The Kawasaki Nightmare

The Kawasaki Nightmare (Japanese: カワサキの悪夢; Kawasaki no akumu), is a 2020 Magisterian neo-Western martial arts-yakuza film directed by Casimir I'Anson, and written by Shelton Womack. It stars Alex Mushashibo as Akane Noguchi, a sadistic and ultraviolent yakuza assassin who later seeks revenge to the yakuza's leader Ryo Kobayashi (Shun Oguri) after she was betrayed and almost murdered by the members. It was released in Netflix on December 31, 2020, and was later released in cinemas on December 31, 2021.

I'Anson inspired the film from Tarantino's 2003 hit films Kill Bill: Vol. 1, and Kill Bill: Vol. 2, which explains the highly violent feel of the fight scenes which was first seen in Tarantino's Kill Bill movie series. The film became the second highest grossing film for the year 2021, only behind to Spiderman: No Way Home.
