What a jerk.

I hope you're off cigarettes

and booze.

Of course I am.

Open your mouth.

Begin.

Don't just stand there.

What do I do?

Would you please show him

how to hit a jab?

All right. Come with me.

First time?

In position.

Hit your jabs.

Quicker.

Again.

And again.

Put your strength in at impact.

Here, hit this once.

Really hard.

With practice,

you'll get the hang of it.

Work on it.

Learning the basics

won't do you any good.

That's for amateurs.

Do it your way.

Go on, try it.

That's it.

- Is the movie still on?

- Yes, it is.

President, it's still on.

The movie should make us

feel young again.

Good idea, President.

I'd like three tickets--

two executive and one regular.

3,600 yen.

- Isn't a student ticket 1 ,000 yen?

- You're an executive.

Yes, and also a student.

- Isn't that right, gentlemen?

- All right, 3,000 yen.

Well, shall we go in?

My wife won't get

much sleep tonight.

Kids today are hopeless.

Remember, there's a time limit.

So skip the difficult questions.

Start with the easy ones.

And once you've done them,

you can cope with the difficult ones.

You're bound to be tense...

and may not be able to finish

all the questions.

Morons. What are they up to now?

- I don't see any famous names.

- Want to go back?

Let's go backstage.

The referee won't see it.

Step in further.

Slowly.

Concentrate.

One, two and off.

That's it.

One, two and off!

One and off after two.

Hit harder. Harder!

You clowns.

So you began boxing?

- So this is where you were lurking?

- You bastard.

- You're picking a fight?

- Break it up.

I said break it up.

Can't you hear?

Go back to practice.

Welcome.

Thanks for the other night.

So we meet again.

Grandpa.

Give them some beer.

No, thank you.

We've begun boxing.

I'm off cigarettes and booze.

I see.

That's good.

Anything will do as long

as you don't become a gangster.

You'll end up like him.

Why don't you sit down?

Kazuo.

Get me some cigarettes.

Marlboros, sir?

You're a quick learner.

Keep the change.

Also stop by my office

and tell my boys to come and eat.

Yes, sir.

So it's boxing, is it?

Look out. They could easily

beat you up.

Don't tease me.

Have one of mine, sir.

No, thanks.

- Are you going on to college?

- No.

- I'm going to work.

- I see.

How does "Dynamite Kid" sound?

- It's cool.

- Isn't it?

There goes the gong!

Dynamite punch!

The destructive dynamite punch!

One! Two!

The Dynamite Kid is amazing.

He's absolutely amazing!

One dynamite punch after another!

And here it comes.

The amazing dynamite blow!

He's really fast.

- How are you doing?

- At my best, sir.

- Doing your road work?

- Yes, sir, every day.

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…
