Sukiyaki Western Django (Takashi Miike, 2007)

10/10
This movie was a fucking blast from beginning to end. It's a Spaghetti Western directed by Takashi Miike (Audition, Ichi the Killer, Visitor Q, etc) and the entire movie is done with Japanese actors speaking in phonetic English, with English subtitles. It's hilarious, the action is awesome, and the plot is surprisingly coherant. It's not a remake of Sergio Corbucci's Django but it uses similar devices (the name Django, the machine gun in a casket thing). Without a doubt the best Miike movie I've seen in a long time. Oh yeah, and Quentin Tarantino plays a sukiyaki-eating master gunslinger. Right on.
