Bayside Shakedown (踊る大捜査線 Odoru Daisōsasen) is a Japanese police drama/comedy series originally broadcast by the Fuji Television group in 1997. The series was so popular that three TV movies, a stage play and six theatrical-release movies were made following the end of the TV series. The first theatrical release was in 1998, the second in 2003, the third and fourth (spin-off movies featuring single characters from the franchise) in 2005, the fifth in 2010, the sixth and last released in 2012. In 1998 and 1999, an English-subtitled version of the series was broadcast in the United States on the International Channel as "The Spirited Criminal Investigative Network". The first movie, Bayside Shakedown The Movie, was a major box office hit in Japan, earning 10.1 billion yen (84 million U.S. dollars), and was the third highest grossing live-action film in Japanese box office history. DVD and video sales were also very high. Bayside Shakedown 2 is the highest grossing non-animated Japanese movie on domestic screens and earned over $165 million at the box office.
