Are you going down the Takashi Miike rabbit hole?

Ichi is the only film of his I've seen. There are more?

Audition I did see years ago.

Audition I did see years ago.

He does solid horror but his true craft is in "fucked up" and super dark humor.

I have a high tolerance for "fucked up" films. Love it.

Territory II, 2018

I've heard from some that it's better than the first. What do you think and how much better? Because the first one bored the fuck out of me, but I'm still kind of curious.

Yes it was a lot better than the first. It did drag a little here and there.

Ex-freaking-actly.

And just to clarify for anyone who did not understand the first video i provided... the Dead or Alive ending. This one:



.... imagine that you're watching Goodfella's or better yet, Heat (Al Pacino, Robert De Niro) and the movie is exactly the same as it stands. The heist, the realism, the gangster vs cop, etc. Imagine this except for a Japanese, Yakuza version of the gangsters. So its a typical drama, thriller, action gangster flick......
But imagine at the end of the Heat when De Niro and Pacino are at the airport landing strip and having their final shoot out, imagine if instead of the way it played out the movie all the sudden for the final two minutes it takes a weird left turn that you had no reason to think would ever happen and the final two minutes of the video is the video above. your reaction, assuming it would be similar to mine, would be having your hands on your head, laughing and screaming "WHAT?!?!? WHAT?!?!? WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?!?! WHAT AM I WATCHING?!?!"

And that is Takashi Miike in a nutshell, that is how you will react to 75% of his movies.

The Changeling, 1980.

Well, I'll definitely give it a try, then. Thanks!

As for Takashi Miike, he's definitely one of my favorite directors. He just creates some fun and fucked up movies, with Audition still being one of my favorites. I have a giant Audition poster hanging above my desk
