Takeshi Kitano

[Buzzkill]

is the baddest motherfucker to ever live. All of his movies are sweet, and he kicks ass in them too.

See:

Zatoichi: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0363226/

Violent Cop: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098360/

Boiling Point: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098967/

Brother: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0222851/

Hana-BI: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119250/ (My favorite)

[Jonster]

Takeshi's Castle.

[Funky Fly]

Indeed. There is one movie he did that is kind of a drama/comedy thing where he is just kinda travelling with some random kid.

[Jonster]

But seriously, movie wise I've only seen Zatoichi, and I liked it.

[Triple A]

Yeah I bought Hana-bi, Dolls, and Zatoichi off eBay. Haven't watched them yet though.

Anyway, Takashi Miike is way better. :mad: His movies are the most fucked up movies ever.

Cheque out:

Audition
Gozu
Ichi the Killer
Visitor Q
The Happiness of the Katakuris

[Buzzkill]

Dead or Alive (http://imdb.com/title/tt0221111/) is pretty fucked up alright(well, the ending is anyways). Its the only movie of his that I've seen though.

[Triple A]

Check out Audition, seriously. It is so great. Thinking about it now, holy shit, so good. I saw it at a midnight movie theater screening and like ten old people walked out in disgust.

[Buzzkill]

Is that the one where the girl gives birth to her brother or something. I remember you talking about that.

[Jonster]

I tried to get my cousin to watch Audition, and he stopped about halfway through apparently because it was too "lovey doovy".

I told him to watch it all :rant:

Nah that is Gozu.

lol

[Buzzkill]

He is just such a badass though. Like in Hana-Bi, some guy in a bar makes a wise crack towards him, so he grabs some chop sticks and SHOVES THEM THROUGH THE GUYS EYE. Wow.

Also, he got half of his face ripped off by a motorcycle in real life, and he is STILL acting. What a champion.

[mitch_h]

Yea i've seen Sonatine and Brother. Sonatine wasn't how I thought it would be... but it was still fantastic. Really wanna see Hana-Bi though.

[Gouda]

Takeshi Kitano is in Battle Royale also.

That's the only one of his movies that I've seen.

I was going to watch Zatoichi but then it didn't work.

Dammit I wanna see battle royale so bad.

I was mostly talking about movies he directed, but yes Battle Royale kicked ass as well. Its just really, really disturbing.

[Danny Electric]

He's in Merry Christmas Mister Lawrence, a British POW film. Awesome film.

[Azriel]

No Buzzkill, Audition is the one where psycho girl tortures a guy BIG TIME

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Kikujiro

That ending had me rolling with laughter though!

The book has a much better, non-comical, ending.

[Funky Fly]

Kikujiro
Yeah. It's the kinda movie you watch on a Sunday Afternoon when there is nothing better to do.

Pretty good shit.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I liked Kikujiro a lot actually....

Hey, I may be a pussy, but I thought the story was cute..

They should have kept the pencil scenes in :)

[Gouda]

Saw Zatoichi yesterday. Wasn't anything special. There seemed to be a lot of pointlessness in it.
