I am Japanese. I live in Japan. Do you like this acter? In Japan he is no person. No one likes him.This is means you American are bad for put him into many movies.
>>222539214takeshi kitano was in an american movie? i thought he was only in yakuzaanyways i liked detective story but his later work just became too pretentious
I like the movie where he an hero's
>>222539214You already made this thread. Stop reposting stupid bullshit.
>>222539311Ghost in the Shell
>>222539214So tired of seeing this copypasta. Especially when its so easily disproven by Wednesday Downtown proving he's like the #6 most famous person ever in Japan.
That feel when Japanese films portraying yakuza as cool guys (not kind, just cool) are dead. Formally and officially prohibited by the government.
Copypasta aside I just want to say the Outrage trilogy fucks.
This is how Japanese actually feel about Beat Takeshi.
>>222539409First film is ok. And then it sinks into shit.
Why didn't he just be less violent?
>>222539460What does it mean?
>>222539814How recognizable he is for japs
Did he make anything good past the 90's?
>>222539906It was a top 100 on who Japanese people think is the most famous person in Japan.Beat Takeshi made #4. Out of 100.
>>222540088>Indoor Swimming Pool was #1Japan is weird.
>>222540123Kek.But this was actually number 1. And no one here has heard of him including me. Someone named Tamori.
>>222539214Shut up, Kenny.
what does edward james olmos have to do with japan
>>222539214Don't know of him but he looks cool.
Im not familiar with his roles but hes got that kino asian man look, I really like the star of no other choice
>>222539409the first movie was such a confusing mess, i never bothered with the other two movies
for me it's Sonatine
>>222539214Takeshi's Castle is kino of the highest order
>>222539214Japan is pozzed now.
>>222540626Terrific soundtrack too
Who?
>>222541070Oh hey its Ace.
Just watched Kikujiro again not too long ago.It's good.
I always liked this pasta
Hello, I am japanQuite frankly I want to become a Television & FilmWhich one should I choose?
>>222540068No
>>222541383No one made anything good past the 90s.
>>222541130PATROLL'D
>>222540478Huh? What was confusing about it?
Look it's the Gene Roddenberry and George Lucas of Japanese giant robot cartoons.
For me, it's Mifune-chad
>>222539214do 4chan mods use bots to fill up the deserted catalogue with the same bot threads for years on end?
>>222539214>This is means you American are bad for put him into many movies.
>>222539311>he hasnt seen johnny mnemonickys
>>222541822for a homo like you it would be, homo
For me it's Otani Oniji III.
>>222539409i enjoyed it for what it is. im always interested how the yakuza is depicted in contemporary japanese fiction
>>222539214japanese movies and tv shows are joke nowactors barelly can act, Takayuki Yamada probably is the last who was fine in it.So compare to it Takeshi is a good actor and good director.idk why this happened, probably because of monopoly and low salaries
>>222540626for me, it's bottom right
Cast him.
>>222541884>im always interested how the yakuza is depicted in contemporary japanese fictionSo just play the Yakuza video games?
>>222541890the asian actors in tokyo vice were top notch
>>222541916You'll need to say who it is first.
>>222541921sure but i like many different takes
>>222541923top in what? watching in camera with pokerface?
It's so cool that this guy opened your country and taught everyone English. He was great in New Vegas.
>>222540165how did mifune rank
>>222541931I'm white and I don't know. They all look the same to me.
>>222541958try not speedwatching the show
>>222542000Dunno. Watch and find out for yourself.https://www.gakiarchives.com/video/927
>>222541923you basically proved my point. Takayuki Yamada is 42 yo.the cast of vice is 45+
>>222542000He didn't rank at all. They only counted people who were still living.
FYI America is selling fake Strong Zero made with vodka, and it's 5% ABV instead of 9%.
>>222539214Why isn't he a cartoon?
>>222542083alcohol is for retards
He was on an insane run in the 90s. Just one hit after the other. And then it was over. The Outrage movies are fun but ultimately they're schlock.
>>222542117I'm not browsing through the Shinjuku Donki at 2AM jetlagged while sober.
>>222542143Battle Royale was a hit in the 00s.
>>222542191He didn't direct that though, he was just playing a supporting character.
>>222542052Shô Kasamatsu was good. not excellent but good.
>>222541921Videogames are for losers.
>>222542284Yeah! You tell em guy who goes on 4chan!!!
>>222542234>the main villain is a supporting character
>>222542311Too close to home, loser?
