Sukiyaki Western Django

This is without doubt one of Takashi Miike best films ever, one of the weirdest over the top westerns ever made with some awesome action, shootouts, violence, funny moments and seriously cool directing and wacky characters and effects, it truly has allot of originality and spark and has to be seen. A great cast too, with a cool cameo from Miike's biggest fan Quentin Tarantino, and what a great cameo it is. For this price if your big on Asian films it's a must.

Takashi miike the master of surreal and crazy film making returns with a japanese take on the western .Taking influences from classic sergio leone films and the lesser known classic Django by italian film maker Sergio Corbucci.Prepare to be blown away by one of the funniest and intresting films of the past few years(well since miikes last film to get a western release).Japanese actors speaking broken engrish does it for me every time ,plus the sound track that plays homage to the original django is superb.Just watch and enjoy:)

Amazing blend of Western and Asian action filmmaking. Visceral set peices, really vibrant colours and a a nice line in dry wit. Pays obvious homage to Django and Yojimbo and Tarantino's involvement interesting as it shows the respect he has for Miike as a director

you can't deny the talent of director Miike, you can't deny that this is a Western, but it is a Miike Western: with the typical twitched edges, the typical japanese accents (a little overacting, the flower as a symbol, the funny english).
nevertheless all the typical western ingredients are also present: the good vs the bad, shoot-outs, the legendary gunfighter that really exists after all, the woman that causes trouble between two parties, .... you name it and it's there, stuffed in this 'crazy' western.
give way to the funny english and you are left with a real western that delivers.
not a disappointment after all, but you have to get used to it.
