Philippine film distributor SineAsia announced on Thursday that it will screen a Tagalog-dubbed version of the live-action Crows Explode film on October 28. The film will screen exclusively in SM Cinemas.
The film opened in Japan in April 2014, and it is the third film in a series of live-action film adaptations of Hiroshi Takahashi's Crows manga. Cult director Takashi Miike directed both the 2007 Crows Zero and 2009 Crows Zero II live-action films. Toshiaki Toyoda (Aoi Haru, Kūchū Teien) then directed Crows Explode, which takes place one month after the end of Crows Zero II.
The original manga ran from 1990 to 1998 in Akita Shoten's Monthly Shōnen Champion magazine, and received 26 compiled book volumes. Takahashi began publishing the sequel manga Worst in Monthly Shōnen Champion in 2002, and ended it in 2013. Crows also inspired a two-episode video anime adaptation, 1994's Kōkō Butō Den Crows.
