Japanese Bike Messenger Movie
I wish I could watch the full length movie of this trailer somehow. The Japanese version of Quicksilver. The plot line seems to go like this. Rich spoiled girl hits bike messenger. Bike messenger is out of commission, so rich girl has to take over her job for some reason. She is introduced to the world of Japanese bike messengers and the rigors of the job. Girl falls in love with bike messenger guy, but then has to battle the Japanese mob who ride on motorcycles.
Thanks to cyclelicio.us for leading up to this video. cyclelicio.us has a video on an NYC bike messenger. Not as crazy as the Lucas Brunelle videos, this is more of a profile of one bike messenger.
You beat me to posting this
VCD and Region 2 DVDs are available online for ordering. I think I’ll buy the VCD (with Engrish subtitles). It comes as a set of 2 CDs but I won’t have to worry about region code hacks. A Japanese cycling friend told me the movie was okay.
