Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
A suicidal actor swaps places with a cold-hearted contract killer suffering from amnesia, leading to big trouble for a wannabe bride in this outrageous farce from Japan. When ruthless hit-man Kondo slips in the locker room and hits his head, luckless actor Takeshi switches keys - and identities - with him. But while Takeshi is living it up as one of Japan's most feared assassins, Kondo falls under the spell of Kanae -- a driven career woman with a wedding date, but no groom to walk her down the aisle. Later, when Kanae jogs Kondo's memory, the stage is set for pure comic mayhem.
