PLOT SUMMARY     : In New York, an African-American hit man follows
Hagakure: The Way of the Samurai. He lives alone,
in simplicity, with pigeons, calling himself Ghost
Dog. His retainer, who saved his life eight years'
ago, is part of the local mob. When the boss's
daughter witnesses one of Ghost Dog's hits, he is
expendable. The first victims are his birds, and in
response, Ghost Dog goes right at his attackers but
does not want to harm his retainer or the young
woman. On occasion, he talks with his best friend,
a French-speaking Haitian who sells ice cream in
the park, and with a child, with whom he discusses
books. Can he stay true to his code? And if he
does, what is his fate?

SPECiAL NOTES : XviD still turns us on at SChiZO.  Flask turned people
on early in 2000.  ViRA ripped this movie July 2000, and
we've done it again, but keeping the 5.1 AC3 from the
DVD and using 350mb more CD space.  Last release was
not properable, but at least you'll have this one.
