JP translator and general ball knower Baxter brings us this gem of the Yakuza Revenge into Chill Road Movie genre. We discuss how great it is when a movie contains an entire second film, the depths of…
So Baxter has brought us Kamikaze Taxi 1994 or 95.
The film, do you want to pitch it for us actually? Like I didn't know what it was.
I watched it basically fully blind.
I was talking about this yesterday with a friend and I was trying to pitch it to them.
And I was failing so miserably at it because this movie is simply a lot.
Yeah.
It really kind of switches like films almost several times, kind of.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The way I describe it is like it's three genre films coming together.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
yeah road movie yeah for sure
kind of chill um Yeah, I don't know how to sell this thing exactly.
Especially because I think part of it is that the first 20 minutes is harrowing, kind of.
Yes.
Yes.
I'd say
it's like, as a movie, it's weirdly meditative for how serious it can be at points.
Like you're saying, Colin, it starts off incredibly dark.
And then almost these characters that symbolize very genre film, terrible yakuza, they take on another side to them, almost.
They become comedic.
It's a movie that really lingers, you know, it's about like soaking up the atmosphere kind of.
Yeah.
