- Why?

- Must've tried to bank another tourist.

You don't give up, do you, n*gger?

Denny, this is my big brother.

He's here from Japan.

Your brother didn't

run into me yesterday, did he?

He's not the one

who f***ed my eye up, is he?

What?

Didn't meet him yesterday, right?

Didn't cut his eye, right?

All Japanese look the same to you.

You can't tell one from the other.

Maybe so.

Well, shall we go?

Yo, y'all gotta roll without me, man.

This sh*t is hurtin'.

All right. Then you can

hang out with my brother.

But he doesn't speak English.

- What am I supposed to do with him?

- Drink beer, kill time.

How much beer

are we supposed to drink?

Let's play.

Check it out.

I'm betting at six-to-one odds,

all right?

I'm betting at six-to-one odds,

all right?

So if I win,

that's six times.

I bet ten dollars,

I get $60 back. Okay?

Roll the dice.

Let me think. Three.

It's gonna be three.

I know it. I'm hot.

Six.

Oh, you bettin' too?

All right, all right.

Well, if you win, you get $60 dollars.

Let's see.

Ain't that a b*tch?

All right,

let's do it one more time.

This time, I got two and four

at three-to-one odds.

So if I get one of'em,

it's three times.

All right, let's see

what you got now, player.

Come on. Come on.

What? What?

Six.

Ain't nobody gonna get six

twice in a row!

You're crazy, man.

What is it?

Ain't that a...

There's somethin' wrong

with these dice, man.

Cheatin' or somethin'.

Goddamn.

F***in' lost $20 dollars, man.

Where you going, man?

Tobacco.

What?

Cigarette.

Oh. Tobacco.

There's a store right out there, man.

Check it out.

Cheatin'-ass mother...

What the hell?

Oh, now ain't this a b*tch?

Oh, yeah.

F***in' hole in the cup?

Son of a b*tch.

A hole in the cup.

It's the oldest trick in the book, man.

I can't believe this sh*t.

Hand over the money

for the last batch.

All right.

What the f*** is this?

Fifteen hundred, right?

No. Three G's.

Hey, that's too much.

- That's the price.

- We can't make any money at that price.

Take it or leave it.

I didn't tell you to sell drugs.

- What are we supposed to do?

- Shut up!

You cheatin' son of a b*tch.

Where's my money?

I'm leaving.

Don't go, Aniki.

His thugs will get you.

Got any guns?

Some old ones.

Bring them.

Mo, get my brother

back to the hotel, please.

- All right.

- Be careful.

What is goin' on?

Ken's brother

just beat the sh*t out of Victor.

That's tight!

Are you the Jap

that beat up the boss?

Come with us. Come on.

- Yo, hold up, man.

- Don't follow him, or we'll kill you.

Hold up.

Then why'd he hit Ken?

Look what they did to me.

I want them shot.

I'am f***ing pissed.

They'll f***ing respect me.

Takeshi Kitano

Takeshi Kitano (北野 武, Kitano Takeshi, born 18 January 1947) is a Japanese comedian, television personality, director, actor, author, and screenwriter. While he is known primarily as a comedian and TV host in his native Japan, abroad he is known almost entirely for his filmwork. With the exception of his works as a film director, he is known almost exclusively by the stage name Beat Takeshi (ビートたけし, Bīto Takeshi). Kitano rose to prominence in the 1970s as one half of the comedy duo Two Beat, before going solo and becoming one of the three biggest comedians in the country. After several small acting roles, he made his directorial debut with 1989's Violent Cop and garnered international acclaim for Sonatine (1993). But he was not accepted as a director in Japan until Hana-bi won the Golden Lion in 1997. In October 2017, Kitano's completed his Outrage crime trilogy with the release of Outrage Coda.He has received critical acclaim for his idiosyncratic cinematic work, winning numerous awards with Japanese film critic Nagaharu Yodogawa having once dubbed him "the true successor" to influential filmmaker Akira Kurosawa. Many of Kitano's films are dramas about yakuza gangsters or the police. Described by critics as using an acting style that is highly deadpan or a camera style that approaches near-stasis, Kitano often uses long takes where little appears to be happening, or editing that cuts immediately to the aftermath of an event. Many of his films express a bleak worldview, but are also filled with humor and affection for their characters. more…
