Japanese Movie Identification

[jacksplatt11]

Looks good Gok, might have to check it out..

Oh and the movie I was talking about I'm pretty sure is Time and Tide

[GoktimusPrime]

...yeah, that doesn't look Japanese (as per the topic of this thread). You did say Asian though... of course, Kazahkstan is Asian too.

While we are on the topic of Asian movies

ages ago i watched this Korean movie on SBS, about this hitchhiker who travels with this couple, horror & dramatic

any1 know what htis movie is called/?

[roller]

i have a jap film that needs a name

It was really like an X rated blue film

it was set in samurai periods, it featured a widower of a samurai.

A trio i think, of ninja?? sisters who fight some guys. One of them gets turned into a tree and makes out with the enemy.

And there is a white woman who uses 'magic moving picture scroll" to seduce some Dojo master.

Im sure the name of the filum was something like ninja scroll, yes im aware of "Ninja scroll"

Still havent seen Battle Royale

Still havent seen Battle Royale

Blasphemy Roller. Battle Royale is an awesome film and considering some of the youth in our society I'm leaning more and more towards it's whole concept being introduced. We have a 16 yr old apprentice at work who saw me reading a Stephen King novel and he didn't know who he was... So I ask "Do you know who Orson Welles is?"... Can anyone guess his response? I mean the fact that he voiced Unicron is a bonus to us TF fans but this kid from his oh so self obsessed generation wasn't even aware of one of the greatest authors ever. I'll have to take my frustrations out on the younger ones like Roller and Kuzzy next time I see them

Possibly Erotic Ghost Story, it used to spin on World Movies all the time about 12 years ago when it first started up. I don't think I ever actually watched it tho, but I couldn't avoid the promos.

Battle Royale is excellent if somewhat misunderstood. Same with Ichi the Killer.

Heh, you might have to kick your own ass first I think you've confused master movie director/actor Orson Welles (inital broadcast of War of the Worlds) with master author H.G. Wells (writer of War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, The Island of Doctor Moreau, The Invisible Man... ).

Unless you're referring to the movies he wrote (Citizen Cane, Touch of Evil,,,)



+1 for Returner (despite a touch horrific Engrish and I didn't like the ending, although I can't really remember it anymore).

I went on a MASSIVE Asian movie binge about 5 years ago when I got broadband and belonged to some great indie torrent movie sites (, great times for a geek ). The Koreans were really kicking back then too, but there was alot of good stuff available.

Ahh Battle Royale, I've wanted to see it for a while now but never got around too it.. After exams all I do is watch movies so I'll check it out then

I actually was referring to Orson Welles as this kids parents own the local cinema and are big movie buffs (and this is a movie based thread). But after reading this I asked him if he knew who H.G Wells was and got the same stupid blank expression.

EDIT: I have since asked this kid about numerous celebrities over the past century. The only positive response I got was "Michael Jordan... He played basketball right?"

Roller, I think you are searching for: Lady Ninja:Reflections of Darkness. Really bizarre imo hehe.

Now then, im looking for a movie also. Its about a blind swordsman (samurai?) who has bleached-blonde hair and he basically never loses a fight, lol. Anyone got any idea whats it's called? It's only a couple of years old (i think).

Zatoichi, staring none other than the one and only Takeshi Kitano. I believe this movie was based off of a classic Manga? And he's only blind because he chooses to be, as later on he starts using his eyes again for some reason or other.

There needs to be a Japanese Film appreciation thread, unless this current thread can serve a dual purpose...
