Japanese Movie Identification

[TheDirtyDigger]

Just a quick question for our resident and esteemed Japanophiles here.

I'm looking for the title of a Japanese movie I really want to show my wife.
I've seen it before, late one night, but never caught the title.
It has two aspiring actresses living together and vying for the same part in a production. One girl is an academic, high achiever from a rural area and the other is more urbane (and slutty).
In the end they end up beating each other to death.

It truly is a great film.

Any assistance or information on it is highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Interesting thread, there is an Asian movie that I've always wanted to know what it was, maybe someone knows it also?

I've seen bits of it twice on SBS, but never looked in the TV Guide to see what it was, but at one part there was this huge fight scene, with fights happening in a stair well, more fights happening in a car park, with a car driving up/down the ramps of different levels, and there was another part where a guy was in an apartment, and either there was a bomb there or someone shot a missile at the place, cause he hid in the fridge so he wouldn't get burned...

When I say fights, they were mostly shooting, not fists, karate etc..

Pretty poor examples to pick a movie I know, but if anyone remembers it or anything similar, I'd be most appreciative

Awesome Ramp! That's the one.

Everybody should see this movie before they die. I found it highly entertaining!

It's funny how they exploit each others weaknesses, like how one is allergic to tatami mats, so later the other rubs her face into the floor.

That sounds like an awesome film.

Recommended Japanese movie for scifi and TF fans:

This is the movie that inspired Dreamworks to make a live-action Transformers movie.* I must admit that when I saw this movie I immediately started about the possibility of a TF movie.

Here is the "inspirational" scene <--!SPOILER ALERT!

_______________
*iirc in one of the DVD interviews either Spielberg or someone from Dreamworks (not Bay) said that they'd seen a Japanese movie which had a transformation scene in it which then prompted them to consider making a Transformers movie.
P.S.: I think the DVD also mentioned that they were also inspired by the Michael Smith VW short and the transforming Citroën ads.

Looks good Gok, might have to check it out..

Oh and the movie I was talking about I'm pretty sure is Time and Tide

...yeah, that doesn't look Japanese (as per the topic of this thread). You did say Asian though... of course, Kazahkstan is Asian too.
