The dancing finale of Zatoichi is tremendous, don't you think? Many criticise it, but I find it exhilirating, original and clever.

Yeah, I loved that. The musical framing of the whole piece is great.

Actually, Kitano brings to mind this thread, in that I can't help but laugh at how straight he keeps his face whenever either killing, slapping or glassing somebody. Almost as if he's bored with what he's doing, but doesn't know how to do anything else. It's made even more absurd by his insistence on keeping the camera static.

I just this moment realised that Count Takeshi from Takeshi's Castle and Takeshi Kitano are one and the same. That's hilarious!

Haha, yeah. He's a standup comedian, too, apparently.
I'd love to go on Takeshi's Castle. Although I hate the feeling that Craig Charles would render my performance as a useless human effort, I think I'd win. That maze level is hugely frightening, though.

Yeah and then your ass falling on the mud would be MXC fodder for years to come.
