| Stray Dog | comment |
Stray Dog (野良犬 Nora Inu) is an Akira Kurosawa film from 1949, starring Toshiro Mifune.Murakami, a rookie homicide cop (Mifune), has his pistol stolen from him by a pickpocket on a crowded Tokyo trolley. The plot follows Murakami in his efforts to track down and find the stolen gun. He's helped in his search by Sato, a more experienced detective (Takashi Shimura), but he's also wracked by guilt because the gun has been used to commit crimes.One of the first films to deal with the "older detective trains younger detective" plot you can see in films like Se7en or Training Day.No relation with the manga. | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Yusa loves a showgirl named Harumi, and often visits her after her shows. This ends up costing him, as Harumi tips Murakami to his location once she knows of Yusa's evil deeds. | |

From Bad to Worse | |
| Stray Dog / int_7870735b | comment |
From Bad to Worse: First, Murakami's gun gets stolen. Then, it gets used in a robbery that will likely cost one victim a chance to marry her sweetheart. It soon escalates even further to where Murakami's gun is used to murder a housewife and even nearly kill Sato. This final crime is what pushes Murakami to the brink of his guilt. | |

Small Role, Big Impact: Yusa only appears in two scenes (and his face is only seen in one), but his violent actions and the pursuit of him by the police drives the second half of the film | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: While Sato is phoning for backup at the hotel where Yusa is hiding out, the proprietor's wife soothes her crying baby by saying that a cop is there, which Yusa overhears, then bolts and shoots Sato trying to stop him. Thankfully averted as Sato survives. | |

Bottomless Magazines: Averted. Murakami keeps a running tab on how many bullets are left in his gun. In the climactic scene Yusa is down to three bullets. He wings Murakami, but then shoots wild twice and is left with an empty chamber. | |

Mirror Character | |
| Stray Dog / int_ba5bbda5 | comment |
Mirror Character: A major theme of the movie is the many similarities between Murakami and Yusa. Both were soldiers returning after Japan's surrender, both were robbed of their packs on the way home from the war, both became angry at how postwar Japan treated its veterans. But Murakami went one way and joined the police force, while Yusa went the other way, into a life of crime. This is emphasized in the final shot with the two characters, when they both collapse gasping for air after Murakami finally puts the cuffs on Yusa. | |
