Swallowtail Butterfly (Japanese: スワロウテイル, Hepburn: Suwarōteiru, lit. 'Swallowtail') is a 1996 Japanese crime film written, directed and edited by Shunji Iwai, starring Hiroshi Mikami, pop-singer Chara, and Ayumi Ito.The film is set in Tokyo at an unspecified point in the near future when the Japanese yen has become the strongest currency in the world. This attracts an influx of immigrants, legal and illegal, to work in the city. The immigrants give the city the nickname Yen Town (円都, en to). The Japanese natives, however, despise the nickname, and in retribution call the immigrants by the homophone Yen Thieves (円盗, en tou), anglicised as "Yentowns" in the film's English subtitles. | |

Bilingual Dialogue: All over the place. Sometimes even trilingual, as the characters speak various combinations of Chinese, English, and Japanese at different levels of fluency. | |

MacGuffin: The cassette tape of 'My Way'. Rio Rannki's hunt to track it down after that fuels the major confrontation near the end of the film. | |

Death Seeker: Rio Ranki shows signs of this. His bravado in front of his enemies' guns may actually be this. | |
