The small Japanese town of Tsushon is being dominated and terrorized by the gangster Tojo (Shingo Tsurumi), until the female bounty hunter Saki (Ryoko Yonekura) arrives in town to do a little more than just cash in on a reward.
Solid Direct to DVD action film that has more than a little fun with Spaghetti Western clichés and the traditions of Girls with Guns flicks. The acting is mostly serviceable, Ryoko Yonekura a believable heroine and director Atsushi Muroga does solid work (especially by filming the action sequences in a way that lets us actually see what's going on).
With a running time of just 66 minutes, the film doesn't overstay its welcome.
While it certainly won't change any lives, Gun Crazy is a nice little film.

This is on my list of things to watch soon; I didn't realize it was that short, but it sounds like it fits the bill otherwise.
We seem to watch a lot of the same stuff.
I was glad it was so short, seemed just right for the plot.
Yeah, we really seem to do. Certainly a sign of good taste on both our sides. Or, as someone once asked me: "Do you watch normal films, too?". ;)
Heh, I have certainly been asked that same question. I'll take bizarre of boring, most days. ;)
I obviously agree. :)
