The best Japanese movies I have seen recently are:

Okuribito (Departures)
Tokyo Sonata
Adrift in Tokyo

However, these aren't exactly action movies.

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?

Its pretty fucking awesome.

meteorite_flo · 12-26-2009, 05:16 AM

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 · 12-26-2009, 05:48 AM

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

Kougeki · 12-26-2009, 12:40 PM

Sukiyaki Western Django.

Sword of the Stanger (anime, of course)

The Host (Korean, but it's good)

First Squad.
(Nazis, Russians, Zombie thing going on, and GUNS!)

phillofdfuture · 01-03-2010, 10:19 PM

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

*ManoNegra* · 01-03-2010, 10:40 PM

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 · 01-04-2010, 01:06 AM

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

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

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.

tricky_ab · 01-16-2010, 12:14 PM

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