Quotes
Akashi: The day ends in quiet meditation, imagining one's final hour and the various ways of dying: by bow and arrow... gun... spear... cut down by a sword... swallowed up by the sea... jumping into a fire... being struck by lightning... crushed by an earthquake... falling off a cliff... sudden death!

Crazy credits
The movie begins with the title as "Oer Kill" until the V drops down and makes it "Over Kill"

The greatest Anti-Japanese Miami Vice rip off of the 80's!

WOAH! That's all I can say about Overkill! It has some of the greatest dialogue I have ever heard. Example- Guy: Sayonara. Guy2:What does that mean? Guy: It means goodbye. Never have I seen the horrors of the yakuza so expertly portrayed in a mindless action movie! I mean look at this guy! He kills people with a sword! Cool! See this movie and maybe they'll make Overkill 2: Ohaiyo! What does that mean?
