Line 1:
{{work}}
Directed by [[Takashi Miike]], the movie manages to capture the mildly surrealistic humor of the games, including the severe [[Mood Whiplash]]. Its stylized very much like a live action version of a video game, complete with rather cartoonish effects and ridiculous action sequences.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Not an extra, but Majima's role is much larger than his role in the game.
* [[All There in the Manual]]: Most of the characters, their motivations, and backstories. Even Kazuma's is barely touched upon, as the movie begins well into the plot of the first game. Like A Dragon: Prologue also covers these things, as well as going into more detail to the backstories of the characters than even the games. You would be forgiven for not having any idea who Nishiki was even after the conclusion of the film.
Line 28:
* [[Oh Crap]]: When the gangsters realize that Kazuma has {{spoiler|taken a swig of a healing item in the final battle.}}
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Kazuma begins the movie with an almost literal version, his first appearance is buying dog food for a dog for Haruka (... and getting into a fight in the process, of course).
* [[Shout
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: Played with... Crazy Ken Band's very upbeat Hama no Ambassador playing over Majima's wandering the streets, hitting random people with a bat and starting brawls seems to conflict with the action, but at the same time fits Majima's [[Axe Crazy|crazier]] [[Blood Knight|tendencies]].
* [[Spared
* [[You Don't Look Like You]]: Averted by Kazuma and Majima, who look very similar to their in-game counterparts (Kazuma looks a bit young, though his model in the first game didn't exactly look aged). Played straight by Haruka and Yumi, who don't resemble their in-game counterparts at all (but fortunately don't lose any of their important qualities).
