Takashi Miike’s Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo has a new official Japanese trailer, released by Neon, highlighting the franchise’s move into Miike’s dark, neon-lit underworld. The film follows a gambling-addicted Tokyo cop and an FBI agent as they search for a missing politician’s daughter, with a mysterious killer operating in the background.
The movie is the third installment in the Bad Lieutenant series and is described as a standalone sequel to Werner Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009). Multiple outlets note that it is scheduled to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and that TIFF frames it as a “sensational ride” through the criminal underworld’s darkest areas. The trailer also emphasizes the film’s tone—ranging from dark humor to stylized “bonkers” imagery—and features music associated with the movie, including a song written for the project. Casting is consistent across coverage, with Lily James, Shun Oguri, and WWE wrestler Liv Morgan listed among the leads, alongside other Japanese cast members.
