So, 'Geisha War' is this gritty mashup of Yakuza and Mafia cultures, really dives into the underbelly of organized crime. The bloodshed is over-the-top, almost theatrical, like fountains bursting with crimson, an aesthetic choice that sets a unique tone. You can watch it and feel the tension build; it’s not just about the action, but the rivalries that are almost Shakespearean in their intensity. Performances are a mixed bag, but there's something raw about the whole affair that keeps it compelling, like a fever dream you can't shake off. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it’s intriguing how it unfolds, dragging you into its chaotic world.

Finding 'Geisha War' on physical media can be quite a hunt; it seems to have circulated in limited formats, mostly on VHS back in the day, and later some obscure DVD releases. The scarcity of good quality copies adds to the allure for collectors, as there’s a certain charm to its gritty visuals and practical effects. Interest piqued in niche circles, especially among those who appreciate the crossover of Asian and Western cinema, making it a curious piece in any collection.
