You can talk about random stuff here - for example, Yui Toshiki's Kagome Kagome, or just other random stuff.

Reborn Samurai fights Yakuza to save the world: Versus

Post by hitori »

A movie for people who like manga style action movies.

I recently got introduced to a Japanese movie called 'Versus'.
It's not particularly a great film but the entertainment value is undeniable.

Here's a bit of the movie's "sales pitch snippet"
"There are 666 portals that connect this world to the other side.
These are concealed from all human beings.
Somewhere in Japan exists the 444th portal.... The forest of resurrection."
Right out of an anime or manga plot, huh? ^^;;
It's got samurai sword battle, yakuza gun fights, cool guys in cool jackets, cute chick, zombies...
Check it out.
The Region 1 title is released by http://www.media-blasters.com/

I bought the Versus Special Edition DVD recently. It's a good movie.
The sword fight in the end is really nice.

On the special edition DVD they show a scene where the main character - Tak Sakaguchi - had to cock a gun using his mouth. They cut the scene out because he broke his tooth when he tried doing it.

There was a dentist on the set when it happened. The dentist told him that they could re-attach his tooth if they went to the hospital right away, or otherwise he would loose the tooth. He couldn't leave because of time constraints, so they re-attached his tooth with superglue onto the exposed nerve. At the same time he also had 3 broken ribs from rolling down a rocky slope. He continued acting despite of all his injuries. (*_*)

Apparently there is going to be a Versus 2.
