Curiosidades
An Image of Taki firing his service revolver appeared on T-shirts printed by the non-Anime related clothing company Ripple Junction in 1997.

Pifias
When Taki and the hotelier are playing chess, the black king and queen are in each other's starting squares.

Citas
Taki Renzaburo: [watching Kanako take her bra off] Uh... I, er, I didn't know you were in such a hurry.
Kanako: I hope you don't mind?
Taki Renzaburo: No. Why would I mind about that? Soon as my heart stops pounding, I'll be just fine.
Kanako: [chuckles, then unzips Taki's fly] He's a healthy one. Let me see if I can wake him...
[gives him a blowjob]
Taki Renzaburo: [narrating] My God! Has this wild woman been hiding under that demure exterior all this time? I mean, it's not exactly what I was expecting, but then again... there are worse things.

Créditos adicionales
The Streamline Pictures version squishes the English credits off to the side of the screen.

Versiones alternativas
The Streamline Pictures version replaces the original panning shot of Tokyo during the end credits with stills from the film, due to the studio being unable to obtain a textless version of the end credits. This print was also used for Urban Vision's DVD, while Discotek Media's recent re-release uses a Japanese print, with the Streamline credits being available as a special feature.

Conexiones
Featured in Mean & Mercenary (1999)

Excellent anime & storyline!

This was my 1st. full-length anime motion picture I have ever seen, & ranks as one of my favorites! Taking place in the future, our hero, Taki who by day is an electrical salesman, & by night, a "Black Guard", is asked by his superiors to guard without failure a known senior negotiator, Mr. Guiseppe Mayart & to make sure he is at a treaty signing, & will be working with a partner, a "Black Guard" from the "Black World"....a female named "Makie". Together, they experience various situations from other renegade members of the Black World that try to thwart the treaty signing. What Taki & Makie don't know is that their pairing up from both worlds to protect Mr. Mayart has more that one objective, which makes sense later. What I liked about Wicked City is not just the storyline, but the anime itself. What I mean here is that this feature was "hand done" & not by computer, which is why it looks different from other anime features. NOTE: Unless your kids are of age, this anime is by all means not for the young ones. Aside from the "adult" parts, Wicked City is Excellent anime entertainment, which I am sure you'll enjoy!

PS.: Happy Birthday, IMDb! & May you have many more!
