Pornostar (1998)

In the neon-lit labyrinth of Tokyo, a psychopathic drifter by the name of Arano emerges from the shadows, his bag brimming with lethal blades, his mind set on a bloody crusade against the Yakuza. He unassumingly infiltrates the ranks of small-time gangster Kamijo, a man burdened with the task of eliminating the formidable gangster Matsunaga, despite his lack of a killer's instinct. As Arano executes two American drug peddlers, Kamijo seizes an opportunity, pilfering a boom box filled with illicit substances. Amidst this chaos, the path of a young prostitute, Alice, crosses with Arano's. She seduces him with dreams of robbing the drugs and escaping to the idyllic shores of Fiji. However, when Alice vanishes with the stolen goods, Arano's fury is unleashed, sparking a relentless rampage against the Yakuza. Simultaneously, his association with Kamijo and his hapless crew deepens, with Arano being roped into orchestrating a critical hit. While initially the addition of a ruthless killer seem advantageous for the gang, they soon discover that Arano's uncurbed psychopathy is a double-edged sword. As the situation spirals out of control, they're left with a chilling question: will they manage to extricate themselves from the clutches of this deadly newcomer, or will they be the next casualties in his path of destruction? In the heart of Tokyo's underworld, alliances are formed and broken, loyalties are tested, and survival becomes a brutal game of cat and mouse, where one wrong move could be your last.
