(Amazing artwork there!)

And here's the info from the film's original and official press release:

FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ‘AUDITION’ AND ‘ICHI THE KILLER’.

Sex, gore, ultra-violence, psychotic Yakuza hitmen, the blackest of humour, Sonny Chiba, a pounding proto-metal soundtrack and gratuitous and inappropriate use of a tire iron and a hand-held rocket launcher – it just has to be a movie from Japan’s most prolific and unpredictable cult filmmaker and master of Asian extreme cinema, Takashi Miike (Sukiyaki Western Django; Ichi The Killer; the Dead Or Alive trilogy; Audition).

Written by Shigenori Takechi (Blood; Izo) and produced by Tsuneo Seto (Blood) – both real-life Yakuza before taking up careers in the movies – Takashi Miike’s Deadly Outlaw: Rekka is an expertly crafted tale of vengeance and betrayal set in Japan’s vicious criminal underworld.

Following the death of his boss, crazed killer Kunisada embarks on a violent quest for revenge, one that takes him on a deadly and surreal road trip as he searches for those responsible for the killing. Driven by madness and a volatile temper, he soon finds himself up against both his enemies and his own Yakuza allies. Pursued by a pair of hitmen, Kunisada is at once the hunter and the hunted, a pawn in a complex game being played out by a cast of double-crossing villains. With his situation spiralling out of control, he realizes that to be the winner will require him to take matters to furthest extreme.

Stylistically inspired by Japanese hard rock pioneers Flower Travellin’ Band’s 1971 album, ‘Satori’, the music of which constitutes the film’s entire soundtrack, Deadly Outlaw: Rekka is a must-see (and must hear) movie for Takashi Miike fans. Featuring a standout lead performance by frequent Miike collaborator Riki Takeuchi (the Dead Or Alive trilogy; the Fudoh trilogy), plus amusing fan-pleasing cameos from the legendary Sonny Chiba (Kill Bill) and Flower Travellin’ Band members Joe Yamanaka and Yuya Ichida, this is pure visual ‘Rock and roll!’

Deadly Outlaw: Rekka (cert. 18) will be released on DVD (£15.99) by Arrow Video on 22nd November 2010. Special Features include: brand new transfer of the film with new and improved subtitle translation; original trailer; video interview with director Takashi Miike; ‘Deadly Outlaw: Miike’ – Takashi Miike discusses key scenes from the film and working with his collaborators; booklet featuring stills and an essay on the film by Tom Mes, author of ‘Agitator: The Cinema of Takashi Miike’; notes on prog rockers Flower Travellin’ Band, the stars and providers of the soundtrack to the film, written by [Cult Labs' very own] Sam Jones.

And here's the film's trailer:

GOOD LUCK!


Kyle :cool:

"Your pitiful noodles dishonour me!"
"Let me show you how to make noodles properly, by carving wood from this chair..."

:pound: A very good start already.


Oh, and if anyone can genuinely read that, please share with us what it really means.

"Do you sometimes feel like your abusive life is straight out of a comic strip?....."

"....Well that's cos it is and there ain't nothing you can do about it, so sit down and shut up"

"Attention! Playing the Nintendo Wii can be dangerous, always be careful when others are in close proximity."

"and remember. If you lose a game, always blame your wife. That's what she's there for"

"I don't have time to eat!"
"Now get out of my way while I carry on working on the stairlift!"

"How do you expect me to eat when I can't even sit down? We only have one chair!!!"
"I'm sick of carrying this thing up and down the stairs all the time!"

"Why are you talking like that? Can't you tell I'm not Japanese???!!!"

You did what? You sold the rights to Oldboy to Hollywood, you have destroyed all that is holy.

I break you like I break chair. Did you not see Ring remake? F*ck you and f*ck Hollywood.


The third frame was pulled from print as it was deemed too violent to be in public domain. Let's just say when her husband heard Will Smith had been cast as the lead it was a step too far!

"Owww! WTF is this weird yellow spiky thing on my leg????"

"Hold still! It's on your back now. I'll try and cut it off!"

1. i said uncle bens fried rice not bachelors

2. how dare you say they are the same....they are not, now i attack you for dishonouring uncle bens....

""You put me on a diet of melon! Here bitch take that! Whoever thought this was a bowl of noodles must have drawn this dire attempt at a comic strip!"

"Husband your knife is no match for my exploding back!"

:rolleyes:

If I get it "genuinely" translated K, do I win? My other half's sister teaches in Japan.

