I'm in the mood for some ridiculous cinema.

Something (but not limited to) along the lines of this;

battle royale

to lazy to get poster

[meteorite_flo]

K-20 - hero type of movie, pretty cool.
Black Kiss - thriller
Crows Zero 1 and 2 - based on manga also, this one is about gangs at different schools.
20th Century Boys - based on a manga, has 2 movie's out so far and I believe there's one more in the making.
Detroit Metal City - Funny as hell
GO! - About a half Japanese/Korean dude.
The longest night in Shanghai - About a Japanese guy lost in China, meets a taxi driver that doesn't speak Japanese.
Cyborg She - This is pretty funny/sad with action in it.
Handsome Suit - Funny as HELL
Sweet Rain - has a nice twist to it, about a death god, something similar to death note in a way.
Suspect X - about a killer, some what of a mystery type of movie I guess.
Nana 1 and 2 - Based off of manga/anime, Part 1 was the only one I liked, after that 2 was just retarded.

Most of these titles you can wiki them if you want more info on them.

And for Shinobi, you got to watch that on blu-ray man.

Casshern- anime type story with tons of CG effects and fighting.

I like watching some of the Japanese 'shock' cinema occasionally.
most of it is crappy but some throughly entertaining.

Watched 'Tokyo Gore Police' earlier this year from same maker as 'Machine Girl'.

Big Man Japan (mockumentary) wasn't bad either, albeit a little slow at times.

Icchi The Killer - mindless violence and gore
Audition - freaky shit
Battle Royale (I'll repeat even though it's been mentioned already)
Old Boy - Korean revenge flick (I recommend the rest of the Revenge Thrilogy aswell)

[S14_Kouki]

Has everyone forgot about Shaolin Soccer and kung fu hustle some of the best.

Shinjuku incident - jackie chan's new movie based on the mass chinese immigration during the 90's in japan. its pretty good but dont expect a normal jackie chan movie though. good none the less

Old Boy was pretty good.

In a messed up way.

Haha I love that movie.

So random, constant plot manipulation, close range .50 cal sniper rifle kills... Gold.

Is this Japanese only, or just asian movies in general?

I must recommened a movie called "Bullet in the Head". It was a good movie as I remember it. Don't remember if it was Japanese though, it may have been Chinese.
*EDIT* Yes it's Chinese :)

This thread is rather hype...

I'm going to check out a few of these titles that I haven't seen...

[coww-cho!!!!!]

if you're into horror/ghost telling stories i prefer Thai movies, but now im definitely gonna check some of these out

[meteorite_flo]

Old Boy was pretty good.

In a messed up way.

Old boy is actually a Korean movie. BUT it's based off of a Japanese manga.

BTW, some of you are posting up non-Japanese movies.

[Mister.E]

Machine Girl was epic on a ridiculous level. if you havent watched it yet you really should

[Shaminii]

Where can I get or watch these movies?

[soreballz]

Icchi The Killer - mindless violence and gore.
Yes!

http://zilvia.net/f/off-topic-chat/267247-takashi-miike-films.html

ichi the killer, so sweet
Again, YES!

ohhhh yeeaahh

http://upieksanupiek.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/suicide_club.jpg
And... YES.


That is all I have to contribute. I am American, and only speak English, and generally don't give two flying fucks about things I don't understand with my ears, thus, I have a very limited knowledge of foreign films. But, those two... Awesome.

ichi the killer, so sweet

+7234987. by far the best mix of gore, sex, guns, drugs and random wtf? shit you could ask for.
(ass ladling? yes. )

[akai-oni]

The best Japanese movies I have seen recently are:

Okuribito (Departures)
Tokyo Sonata
Adrift in Tokyo

However, these aren't exactly action movies.

[DataXUnknown]

Just watched Azumi, Shinjuku Incident, and Returner the last few days (because of this thread). I've seen fighter in the wind, that was good from what I remember. Next up is Suicide Club.

Azumi - Hottie, pretty typical storyline but with some interesting twists and a good plot. Well executed and overall movie. Made me sad in a lot of parts.

Shinjuku Incident - Jackie Chan, as usual pretty decent movie. Very yakuza/mafia oriented. Could have used a lot more Jackie Chan-type stunts and fighting though. Overall I was disappointed at the fight scenes, but I liked the storyline of the whole Chinese immigrant thing.

Returner - Pretty badass, cool looking guy (wish I looked like him). Kinda weird, but a good movie overall. Don't know how to explain this one, I guess your typical badass guy with guns vs. the evil guy with one deadly magnum (I think it was a magnum) and little girl interferes and shows the truth, pisses off the evil guy.

Ok I just finished watching "Suicide Circle" and I'm hoping I got the wrong one because that movie fucking sucked ass. The worst foreign movie I've ever seen in my life!

Just to be sure, is there a band called "Dessert" in the movie? The movie being posted earlier reads "Suicide Club (Suicide Circle)". The movie I watch was released in 2002. Same movie, or no?

[phillofdfuture]

Old Boy was pretty good.

In a messed up way.

ya definitely messed up LOL
but watch it...pretty good

[simmode1]

Just downloaded this: Goemon
http://lh6.ggpht.com/_E-jLE0ZqPjA/Skry4i6pjuI/AAAAAAAAAE0/xFWTnfDunK4/s800/goemon.jpg

Can't wait to watch it... Looks like a Japanese 'Robin Hood' story with badass ninjas and samurais in it... Anybody seen it yet?

[phillofdfuture]

just watched 13 games of death...i really liked it :)

Its pretty fucking awesome.

[meteorite_flo]

The guy that directed casshern made goemon, it's a pretty cool movie so far. I say that because I watched the movie and fell asleep on it. But so far it was good. I plan on finishing it sometime soon. I dunno me and my girl watching movie's don't really mix; we fuck most of the time. TMI!

BTW: get goemon on bluray it's the shiznitz.

[napaKAliboog]

AHAHAH It's probably not "japanese" enough but BLACK RAIN is a good movie =0)

Just watched "Thirst" which was the same director of oldboy...not too bad...lots of moral dilemmas

[ManoNegra]

Suicide Club - hmmm.... a decent film but not really a ass-kicking one
The Host - good film, Cloverfield redux
just saw Audition again over the break, a lot of win in that film

has someone mentioned Battle Royal yet?
Zaitoichi The Blind Samurai(?)
John Woo's 1989 The Killer starring Chow Yun-Fat

[ronmcdon]

'The Killer' is from Hong Kong.
That's entirely different from Japanese films.

Geez, you guys are probably thinking all Asians are the same.

[Siphter]

Save our Green Planet
Ichi The Killer
Tokyo Gore Police
Robo Geisha (lol)
Uzumaki
Another Heaven
Audition

I'm Latin, so no offense but yes, to me Asian films are Asian films.
Some other Korean films have already been mentioned.
As long as it's a good film I don't care where it's from.
:bow:

[tricky_ab]

Here are a few more titles that you guys should check out...
-Oldboy
-Tokyo Gore Police
-Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
-Lady Vengeance
-Audition
