Lured by the prospect of gaining the power of darkness, many seek to find and open the portals. Somewhere in Japan, there exists the 444th portal known as <i>The Forest of Resurrection</i>. </p><p>In 10th century Japan, a lone samurai fends off a horde of zombie-like samurai creatures. Though successfully vanquishing the zombies, the samurai is confronted by a mysterious priest and his league of warriors. In an attempt to take out the mysterious priest, the lone samurai charges but is easily killed. Before dying, the lone samurai spots an ally behind him, who arrives too late to save him. </p><p>In present-day Japan, two prisoners escape through a forest and meet up with a gang of <a href="/wiki/Yakuza" title="Yakuza">Yakuzas</a>. When Prisoner KSC2-303 (<a href="/wiki/Tak_Sakaguchi" title="Tak Sakaguchi">Tak Sakaguchi</a>) sees a girl (Chieko Misaka) that the gang kidnapped, he immediately becomes suspicious of what they plan to do with her. After a heated argument, KSC2-303 kills one of the Yakuza members, who resurrects as a zombie. During the chaos, KSC2-303 escapes back into the forest with The Girl. Disobeying their orders to wait, the Yakuza pursue Prisoner KSC2-303 and The Girl. </p><p>KSC2-303 and The Girl come across a man crucified upon a tree. KSC2-303 steals the dead man's clothes and is confronted by one of the Yakuza. They engage in hand-to-hand combat while the other Yakuza begin facing problems of their own. The corpses of all the men they have killed and buried in the forest resurrect and attack them. KSC2-303 and the other Yakuza reluctantly cooperate to battle the zombies. </p><p>With the horde of zombies growing, the Yakuza call upon three assassins to aid them. The Yakuza leader, The Man (<a href="/wiki/Hideo_Sakaki" title="Hideo Sakaki">Hideo Sakaki</a>), finally arrives and confronts them, angry that they lost KSC2-303 and The Girl. The Yakuza and Assassins take the upper hand and kill him first. But The Man easily jumps back to his feet and turns the Assassins and Yakuza into his own minions. Two of the Assassins escape and find KSC2-303. One is defeated by The Girl with a log, and the other is confronted by The Man and killed. </p><p>KSC2-303 attempts to force The Girl to tell him what is going on, believing that she has been hiding secrets from him the whole time. Before explaining thoroughly, The Man finds Prisoner KSC2-303 and The Girl. The Man begins explaining to Prisoner KSC2-303 that they are reincarnations of past lives. The Man plans to use The Girl as a sacrifice to open the portal hidden in The Forest of Resurrection and obtain the power of darkness. Unable to accept his explanations, Prisoner KSC2-303 attempts to kill The Man but is killed himself instead. </p><p>The Girl manages to reach Prisoner KSC2-303's body and feeds him a part of her blood before being taken by The Man's minions. During his unconscious state, Prisoner KSC2-303 experiences a flashback of his past life in the 10th century; he is the ally who was too late to save the lone samurai. He and The Girl (who is revealed to be a princess) are confronted by the mysterious priest (who turns out to be The Man) and his gang. Outnumbered and facing long odds, Pre-Prisoner KSC2-303 reluctantly kills The Girl to stop The Man from obtaining the power of darkness. Enraged, The Man viciously kills Pre-Prisoner KSC2-303. Prisoner KSC2-303 is awakened in the present with the truth fully revealed to him. </p><p>The following morning, Prisoner KSC2-303 confronts The Man and his minions for a final showdown. Prisoner KSC2-303 takes on the minions first and wins, leaving only The Man left. Prisoner KSC2-303 decapitates The Man and rescues The Girl, and both make their escape from The Forest of Resurrection. </p><p>99 years later, Earth lies in ruin. The reincarnation of The Man travels through the remains of a city, and eventually confronts KSC2-303 and the reincarnated versions of The Man's gang (who now work for KSC2-303). The Girl, held against her will, tells The Man that she should have been on his side 99 years earlier. With nothing left to destroy in this world, KSC2-303 asks The Man to take him to the Other Side. The Man and KSC2-303 charge at each other and engage in battle one more time. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Versus_(2000_film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Tak_Sakaguchi" title="Tak Sakaguchi">Tak Sakaguchi</a> as Prisoner KSC2-303</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Hideo_Sakaki" title="Hideo Sakaki">Hideo Sakaki</a> as The Man</li> <li>Chieko Misaka as The Girl</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kenji_Matsuda" title="Kenji Matsuda">Kenji Matsuda</a> as Yakuza Leader with butterfly knife</li> <li>Yuichiro Arai as Motorcycle-riding yakuza with revolver</li> <li>Minoru Matsumoto as Crazy yakuza with amulet</li> <li>Kazuhito Ohba as Yakuza with glasses</li> <li>Takehiro Katayama as Red-haired assassin</li> <li>Ayumi Yoshihara as Long-haired female assassin</li> <li>Shōichirō Masumoto as One-handed cop</li> <li>Toshiro Kamiaka as Samurai warrior</li> <li>Yukihito Tanikado as Cop with <a href="/wiki/Barrett_M82" title="Barrett M82">Barrett</a></li> <li>Hoshimi Asai as Short-haired female assassin</li> <li>Ryosuke Watabe as Yakuza zombie in alligator-skin coat</li> <li>Motonari Komiya as Other prisoner</li></ul></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Versus_(2000_film)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Development">Development</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Versus_(2000_film)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Development"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Originally, <i>Versus</i> was intended to be a sequel to director Kitamura's "amateur" short film <i><b>Down to Hell</b></i>, with the intention of also shooting <i>Versus</i> on video with a low budget as he did with <i>Down to Hell</i> but instead decided to shoot on film with budget of $10,000 for a theatrical release.<sup id="cite_ref-midnighteye1_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-midnighteye1-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>According to Kitamura, he raised the money to independently produce <i>Versus</i> by borrowing money from friends and family after Producers refused to produce an action film with him because, to them, it was impossible to achieve due to the lack of time and money.<sup id="cite_ref-midnighteye1_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-midnighteye1-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Filming was originally planned to last 3 weeks but was extended to 7 months due to weather and financial issues.<sup id="cite_ref-First_Contact_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-First_Contact-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Casting">Casting</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Versus_(2000_film)&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Casting"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Tak_Sakaguchi" title="Tak Sakaguchi">Tak Sakaguchi</a> was hired for the lead after director Kitamura saw a gag video that featured Sakaguchi.