:nod:

Women's Period Warnings

"I've told you once already to try this facial cleanser to help with that enormous spot on your forehead, that Nivea stuff just didn't work for last months breakout"

"How many times do I have to ask you to stop doing handstands against the damn wall just cos it's your time of the month?......... I don't care if it eases the pain!"

Nice try! :laugh: I doubt it would win unless it is actually funnier than everyone elses entries. It'll be interesting to see what it actually means.

By the way, these entries are excellent guys - all of them are so funny ALREADY! It's gonna be a toughie picking the winners.

"The reason why men shouldn't be allowed in the kitchen"

1 panel. "Eat you salad!!!!"

2 panel. "I told you to sit down and eat!!!!"

"Two easy steps for breaking up with your girlfriend"

Step 1. Throw anything she makes you back in her face. She should start to get the hint that somethings up. The harder the better; really work on your throw.
If regular instances of step 1 do not cause her to leave then move on to step two.

Step 2. Chase your beloved out of the house. The crazier the better as a frightened woman is sure to leave. Usually waving a knife and chair around does the trick. And remember, make sure to cut her a few times for effect.

1. Ever feel like you want to just throw something at a loved one?

2. Or chase them down the stairs?
Looks like you have martial arts addiction. Call 0390005 for help.

BITCH! What do you mean your pregnant, didn't know I've had the snip did you!!!

[QUOTE=iluvdvds@Cult Labs;112657]Nice try! :laugh: I doubt it would win unless it is actually funnier than everyone elses entries. It'll be interesting to see what it actually means.

Judging by the Japanese language it could well be funnier! I reckon it's probably some public information notice about the perils of a wife cooking badly! I wouldn't be half surprised! Hopefully I will get an update soon from the Land Of The Rising Sun! Stay tuned.

[QUOTE=Sargento;112702]I could be wrong but I thought it was Chinese.

:laugh: Maybe it is Chinese. I have no idea.

[QUOTE=Inspector Tanzi;112707]I have no idea to be fair Tanz .. kinda clutching at straws me is!!!

Oooh, now you have given me an idea! There is a lovely Chinese lady at work .....

"Kangmei .. come here, can you translate this for me?"

Mwwwwahhhhhhhh!!! (that's my evil laugh by the way!) :shocked:

Careful who you ask - for all I know it could be highly offensive :laugh:

"Damn woman! What the hell you think you doin! Now bitch, go back in the kitchen and cook me those noodles properly!"

"So what the fook you call this sheet! My balls won't even fit on this chair! Go back and get me a better chair"

No more offensive than what he normally says!!

1. "How dare you accuse me of being misogynistic!"
2. "You've got red on you."

1. Woman: "Help, I seem to have a bowl of salad stuck in my eye!"
Man: "Oh here, let me help!"

2. Woman: "Help, I seem to have a sea urchin stuck on my shoulder!"
Man: "What is wrong with you? Here, just hold still..."

Title: How to spot if people are really killer robots.

Frame 1: The sure fire give away for a male robot is when angry his 'groin gun' will fire uncontrollably

Frame 2: For the female robot, when scared their 'back bazooka' will fire hoping to scare off would be attackers.

"how can you expect me to eat when so many people in the world are starving to death?"

"and what did i tell you about buying furniture from ikea?"

Ouch Bruty! Will be having words with you young man!

:mmph:

"Why are you f****** wearing that? I HATE cardigans!"

"Come here, i'm gonna slice it up and burn it with the firewood I'm making from this chair!"

Title: Beware the Interlopers From the West

1. "Do not feed the foreign devils cabbage and watermelon. They thoroughly dispise both and will become possessed by the spirit of a drunken Mel Gibson, causing anything they throw at you to produce a small explosion slightly in front of your breasts. This will not be pleasant"

2. "The situation will become more unpleasant when he chases you down the stairs with a chair and the sushi knife you gave him to chop his watermelon. He will strike you on your back with the knife, causing your back to explode and blood to spray in the opposite direction onto the wall. Most unpleasant of all, red colour from your jumper will inexplicably drip onto your new trousers and they will be ruined."


P.S: I do think the man looks more Western!

Charlie Sheen discusses the fine etiquette of dealing with a spouse.

1.If you don't like something she cooked send it back and let her know you don't like it she'll appreciate you more for it

2.A nice pat on the back may provide a temporary increase of obedience however a good old knife in the back is something she will never forget.

1. Woman: "Wow! This 3D film is so good I can almost feel the noodles hit me in the face!"

2. Woman: "This film may be rough, but it's better than Avatar. That one REALLY hurt."
