Shark Skin Man and Peach Hip Girl (鮫肌男と桃尻女 Samehada Otoko to Momojiri Onna?) is a 1999 Japanese film directed by Katsuhito Ishii and starring Tadanobu Asano. It is based on a manga of the same name by Minetaro Mochizuki which was originally serialized in Mister Magazine circa 1993 under the title "Daisharin" (Big Wheel). The current title was adopted when the comic was published as its own book.
[edit] Story
Distracted by the sight of a handsome, nearly naked man sprinting across a winding mountain road, Toshiko (Shie Kohinata) inadvertently interrupts a mob execution by crashing her car into a limo full of eccentric assassins. Fresh from a frenzied menage a trois (threesome), Belmondo-cool Samehada (Tadanobu Asano) seduces Toshiko into a life or death race with an army of mob killers joined by a moon-walking, love struck amateur hit-man dispatched by Toshiko's depraved uncle.
