ed Jun 15 2025 2:42 pm His bits of comic business, rapid fire verbal exchange (car scene) & pratfalls in Broken Rage (2024) are hilarious. He still got that touch of comic genius! Of course cooler than hell when he plays that mode too.
Jason Lee Jan 04 2017 1:31 am Outstanding acting. Very impressive character with charisma
Po:lo Aug 01 2014 9:07 pm Hi. What about a third Outrage film? In a few news articles I saw that he is going to make a third Outrage movie. Does anyone know when its coming out??
henry May 14 2014 9:14 am Understanding his works will allowed your inspiration to admire his presntations of "The Soul Of Japan"> Perhaps some of Yukio Mishima's works have shades upon this brillant director.