>>222542323Yeah, because I am a loser. I agree.
>>222542000>>222542061I watched the ranking that included dead people as well and Mifune didn't even make top 100.No one in Japan gives a shit about Mifune.https://www.gakiarchives.com/video/1297

>>222539311wasnt Brothers an American Japanese studio coproduction
>>222541879oh to to to to to to to to
>>222542155I fucking miss Donki.Been over a decade sincr I was in one.(I could say the same of vaginas.)
>>222539214Are Japanese crime films as fun as Hong Kong crime films? There are a lot of great and a lot of terrible Hong Kong movies but I notice they never fail to entertain no matter how fast and loose the plot is. They always have some unpredictable crazy shit that would be too non-crowd pleasing or shocking for a Western film outside of exploitation and the stunts and choreography are something that can't and probably shouldn't be matched today because it's too dangerous and time consuming. I love the slapstick cringey humor and there's absolutely no filter or pc sentiments. I don't expect that in Japanese stuff I kind of expect it to be melodramatic and very serious. I have just downloaded Sonantine this is my first Japanese crime kino... Thoughs, questions, concerns, insults?
bakayarou *slaps you on the back of the head*
>>222541884>>222541921Video games are for nerds! Watch Akiba Maid War the Aryanime.
>>222541921Are there any Yakuza games that have less dialogue? I liked Yakuza 0 for awhile but I dropped it because the dialogue became extremely tedious and repetitive. The beginning of the game was amazing then it got bogged down with errand running, boring random encounter fights every 3 meters, and snail pace exposition by dialogue.You know what? I'm just going to play Spike Out
>>222544861>the stunts and choreography are something that can't and probably shouldn't be matched todayWatch more Indian cinema

>>222545047I haven't watched any. I don't even get what point you're trying to make.
>>222545047Fuck off Rajesh.
>>222545130Trillions of dollars of cash n culture injection from Britain.
>>222541867His cameo is completely cut from the european/american cut.
>>222545130I like how the credits of evey HK kino 1987-1993 has Ray Bans and some local rich ppl hair salon in the credits. Extremely kino.
>>222542315yes that's how movies work
>>222539214Can´t say i much care for him. I´ve seen a few of his movies like Battle Royale, Zatoichi or Violent Cop back in the day and they are exactly what you´d expect. Fun, blood, overacting. I´m personally more into Mamoru Oshii and the like than into that but he is ok.
>>222545273No it isn't. The main villain is a main character.
>>222545298it really depends neither of you iz right but you iz both twiztid and siqq doodz

I'm American and this is my favorite Japanese actor.
>>222545501ONE THING I DON'T KNOW WHY
Guys help me gaslight this dude into thinking Fred Durst sang for Linkin Park. Please.
It's a shame almost none of his movies are available in good quality. No, 1080p is not good quality.
>>222545501He was podesta's nephew and he was in a new metal band but he suicided a few years back I think the band was called lincoln park
>>222545501>>222545404Why do ESLs hate humor?

>>222545691>t. angry unfunny retard>>222545785Namaste, Sempai
>>222545363It´s a Mamoru Oshii movie. Oshii´s narrative style of contemplation and introspection is inherently Japanese. The only director more Japanese than him would be Yazujiro Ozu himself.
>>222539214Kubi made 13m in Japan for showing Nobunaga mounting a black man
>>222539214Japanese people can't type English that well, Grug.
>>222545804It means I only speak english.Because there's 0 reason for me to learn any other language.
>>222545925Your parents must be disappointed you don't learn their language.
>>222545925I always had a hard time learning languages, and I thought I was just retarded, but it turned out I had epilepsy in the language center of my brain.
>>222545965My parents also only speak english. Sorry Rajesh.
he's great
Tatsuya Nakadai is the best Japanese actor and probably the best actor alive
This thread again? I found out about him because my Japanese gf made me watch a show where a bunch of comedians put up $5000 of their own money and move into a house together--whoever doesn't laugh gets the money at the end. There was a half-black guy and they kept making fun of his lips and dark skin; shit was hilarious. That same gf also took me to a film festival of old Japanese movies and we saw Sonatine.
>>222546023Okay but you don't know what Linkin Park is and you think "EOP" means something it doesn't.I clocked you as a foreigner instantly.
>>222545995WTF leave Babymetal alone!>>222546059Zoomers would literally cumshit into their diaper thongs if they beheld that drip.
Linkin Park has their own Zaku or whatever the fuck this is. It might be from SEED. Anyway they are 100% a Japanese group.
