Threats of lawsuits? Yes. As well as the most quoted and copied blueprint for yellow indie cinema. Here ye, this is not extreme Asia cinema. This is American Asian, not Asian American. This was made in the good ol' US of A... The TERMINAL USA that is. We're talking bloodied cheerleaders, pastel beehives, and punk speed dealers... We're talking subversion, sex tapes, and latex bikinied alien chicks... And don't forget, nazi skinheads, evil twins, and of course, burning crosses baby. ...and it was paid for by you and your tax dollars. MORITSUGU IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE TIMELESS. Welcome to HISTORY....
