Why the hell didn't I see this movie back when it came out in 2006? How is it possible that I went over three years unexposed to this awesome movie?
I bought this movie the other day, thinking it was going to be dumb, and it totally is. But not the 'dumb' I was expecting it to be. For those who have seen it, I'm sure you already know that the story in the movie is complete nonsense, but everything else about it just screamed "KEEP WATCHING!". This movie is so goddamn entertaining.
Everything from the completely unapologetic sexism to the astronomical amount of cheesy facial expressions was amazing. How the movie segues from action sequence to action sequence WHILST exploring the vast world of Japanese (or Asian in general) stereotypes is fully amusing.
Also, the events from the protagonist's view are pretty much every gaijin's wet dream. Dude goes to Japan, drives sick cars,
And the guy on the left (pic below) throughout the entire movie MERCILESSLY and SMUGLY squints his eyes and sashays his head during conversation in an "I'm the shit." fashion the entire goddamn movie. If that's not enough to make you want to watch this movie again and again...then you're probably sane with well adjusted movie tastes. But I fucking loved it.
This movie is awesome. I want to get it on Blu-ray now.
