Japanese cinema is some of the rawest forms of entertainment. Here are some examples:

Ichi the killer. I havent seen but want to. it looks like an action packed thrill ride with alot of blood and organs flying everywhere.

Battle Royale
A futuristic look at society in Japan. A movie you have to see to beleive.

If Japanese movies were all you had to watch, you would soon get tired of them. Eventually, you would grow to hate them. In time, you would begin to yearn for movies with Sandra Bullock and/or Billy Crystal in them. And then, someone close to you -- someone who cared enough about you to do it -- would take you out into the woods behind your house and shoot you in the back of the head, execution-style.

Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.

Battle Royale is rad. The manga sucks, though. Don't read it.

---
It's grime time.

Yeah but the novel is better than both of them.

The giant robotic laser cannons were not real. They were only a metaphor for the average Japanese male's feelings of inadequacy when contemplating Caucasian physical endowments. This has confused many viewers.

I was gonna send a robot back in time, but I got high.

Thanks Zaster that cleared everything up for me.
