Ichi The Killer (2001)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Audio sounds demonic? Video not playing/delay while scrolling? Use the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, you're being blocked by a security service in use here. Can happen for a number of reasons. Or your specific device/browser might be throwing up weird errors.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Just wanted to point out that Karen speaks 3 languages. Firstly Japanese, English, and Mandarin. It’s interesting to see.

those Asians can’t act, they are so over dramatic, more dramatic than white actors in silent films that had to use only facial expressions.. I can’t take them seriously and what kind of dialogues are even those? Is the screenplay writer mentally challenged? I am always fascinated with the people that praise Asian films and tv-series. It’s either 14yo or 60yo grannies… stopped watching in about 34 minutes.

ㅋㅋㅋ.. 기대하고 봤는데.. 고어입문자도 쉽게 볼 수 있을만큼 cg가 티나고, 연기도 티난다. 과대평가란 말이 사실인듯하다^^ 적당히 즐겨볼 만화. 원작이 훨 좋다~ ^^….

Geniunly love this movie so much. Its unsettling at first as it is and makes you think ichi is a bad person but more and more u find out he got fed these things. Of course hes still a bad person but it justifies it a bit. The cgi throws u off as its old an therefore not done so well but its still quite good. Its a bit hard to keep track of the characters beside the main ones and switch between many scenes alot tho it was still understandable. The end absolutely gagged me, i didnt expect it at all. Overall i think the rape flashbacks of the school girl were a bit unnecessary as it was added A LOT tho its still good. Great characters with nice writing tho u wish we knew more about “the boss”. I think kakihara is supposed to be the ultimate masochist, ichi the ultimate sadist and the father something in between. Nonetheless one of my favorite movies, wow.
