About

Plot

Kabuki Kid and HAYATA meet up with a couple of shady individuals standing on an Osaka street corner in the Ame-Village ("America Village") district, next to a yellow brightly lit vending machine. Kabuki Kid (not HAYATA) greets them with a fist bump, and a mysterious package is produced (which apparently makes a crumpling noise according to Kabuki Kid). Money is furtively exchanged in the manner of drug dealers, and Kabuki Kid and HAYATA continue on their way. 

They walk along the street, Kabuki Kid waving the mysterious package around as he talks, and HAYATA smoking, when they come across a gang of thugs (Kengo, Tadasuke who has a table, Shoichi Uchida, Kazuaki Mihara and Gunso, who thinks that his tattoos won't be noticed  if he hides under his cap). Kabuki Kid goes quiet, and then throws his head in a grimacing motion, like he had been expecting them. For extra sinister effect, Tadasuke and Uchida are wearing sunglasses, at night.

Kengo threatens them, and Kabuki Kid and HAYATA run off, chased by the gang of thugs. Kabuki Kid is felled by a chair that Kengo hits him with, and then gets into a tug of war over the mysterious package. Tadasuke then lifts Kabuki Kid into a powerbomb, and drives him through the table. As everyone stands around celebrating, HAYATA breaks free from Kazuaki Mihara, grabs the mysterious package, and runs off with Gunso (yeah, we know its you), Kengo, Mihara and Tadasuke. Further fighting follows with HAYATA making use of his urban fighting skills. He runs, jumps a barrier, and then finds himself surrounded. He manages to fight them off, and grabs a random ladder which is by a nearby tree, and throws it at them managing to knock everyone to the floor. HAYATA climbs the ladder (which is being held by someone), and somersaults on them. He then looks at them, takes the mysterious package out of his jacket, nods and then heads off into the night. 

Gunso is singing to himself and fixing a skateboard, when HAYATA strolls in, cigarette in mouth. At first Gunso thinks he has bad news, but no, it's all good. HAYATA produces the mysterious package from his jacket, and hands it to Gunso. Gunso opens it excitedly (after checking that HAYATA is okay), and it turns out to be a VHS tape called "Dove Puroresu", which he sniffs before putting into the VHS player. The video that plays is a promo for Dove.

Did you notice? 

~ Kabuki Kid has a finger injury.

~ HAYATA avoiding all physical contact with the VHS dealers 

~ Kengo drinks beer before threatening Kabuki Kid & HAYATA

~ If you look when the chase scene starts, Tadasuke can be seen for a split second running with the table over his head. 

~ If you watch the background after Kabuki Kid is hit with the chair, you will notice HAYATA walk over to Gunso, stop, look down at him and then wait to get grabbed by Mihara which sets up the next scene. 

~ Everyone except Shoichi Uchida winds up in the final fight scene. He vanishes just before Tadasuke puts Kabuki Kid through a table. 

~ By the time Tadasuke puts Kabuki Kid through a table, he has lost his sunglasses. 

~ HAYATA really catches Tadasuke when he kicks him round the head.

~ The neon yellow glimpses of HAYATA'S boxer shorts 

~ The skateboard that Gunso is fixing has an image of "Our Lady of Guadalupe" on it

~ It's 2016. Why isn't it a DVD? Why does Gunso STILL have a VHS player? 

~ How no one passing by at all in this crazy town, takes any notice of a group of guys running around the city, fighting. 

~ It never actually ever says that this is "Dove The Movie" on the opening credits.
