DVD release - Versus [Ultimate Edition] (Tokyo Shock) available on March 27, 2007

Ultimate Versus trumps all previous DVD releases of Ryuhei Kitamura's classic action flick that featured the fanboy trifecta -- samurai, zombies, and yakuza.

Plot: Prisoner KSC2-303 (Tak Sakaguchi) breaks out of prison with his cell mate to meet up with some Yakuza at a nearby forest only to discover they've taken some girl hostage at the request of their boss who has not yet arrived.
