As for beat takeshi I dont know if you know but he is actually a comedian. I was supprised to find this out when I moved to japan. He was such a hard core bad azz in brother but when he is on tv everyday he dresses in a really degrading costume and wears that bowl cut hair style of one of the three stooges. I think zatoich really embodied japanese culture, humor, and alot of stuff that us westerners dont pick up unless you spend too much time in japan like me lol. I think that is what takeshi was going for, but he does have a violent streak in him. As for me I cant wait to see the grudge ( in japan it is called the juon lol) Like I said before I dont care much for japanese movies I think american remakes are always better but that is just my opinion. The japanse peoples jaws just drop when I say that. They dont think american movies are scarry at all. There is a new movie comming out here called kokkuri san. IT looks really scarry. You should try to see if you can get your hands on that.
