part of sisu's problem is he's john wick except for gold instead of a dog i mean there's even a truck full of joy division girls and saving them is just kind of incidental to the getting gold back

SISU loving rules. My main issue is the last minute or so jumps the shark. What would've been better / funnier / more cathartic is if the band of women found the MC's arms gripping the gold bag as the only remains from the plane crash, then when they go cash the gold, we turn from the bank teller to that final line of "Bills, lots of the them" from the MC (in the flesh albeit symbolically).

Pirate Jet posted:You could immediately improve it by removing about 80% of the dialogue. There’s no less than two scenes where a character exposits to another gradually horrified character about how our protagonist is so the wrong man to gently caress with you don’t even KNOW. It's a movie that's heavily invested in "tell, don't show." The movie has a good idea, but it really hasn't developed on from that idea. Alan Smithee posted:part of sisu's problem is he's john wick except for gold instead of a dog Yeah, this is to the movie's detriment too. Like there's this clash between "this guy just minding his own business" and "it's the Nazis." There's probably a close version of the movie where the final scene of him exchanging the gold manages to have some critical edge. Using it as a punchline just kinda underlines the paucity of the film.

Sisu was a great time watching it in the cinema, even if it took the rest of my audience some time to catch up with the fact it wasn't supposed to be taken too seriously (I was on board from that first Nazi kill). I did have to also laugh at how ridiculously bad the Nazis were at shooting straight, even with a mounted machine gun. I also think the plane crash could have been made a little more credible by having him at least attempt to glide it in, otherwise yeah that suggested ending sounds better.

I would require a Ninja Scroll-ending amount of gold to start murdering. The upside is that I would do a Ninja Scroll-ending amount of murder for that much gold.

It’s wild that one guy did so many of the most notorious 80s OVA movies, because I don’t think I’d want to watch anything else by Kawajiri after sitting through Wicked City. Wretched movie.

Wretched movie. I'd not even go back to Ninja Scroll, kick-rear end as much of it might be. But Wicked City absolutely takes the cake.

Watched Love & Saucers. The part where they interview a college professor who’s like, “you see stories of erotic encounters with beings from beyond all throughout history, in many cultures. Historically they were understood through a religious framework, but in modern times they take on a sci-fi nature. Either way they’re real, they actually happen, and it happened to me once” is insanely good.

He died instantly.

Paul Schrader has a dial on his back, where one side says 'make incredible films' and the other side says 'be a huge rear end in a top hat and make lovely movies' and nobody knows who keeps moving the dial back and forth randomly.
