Shinjinku triad society saw few yrs back cant remember much about it now
Fudoh new generation got but not seen
Rainy dog got but not seen
Full metal yakuza seen few yr back
Audition got and seen need to give this a watch again to refresh myself but good film tho
Dead or alive got all 3 not watched any tho
visitor Q got only seen some of it
Ichi the killer got and seen but it the slightly cut version
Gozu got
1 missed call got and seen

There what i can think of top of my head prob got and seen 1 or 2 more

but yes he certainly has made a handfull of controversal films

Miike is one of a handful of modern directors who has the power to shock the audience.

Visitor Q is messed up. Audition is a masterpice!

He sure loves breast milk!

I've only seen a few but so far been very impresssed.

First one I saw was Imprint. Thought it was decent enough.Had heard so much about it first so I think I expected more!

Loved Ichi the killer. defo lived up to expectations
Visitor Q was strange but really enjoyed it.
Audition was very very creepy.
Have One Missed Call but haven't watched it.

Takeshi Miike's "Sukiyaki Western Django " is well worth tracking down. A film shot in English for some strange reason.

I saw this in a shop and was going to pick it up. Any idea if the English is easy to follow? Not being bad against the Japanese but I'm sure i read somewhere that their accents were terrible in the film.

Some of the actors had learned their lines phonetically as they didn't speak English, but I didn't find it hard to understand. I believe there is a subtitle option anyway if you need it.
