BOILING POINT has been theatrically released in 1990, it's the second movie of japanese writer/director Takeshi "Beat" Kitano.
A young solitary boy, fond of baseball, hits one of the local mobsters. While staying in Okinawa looking for a gun, he encounters Takeshi Kitano who takes him for a wild ride in the underground.
Strange and somewhat funny movie.
