tim Roth look-a-like, Anthony Wong –look-a-like, and a couple of Michael Madsens + and local Filipino stuntmen performing insane stunts. The film is set in Nevada, but the police are driving cars that have Manila’s logos on them!
Starring:
Anthony Wong
Tim Roth
Michael Madsen
Arnold Vosloo
and the man who never won Academy Award
featuring John Woo as quest action director
and dialogue written by Quentin Tarantino
+ Hitoshi Ozawa

Whatever happened to Atsushi Muroga anyway? The guy made some pretty entertaining B-movies in the late 90ies/early 00s. SCORE, JUNK and a couple of those GUN CRAZY films all entertained me. Sure, his films were never original but I thought he was able to infuse them with a lot of energy and he's certainly capeable of shooting a decent action scene.

I guess digital video is what happened. He's still doing films, though, he was inYubari this year (he contributed one episode to a film... can't remember the title, the trailer looked lame)
