Japan's PUNK Filmmaker | The Early Films of Gakuryu Ishii

[@Scallycowell]

Burst City isn't a film, it's a way of life 😤

[@t0xcn253]

True on many levels

[@hetbigboy]

Electric Dragon 80.000 V was a huge inspiration for me when I first got interested in filmmaking, I actually made a lil short film based on it.

[@pedrotannus2232]

Let us watch your short bro!

[@hetbigboy]

@@pedrotannus2232 Tried linking it in a comment but I think KZbin keeps deleting it. Made it public on my channel, it's called 'Punk Ster 230 Volt'. I still kinda like it, fun concept. It has that youthful insanity you have when you just get started on filmmaking.

[@tohellandbacknoface4091]

Really dope film. I see it as a response and nod to shinya tskamoto

[@SmartJapanHacks]

Awesome video! Why haven't I heard of this guy before? I need to watch Burst City for the music and visuals, if nothing else.

[@ZettaiJapan]

Ishii doesn't have the huge amount of yearly output like some other directors in Japan. (namely Takeshi Miike and Sono Sion) So he might fly under the radar when it comes to contemporary filmmakers.

[@Carnelust]

Every time I see you've uploaded a video, that is a good moment. Thank you for all your hard work!

[@vapidvices8982]

I GOT AN ELECTRIC DRAGON DVD IN JAPAN BUT THE DAMN THING WAS REGION LOCKED SO I HAD TO RIP THE KZbin VERSION AND WATCH THAT AAAAARGH

[@ZettaiJapan]

I feel your pain

[@SplinterInYourEye]

A Blu ray came out in Europe for this last year. It's region locked, but I have an unlocked player. It's awesome.

[@robofurious]

I renter this dvd 20 years ago at an underground video store. Ended up buying my own copy. Amazing film.

[@jacklopen1715]

[@mementomemescooks]

Amazing bro Love your reviews and your snippets of edits Dumbfounded on why you have only 14k but I know you will eventually grow since your content is so interesting Keep up the fun content ;)

[@0therun1t21]

I had a question but you answered it at the very end, it was about O'ren Ishii. I'm off to search for more Ishii, thank you!

[@Asian_Movie_Enthusiast]

I had the same exact experience with Burst City back in the 2000s. I'm expecting to enjoy it more when I re-watch it in the next few weeks.

[@ZettaiJapan]

Glad to know I wasn't the only one! Burst City is a lot better with context

[@OmegaSword4]

Your channel is such a wonderful gateway to all these incredible artists I’d never have found otherwise. Keep up the good work!

[@yumewomiyou90]

Now I want to watch that film just for the music.

[@ranger12YX]

Nice. I've added few of those to my list.

[@user-dy6yc8lu9f]

[@stephjobs5755]

[@ZettaiJapan]

[@RileyZilla1001]

And now Jack Perkins presents: Japanese punk films.

[@Mr.PastGlory]

Excellent video! To be honest I cannot see Electric Dragon 80.000 V as a movie ... I see it as a overlong music-video.

[@slmjkdbtl]

Please tell me what are the music you used in the film, thank you! And great video about of my favorite film maker ❤

[@crackle6875]

Interesting stuff this is.

[@droggy23]

[@otavioclassics]

[@TemporalShrewm]

I take umbridge with several points in this video but I will not expound further...

[@domingosjunior6805]

What the name of the song at the start?

[@ZettaiJapan]

It's a live performance of Crazy Beat by The Mods!

[@pinheadhell]

The crazy family is amazing

[@Falcon364]

Please bring back edgy manga!! Peace and love

[@risingbob5230]

[@taziobettin8136]

When you talk about a person, could you please at least learn how to pronounce their name without butchering it so horribly? Thank you very much.

[@DaSpineLessFish]

[@ZettaiJapan]

I can't argue with this.
