anyone seen this insane piece of japanese gore? i watched it twice this weekend - it's really fun to watch with other people - and was quite impressed. Beat Takeshi is actually a really great actor.

a friend of mine brings up the film every time I see him, so I guess I'll be seeing it soon.

Trailer for the sequel looks good too, there are some links to BR sites from ours at paper-jam.co.uk. BR2 is out in Japan soon and will probably be in europe in a couple of months, seems it won't get to America due to the terrorists blowing up buildings in the opening scenes.

I can't quite figure out what the fuss is over this. The violence isn't particularly creative (The Running Man starts from a similar premise and goes far more insanely over the top) and I can't imagine anyone taking it seriously (not anyone who's seen Hana-bi). I guess the premise is everything.