>>222546433>you think "EOP" means something it doesn't>he doesn't play online games
uh oh, can someone tell him>>222546161
>>222546517looks like a zord gundam hybrid (theory)>>222546594>>he doesn't play online gamesNo I don't. Wanna contribute some more evidence you're a foreign nerd? You got me shitting n pissing myself.
>>222539214Wish some of Takeshi's movies would end up in criterion collection. I really want to own Brother (2000).
>>222546664>he thinks Americans don't play online gamesJust keep digging that hole anon.
I don't get it
We ever go to karaoke I'll hit ya with the 上を向いて歩こう. 一人ぼっちの夜~
>>222546756Guys! It's Fred Durst!

Only current Japanese person I care about. Honorary American now, I you ask me
>>222546824Its pasta, newfag.
I can't believe Chester Bennington died on Japan Air Lines Flight 123. ;_;
>>222546164What was that show? I need a laugh. Wasnt a Downtown thing was it?
>>222546843probably a zoomer pasta if i don't recognise it
>>222546756I hope I never experience karaoke in person.

>>222546164How new are you? It's a /tv/ classic
>>222547307This looks better than a modern movie.This is cringe kino. Japanese Karaoke is just unbearable cringe torture.
The only beat takeshi film i've watched is kikojiro
>>222548020It's a good film
Love this guy. MXC was his magnum opus.
Great thread, guys. My favorite part was when the one gay kid said he liked a cartoon director better than a real director.
>>222548303>MXC was his magnum opusI hope you get AIDS.
>>222539214>I am Japanese. I live in Japan.
>>222548377I love him and I regret nothing.
>>222548570You wish you were as cool as Ken-sama.
>>222546756fuck that ching chong SHIT it's called SUKIYAKI
>>222548917how did this image ever start to make the rounds? it's so obviously not him. also the original ken-sama was married in the first place.
>>222540088How did my boy Ken Watanabe do? Everyone in Japan loved The Last Samurai.
>>222549141>it's so obviously not him.especially as he died in the 2011 Fukushima tsunami, saving Japanese pre-schoolers.
>>222549141they all look alike
>>222549225>It's been 15 years since Ken-sama's deathThis can't be possible, what the fuck am I doing here.
>>222548917guy on the left is modeling a kimono his wife madeYes a neckbeard fat fuck American is still a catch in Japan because he won't drink and smoke all day and treat women like shit
>>222549212Didn't make the list.Which means Japan doesn't give a shit about him.
>>222549141>>222549362>here's the real story behind the memeFuck off you newfags.
>>222549582Wtf, This is some zoomer shit, they only asked hillbillies or kids. it ain't possible the top icons of Japanese culture aren't making it to the list.
>>222549656>the top icons of Japanese culture>according to retarded AmericansYou don't know anything about Japanese culture.
>>222540088Where did Onosato place? Kotozakura?
>>222549791Not on the list. Not a single sumo wrestler was on the list.
>>222549819>Not a single sumo wrestler>Japan's most respected athletesThis is 100% chinese psyop.
Kitano is actually a genius artist. Not just Yakuza guy or comedian. Picrel
>>222541848Thinking the same here, too random and inorganic garbage
>>222549874Sumo has declined in the last couple of decades. No one watches it anymore.That's why when you watch, all you see in the spectators is old people.>Japan's most respected athletesThat would be baseball and soccer nowadays.
>>222549933No, you only see old people in the audience because1. Tickets are expensive2. All the good tickets are reserved by boomers with connections
>>222549819Absolutely tragic
>>222550023Cope and seethe. Or just watch the Wednesday Downtown episode yourself and see that there's no sumo wrestlers in their list.
>>222549656Why do you assume everyone is a cinephile?How many people below 40 do you think are recognizing Jimmy Stewart or Charlton Heston by their face alone? It's the same way over there.
>>222550193Who the fuck doesn't know Charlton Heston?
>>222550422Anyone under 30.
>>222549362>he won't drink and smoke all day and treat women like shitit's the low t levels
>>222549618hi grampa
>>222550484>t. 5'8" 115lbs 28" chest
>>222551109what are those measurements in non retarded units?
>>222541848Yeah, but it's a slow thing.They set the bots to make threads, and the bots just pull a static phrase and picture and make the thread.It's really slow on /tv/, the bot use. Mostly used to winnow the real posters into preapproved discussion threads and then closely moderate the human's speech.
