Ichi The Killer (2001)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

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.

The film is good, but the cgi really threw me off. If they had done it all with practical effects I’d have liked more.

This is the cut version, bc Takayamas scene where his head is getting twisted off by jijii is not complete, it stops mid way. EUM please fix that!

Fucking LOVE this movie. Used to have the Tokyo Shock DVD release, but lost it during a move. This is Takashi Miike at his absolute best. Well, maybe aside from Audition and Visitor Q. But yeah, fucking awesome movie.

“For the introduction of a socialist economy is more than a ‘decree’! It requires a moral understanding, an ethical conviction, a religious profession of faith! For in its innermost essence, it is a turning away from the idolatry of previous millennia, the overcoming of a monetary system already attacked by MOSES AND CHRIST, which could be maintained to the present day only by keeping people stupid and terrorizing them, and by a mendacious sanctimoniousness. To bring about this powerful revolution is our mission; to prevent it, on the other hand, is the intention and perhaps already the task assigned to Schacht.”

— Adolf Hitler, in Otto Wagener’s Memoirs of a Confidant, p. 263

Ichi the Killer (Japanese: 殺し屋1, romanized: Koroshiya Ichi, lit. ’Hitman One’) is a 2001 Japanese horror yakuza film directed by Takashi Miike, written by Sakichi Sato, and starring Tadanobu Asano and Nao Omori. Based on Hideo Yamamoto’s manga series of the same name, its plot follows a psychologically damaged man who is manipulated into assaulting or killing rival faction members of feuding yakuza gangs while being pursued by a sadomasochistic enforcer.

The film has garnered controversy due to its graphic depictions of violence and cruelty, and has been banned in several countries.[

Classic flick, it has it problems but still a classic. Ichi is an annoying whiny rapist fetishist bitch, the old man is deplorable for what he initially did to ichi; making him a sick twisted perverted killing machine, and I rejoiced when he hung himself; but I digress. Kakihara is the star of the film, his great outfits with his sadomasochistic personality was delectable and it left me wanting more, if only we focused on the yakuza more, the cgi is laughably bad especially with the two stand out scenes; the pimp being split in half and the dumbass old man having his head ridiculously edited onto a bodybuilder. Other than that this movie is sick and ready for any demented fuck to enjoy. Japanese cinema is like no other.

Probably Miike’s most adventurous rollercoaster ride (aside from maybe Gozu) based on the manga of the same name. If you like this movie I suggest to check out the manga which goes deeper into the themes of this story. Especially the character of Kakihara differs heavily from the manga, which is a shame imo but you will probably be glad to hear that what has been scrapped is made up for in glorious ultra-violence.
