The movie has it all!

Rating: 10/10 (7 November 2003)

As a Japanese person I enjoyed the movie VERY MUCH. It is so fun to see Quentin's view of Japan (or fantasized version of Japan). Quentin's understanding of Yakuza/Samurai culture is pretty accurate, though it is not legal to bring in Samurai sword into passenger aircrafts (or walk downtown Tokyo carrying Samurai sword). Fully packed with fun, I gave it 10/10.
BTW, I heard that Japanese edit is completely different from US edit. I hope R1 DVD version (would be unrated) would provide US viewers the Japanese edit - from what I've heard Japanese edit has significant advantages. I'm still wondering if I should buy R1 DVD or R2 DVD (or both).
