There are plenty of bizarre and hilarious characters in this Takashi Miike classic that was considered so violent, it was banned in many countries.
haha fuck yes ive been waiting so long for this
this is honestly one of my favorite movies of all time. i’ve never seen anything like it before! ultra violent but still manages to be humorous at times
The videos are out of synch by a few seconds.
Seems ok.
If on Option 1, please make sure the playback speed button (bottom right) isn’t turned on.
Kakihara is one of my favorite Japanese character ever! Ah!
Sameeeeee. ??
saaammeeee LOL
nice movie, i like the balance of torture and crime 🙂
Enjoyed every minute.
Loved the scene where he bites his hand lol.
I’ll have to watch this again. (Hey– it wasn’t here before I asked for it! Not that I think I’m the only one.) It goes beyond the extreme violent, and even beyond a parody on the extreme violent. I think what is interesting here is the manner by which the sick behaviour of (some of) the characters seems just so natural for them, that the viewer is bound to believe this is an actual psycho disturbed world portrayed here. It isn’t funny, it’s crazy and sick in a convincing way, and that is no easy matter.
kakihara can do this to me
Am I the only one hoping for a BL ending of Kakihara with ? In their extreme sadomaso way. ????
with Ichi*****
not gonna bullshit you, you’re probably the only one
Yeeeeah.. you’re the only one.
theyre not the only one
stfu fujoshi
BL ssstoooop!!!!!!!!!!!1
there’s a sync problem in both options 🙁
good
This is one of the best and most artistic movie ever to be made. Better than Shawshank Redemption
I own several versions of this but this one has the best giblets!
I understood everything except how was Kakihara sitting in the bath tub in the end?
This better be the uncut version.
WOW AWESOME MOVIE. TOTAL THRILL RIDE,,, THANKS TO YOU EFFEDUP , AGAIN
Geçtiğin yollara bi dön bak istedim Kakihara, götün düşmüş.
Madem dünyaya dargıngın ichi gurban niye dogdun
Dai-ichi (第一) is a compound modifier phrase of Japanese origin, meaning number one. Takashi Miike cast a brilliant artist who portrayed a psychologically elaborate disposition of coveted evince.
Other films are bête noire in juxtaposition <3
Paulyn Sun’s performance is influentially and sublimely analogous to an Asiatic Helen Bonham Carter.
who was that kid at the ending
the kid that was beating ichi up? hes that one guys kid ichi actually saved from bullies but now ichi killed his dad so hes fucking angry
idk if i watched the uncut ver or the “safe” ver b4 on another site and not wanting to watch it again rn (not that i didnt enjoy its its one of my favorites of all time im just tired now) can someone whos seen both versions what the major differences r. like what scenes were cut from this one.
One of the all time greatest movies made. A tale of true psychological horror. It depicts violence in all it’s forms and sex. It shows the bonds we all share with both masochism and sadism. We can see ourselves in Ichi and Kakihara. The dance they unveil is not one of death, but of life itself, one of struggle and pain. I hope Hollywood never decides to do a remake of this film. If you can read the maga, it is so worth it!
Don’t jynx it.
Video is out of sync
No it isn’t u fucking melt
The second source option is out of sync audio-wise, “u fucking melt” 🙂
Lmao what the fuck was that ending hilarious watch though had me laughing

Seen as my UK dvd copy is cut I’m looking forward to seeing this in full for the first time
Aged like Fine Wine.
Takashi Miike at his best!
