This is the funniest videogame adaptation I've ever seen

if you enjoy this kind of dumb bullshit you need to watch the director's other movies he's genuinely an insane person

I might have to do this actually

Is there any you reccomend, I was going to try Yakuza apocalypse

me myself I've been looking into his mpd psycho miniseries I haven't watched it yet cause I might to buy it in 20 year old dvds

@Quiet2049 Umbrella is releasing the mini series on blu-ray in November. You could get them then

@Quiet2049 no way that's sick kinda crazy they decided to rerelease that

Majima peeking at kiryu in the hallway with his BLIND eye is genuinely hilarious

Miike will never direct a "normal" Yakuza movie ever (or a normal movie in general) and that's why he's the goat

Most accurate game portrayal ever

love this movie! i got footage from when my friend and i saw that scene for the first time and lost it

You should watch the dead or alive movies also directed by miike

miike when tasked with directing any movie

Miike's the GOAT of j-schlock, you NEED to see Dead or Alive (1999) and Ichi the Killer (2001) if you haven't

@HeWhoGazes This is raw as fuck

See, the Amazon show should’ve been a cheesy action drama instead of Japanese riverdale

this is how yakuza should be adapted

This is a Miike movie indeed 🤤

Actually such a golden adaptation

this is also referenced in the stage plays where everyone but kiryu freeze frames, the music goes into the background and he leisurely shows the audience the staminan spark, unscrews the cap and has a sip, huffs to himself, then unpauses the game to whack a goon in the face

Takashi Miike has never missed even on his bad movies he is making it worth watching

Did you catch how he does a heat action and the radio weatherman notes how Tokyo just jumped up 3 degrees

I like to imagine it’s just mild pain relievers but he fucking overdoses every single time he uses one

Drinks the Staminan Spark, and instantly hits three Tiger Drops back to back. Oh a real fan made this shit.

Miike is one of the best.

I hope they let Takashi Miike direct another Yakuza film plz

Takashi Miike is one of the best living directors if you accept that he’s made like 140 movies and like 32 are amazing which sounds like a bad ratio but most directors don’t hit that count.

when the true stability hits

Takashi Miike the only dude to ever do video game adaptations ever. Just yeah put a guitar rift every 4 seconds. I love you Mr mike

This guy fights like a dragon

Why didn’t they get a muscular guy to play Kiryu??

THIS, THIS RIGHT HERE is what I want in all adaptations.

faithful adaptation

I like this type of live action where they literally used the game system.

This gives me the same energy that Kung-Fu Hustle

aura

This is the best thing in the universe

Crazy that the guy who plays kiryu in this plays the main xilian in final wars