>>222547035I think it's either the first or second season. That link has spoilers for who wins if you look at the seasons though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Documental
>>222539214Not true, he's beloved in Japan. So much so that he had additional scenes added in Johnny Mnemonic just for the Japanese release.>>222545252He's in it, but in a far smaller role than in the Japanese version.
>>222539214>Do you like this acter? In Japan he is no person. No one likes him. Because he's Korean? He looks Korean. He's got that big blocky head.
>>222553143Japs and koreans look very similar
>>222553431No they don't.
>>222551175>t. 5'8" 115lbs 28" chest
>>222553451Yes they do. They even marry each other thinking they're the same and then get surprised.Watch some videos where asians have to guess what other asians are. They get it wrong 50% the time.
>>222553451They've been mixing and colonizing each other for thousands of years, weeb.
>>222554151>amerifats still measure things with their thumbs and their feetthis will never not be funny
>>222554169>>222554180but for the record he looks Japanese not Korean imo
>>222554184We use a grain of rice to measure your benis.
>>222554184
>>222554238thats fucking rude
>>222542581The only person I met in Japan who knew Mifune was a middle aged woman who I spoke to about samurai movies for a bit. Strange how people really don't know him anymore. At least they still like Takuya Kimura.That lady tried to get me to join her cult btw
>>222554382Watch >>222542581And tell me where Takuya Kimura ranked.I'm busy atm and cannot.
>>222546161I would say he is the best actor ever. Harakiri is easily a top 3 film of all time and it's probably not second or third. My fav performance of his though has to be Kagemusha. I wish his films were easier to show to people because any time I try to introduce someone to them they think I am insane.
>>222554246Yeah, he should have left that aids blood soaked commie rag at home.
>>222554382>cult >:/>cult japan :OWhat kind of cult?
>>222541130Hot.
>>222554522I think it was just the type where you show up at a building, repeat a bunch of mantras and prayers and get given "blessings", then you give them all your money just because you want to. She warned me to stay away from any temples and shrines which was pretty funny because I had been to like 20 by that point.
>>222554610yeah I guess cults are either that or a guy buttfucking them after forcing sleep deprivation
>>222554610What reason did she give for claiming the shrines are bad? I imagine the cult just told her that so she would stay with them.
>>222555039I think she really did believe in all the shit the cult had imparted on her. If she didn't, she would just be trying to get me to join. But she showed genuine interest in making me avoid buddhist or shinto places of worship, like she really believed they were bad for you. Made me kind of sad because I thought I might be making an obaasan friend before she went into the cult business.
>>222555096Yeah they wouldn't be in the cult if they didn't fall for it. That's sad. I have a Chinese ladyfriend who is like 15 years older than me and we talk about Hong Kong movies from the 80s lol.
>>222554184Yes, its the system you used before becoming an Islamic republic.
>>222555164Sounds based. I'm getting into Hong Kong action cinema but would love to see other genres too. Just need a Chinese grandma to be my guide.
>>222555236Imagine using a metric tape measure lmao
>>222555236VIETNAMESE FARMERS
>>222555372Shitposting aside, tape measure in the US has both imperial and metric on it.
>>222554202I've seen koreans who look just like him, he could be either, but he would stand out in China probably
>>222555418those exist in europe too. important for playing 40K
>>222539214you are not japanese private paco
>>222555361I really like the girls with guns action stuff and horror comedies. Moon Lee, Yukari Oshima, Sharla Cheung, Cynthia Khan, Chingmy Yao, Maggie Cheung, Cherie Cheung...Iron Angels trilogy is kinoHere's some hooker kino (they have an amazing amount of movies about call girls and they are all tragic)https://youtu.be/js9oRmISyZQ?si=7LK8NMuDR4zceUaYThis channel is pretty great. https://youtu.be/AIJeFxZKzJc?si=TXDqCxjvu3FHNISDthis one is about a deranged sex killer and it's mentalhttps://youtu.be/yG1A98G90uw?si=cs387ArPysDUTp6nSandra Ng is in a lot of funny shit with ghosts and vampires I've noticedNever watch Mandarin dubs only original Cantonese audio or you will be haunted by ancient Cantonese ghosts...
>>222555418>>222555450Yeah, we can get anything in the USA and we use Metric and Standard depending on what we're doing turdies can't grasp that. The tape measures I use for carpentry and cabinetry have standard on both edges but I have seen ones that have metric on one side. That would just be inconvenient for wood working.
We already have a world class Japanese actor.
