    I still haven't worked out how Takeshi-san touches me the way he does, but he does. From Violent Cop through to Dolls! Astonishing. If you want to see him at his most despicable, catch Blood And Bones. At his most loveable - Kikijuro.

    I think Takeshi's castle was an original idea when it came out... but anyway here we're talking about kitano as a director/actor, not as a TV star... and he rocks!!

    I personaly hate Takashi's castle it is just another away for those crazy Japanese to humiliate themselves, but him as Katano in Battle Royale was a great role.
