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.
Am I the only one hoping for a BL ending of Kakihara with ? In their extreme sadomaso way. ????
with Ichi*****
there’s a sync problem in both options 🙁
good
