two Yakuza families (Japan's 'mafia') whose rivalry erupts into violence and killing on the streets. 
Romeo, a rock star, is a Montague who falls in love with Juliet, a Capulet. They defy their parents 
and consummate their passion in secret. This is a story of love, revenge, violence and tragedy.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F6DA21D3-B9E4-4EED-89AB-8BE446FDF667/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
