About This Movie

Fried Dragon Fish is a real curiosity from '93, blending crime with a hint of ecological intrigue. The narrative centers on Tetsu Tobiyama, a thief with his eyes on a rare dragon fish.

There's a gritty tone underscored by atmospheric music, contributing to the film's unique vibe. Poo's character adds an interesting layer, worming her way into secrets at Delta headquarters, which feels like a nod to classic spy flicks. The practical effects used for the dragon fish itself are quite striking, giving it a life-like presence. Performances vary, with some memorable moments that elevate the otherwise straightforward plot.
