Well it was amazing to see these beauties on the big screen with a hardcore bunch of all nighter peeps.
The films were absolutely fantastic and I loved them all, but the first: Scorpion impressed me the most and I can't believe that Nicolas Winding Refn wasn't in some way informed by it before he made Bronson. Jailhouse 41 went down a slightly more eccentric, surreal route, but also had a big impact.
And in retrospect I think that Beast Stable was probably the oddest of the bunch. Opening with the heroine running through the crowded streets of Tokyo with a severed arm handcuffed to her was a masterful stroke of 'Eh?'. |
I completely agree with your summation of each film and, like everyone else, I agree
Scorpion is the best. I would have loved to be there and imagine it was an awesome environment.
