No shit? Next thing you'll tell me is that frogs' asses are water-tight, and that Pinocchio has wooden balls! |

Well kids, it's official. Ichi the Killer is one FUCKED UP film. Cool as hell, and of way better quality that I expected (I was expecting something along the lines of The Story of Ricky, aka Ricky Oh). Miike is easily one of my favorite movie dudes now. Wow, what a trip that movie was. I want other people to see it, but you can't show that kind of a film to just anyone. Pity.
Okay, I know you hosers at the Dump have seen a lot of movies in the vein of Audition and Ichi the Killer, so feed me some more titles that you people enjoyed! I thirst for more creepy-ass Asian films like Ichi thirsts for Tekken Tag Tournament!

For a bit more of a mind fuck from Miike watch Gozu, Izo and maybe even Visitor Q
And another creepy movie is Suicide Circle (not miike but still good)
and while were at it watch Tetsuo the Ironman and Tokyo Fist by Shinya Tsukamoto (the small muscular guy in Ichi)

Every and any movie starring "Beat" Takeshi is awesome beyond saying.
...
It probably went without saying because of that. His Zatoichi films are good, but his Yakuza flicks are tops for Bad Ass-itude.
For Miike, "Zebraman" is forever a favorite of mine, in terms of being f'ed up and such.

Ong-Bak and The Protector.
If you haven't seen these, do so.
Guy beats up people. It's fucking awesome. The Protector is like a spiritual sequel, and the plot isn't even far off. It's more 'done-up', but it's still good. It's also a little more brutal.

Totally. Hell, I was just at Wal-Mart and they had Jaa's film debut, Spirited Protector, and I picked it up. Sounds cool as fuck, man.

I've got a copy of the Protector kicking around here somewhere. I've had it since last spring, I keep forgetting to watch it (that, and wherever my buddy got it from, it has what looks like the subtitles for Boys n' tha Hood or something...).
PS: How can The Protector be MORE brutal than Ong Bak? ;D

So I started watching The Protector today, all in Thai with Chinese subtitles. Big deal, I saw the first movie under the same circumstances (I still haven't seen it in English...). The boat chase scene was crazy! I never get tired of watching Tony Jaa do his thang! It's pretty cool that he's able to take what is a pretty limited tool-set in Muay Thai, and really weave it thoroughly into the fight choreography so that it is unmistakably Muay Thai (not like certain wanna-be RVD look-a-likes and their shitty kickboxer movies...). Jaa blows my mind, you can see that he knows his shit COMPLETELY, and even the techniques used in the film, although exaggerated, are really what you'd use them for. Awesome stuff, I can't wait to watch the rest, and maybe I'll go pick a REAL copy up and retire the flying get one.

Here's a fun fact for you: the style of Muay That used in The Protector is acutally an ancient form of it used by combat troops charged with protecting elephant units in battle, and the signature characteristic of the style is using your limbs to wrap around those of your opponent to break bones, keep in striking position, and immobilize. DVD extras rule.  |
