Hate to bump shitty thread, but I have to get this out of my system. It pisses me off how much they fucked this movie up.
I love Takashi Miike. And I absolutely adore Quentin Tarantino. But I hated this movie so much that while watching it I just felt like clawing my fucking eyes out. I couldn't even get through the whole thing.
It pisses me off so much because it should be a good movie. It's got violent, bloody, wonderfully shot action scenes, it's got some nice cinematography, and just the concept of this whole fusion western/samurai universe just kicks ass! It had so much potential, and I really, really, really want to say that I like it. There's just one thing.
But why the fuck did they have to film it in FUCKING ENGRISH??!!!!
They literally got a bunch of non-English speaking Japanese actors, and made them speak broken English for the ENTIRE FUCKING MOVIE!!! It wouldn't be so bad if there was little dialogue, but there is so much talking in this movie - characters have fucking MONOLOGUES!!
The dialogue is amazingly surreal too - there's this one would-be-awesome scene where the main villain explains to his subordinates that from that moment on, he shall be known as "Henry," after reading Shakespeare's play "Henry VI - and I know it's amazingly quirky and unique and awesome. But the way it's said... could they not have filmed the movie in Japanese? Or if they really wanted the language to reflect the films setting of "Nebada," why couldn't they get a bunch of Japanese-American actors?
Gorrammit, Takashi Miike, why did you have to do this? Such a brilliant, innovative idea, made near-unwatchable by your stupid, retarded experiment? Ugh.
