Beat Takeshi

[ECA]

Just got a boxset with

Violent Cop
Boiling Point
Sonatine

in it.

Shall be watching and posting reviews later.

Anyone else watched Takeshi stuff?

 

[Meatballs]

Never heard of it? What is it anime?

 

[ECA]

Nope its from Takeshi *beat* Kitano, he used to be part of a very popular japanese comedy doubleact then turned into a violent film director.

ive got:
Battle Royale and
Brother

Both cool films.

I didnt really like Sonatime though.

Also seen him in his gameshow Takeshi's Castle
