Boiling Point (Japanese: 3-4x10月, Hepburn: San tai Yon ekkusu Jugatsu, lit.

A psychotic yakuza member named Uehara befriends them upon their arrival in Okinawa.

Uehara has his own agenda of revenge, and as the story progresses the two boys drift further into his orbit, with unsettling results.

Kitano's trademark black humor suffuses the film in many ways: at one point, the boy finally does get a gun, but shoots out the windshield of his girlfriend's car by mistake.

The original title, 3-4X Jugatsu, is the final score of a baseball game played in the film.
