Y tu mamá también (your mama, the tambourine :D )
Quote from: "Obi-Wan is lost..."Y tu mamá también (your mama, the tambourine :D )Unfortunately I think this only means "And your mother too" or something equally as exciting...
Ichi the Killer is by Takeshi Miike who's done lots of phenomenally unpleasant but very stylish films (Audition is probably his least sanest effort - just moderate amounts of mutilation and torture).
Quote from: "moose"watched Police Story 1 & 2 for the first time the other night - now there's a couple of quality films (the out takes at the end are the highlight - i'd love to know the full number of hospitalisations whilst filming..........)love the out take in PS1 where he runs out in front of his mate driving the bedford rascal van thing, but the guy is driving way, way too fast - locks up, smacks Jackie side on at about 30mph, Jackie (still running) bounces about 20 feet forward and carries on running without breaking his stride. What a pro.

Apparently the makers of Dogtown and Z Boys are making a new film called "Chasing Giants" about the history of big wave surfing taking in 3 eras; North Shore Hawaii in the 70s, Northern California in the 80s and Jaws, current day.This combined with the Billabong Odyssey thing going about at the moment means surfing is back on the Big Screen again.
