SYNOPSIS: From drunken karaoke binges to baseball-themed vigilantes, the Bokuto Police Station is a magnet for the weird and unusual! Fortunately, car crazy Miyuki, insanely strong Natsumi and the rest of the station’s enforcers of justice are always ready to place their well-drawn bodies between the public and the line of fire! It’s non-stop, pedal to the metal action and hilarity as Japan’s most irregular team of police officers hits the streets in You’re Under Arrest: Fast & Furious!

Ki-gai – The Complete Series Collection collects all of Hiroshi Nagai’s supernatural series about an unlikely pair of beautiful women who team up to investigate the paranormal. This live action DVD release from Switchblade Pictures features beautiful babes and plenty of action.

SYNOPSIS: When Miki Takenotori starts talking about ghosts, ghouls and things that go bump in the night, most people dismiss her stories as just the fantasies of a rather weird teenager. Unfortunately for Miki, the things she’s talking about are REAL, and most of them don’t like being talked about!

So when Miki joins forces with beautiful archaeologist Reiko Kaguya to investigate the latest mysterious apparition, they usually find themselves in imminent danger of being eaten by giant birds, water demons or some other equally horrific fate! And then there’s the strangely androgynous being that calls itself Hekiru: is “he” a friend or foe?

And why is “he” somehow linked to almost every supernatural event they investigate? The answers will be unveiled as two young women do their best to keep aliens, demon mirrors and even giant dragons from destroying Japan in Kigai – The Complete Series Collection!
