Beat Takeshi’s critically acclaimed yakuza film OUTRAGE (90% Rotten Tomatoes score) is opening today in NYC and here LA at the Nuart and is available on-demand throughout the country.
Love Kitano! There’s something mesmerizing in the way he seems to handles extreme situations with such zen composure. First time I noticed him in a movie was Battle Royale, I loved him after watching the Blind Swordsman
He’s that funny old uncle you love hearing stories from!
I have been waiting for Beat to return to his origins for some time with an all out action yakuza flick, and I can’t wait to see this. He is quite easily one of the most talented and diverse film makers ever. I’m sure this will live up to classics like Violent Cop and Sonatine. I’d like to see some of the Hollywood directors keep up with a guy that paints, writes, makes movies, tv shows etc. and is genuinely funny to boot when he turns his hand to comedy (Glory to the Filmmaker!). Awesome. Can’t wait. Thanks for posting about this, I’m going to keep an eye out for it. I hope it makes it to the UK.
Hey there, you have a typo too in the description:
“Are you a Takeshi Kitani Fan?”
Should be Kitano.
Keep up the great work. I loved visiting your store when I was in California earlier this year. Picked up a few t-shirts and stickers. Hope to make it back out there soon and will be sure to swing by again and buy some stuff.
Listen to me, I will say it once, and only once. Give me this poster, and you won’t die.
Kitano is one of my favorite actors ever, ever since I watched Battle Royale, I’ve followed his work over the years, not one bad film, he’s an absolute legend,and extremely underrated, Outrage is a masterpiece, and I can’t wait for the sequel!

Movie’s overrated. Go watch Sonatine instead.
well, kitano is my favourite director. over the time he gradually climbed over the french masters that he was inspired by many times. i have yet to see 2 of his works to complete his filmography. i have seen outrage, it was quite beautiful actually. im also very excited about the upcoming feature that will star kitano and tadanobu asano, who are easily the best japanese actors right now and i havent seen them together yet.
Hi i am Beat “yo ass down”Takeshi, would you like a knuckle sandwich ?
You have three cavities and gum disease. Hand me the drill.
Ode to Takeshi Kitano
Kitano lights up
Chuck Norris hana-bi style
Then smokes his ashes
Honestly i just want the poster, can’t wait for Outrage 2 in 2012.
Beat Takeshi…amazing actor, even better director….horrible dentist.
“The night security man at her hotel looks like a younger, slightly less approachable version of Beat Takeshi, the Japanese actor whose existential gangster films have been the favorites of two former boyfriends. Ferociously upright and tightly buttoned into an immaculate black blazer, he leads her into the elevator and up to her room.”

I remember discovering Giant Robot magazine back in the mid 90s. I was at the Amoeba Records not far from campus. It was the only American periodical that had anything on HK cinema at the time. Seeing Chow Yun Fat on the cover of a non Chinese magazine blew me away. Spent all my lunch money on it that day ($4 went a long way back then). Up until that point, I had been showing the old Jackie Chan and John Woo movies I’d taped from the local Chinese channel to my friends and they wanted to see and know more of this awesomeness, and the magazine was passed around amongst them until the pages were worn. Giant Robot was like the internet for cool Asian stuff before everyone had internet. Good old days.
I don’t know if the contest is over but I love Takeshi Kitano. I am currently reading “Beat Takeshi vs. Takeshi Kitano” and he is one of the most interesting/innovative person of our time. I love everything he creates from art to comedy.
Watch it at Shattuck Cinema last week. Awesome. So happy to have been able to see his film on the big screen here.
