Porco Rosso

Porco Rosso, a human with the face of a pig, is an ace pilot. Instead of flying for the Italian Air Force, the cool, lonely macho man prefers to earn his money as a bounty hunter and chase off air pirates, because "I'd rather be a pig than a fascist". For a duel with an American airman, he has to have his red plane overhauled - under the direction of a cheeky 17-year-old, of all people, who naturally wants to fly with him. The air pirates organize the big duel.
