Takeshi Kitano in Boiling Point (3-4 x jûgatsu).

I would definitely love to hear in the comments what your favorite Kitano film is and why?

Japanese Cinema:
::: Jason Gray
::: Mark Schilling’s Tokyo Ramen
::: Midnight Eye
::: Ryuganji
::: Takeshi Kitano Official Site

Image Source:
Official still that was used in the original international release of the film. Image originally was received more artifacted than I like, but being Kitano I still cleaned it up some for the many fans out there!

    "Violent Cop". Japanese Dirty Harry, the name says it all! I was also a fan of "Kikujiro" I thought it was a really cute story, that showed Kitano has plenty of range as a filmmaker. I just scored a copy of "Dolls" but I have yet to watch it. It sounds like a Japanese version of "Three Times".

    Thanks for these series of Kitano stills Blake, you're a scholar and a gentleman! As for my favorite Kitano film, I'd probably go with Hana-bi if I was forced to choose (I love all of his films). I see it as his magnum opus of sorts, a perfect summation of his works. It also contains perhaps one of the most affecting closing scenes in cinema history for me. Hauntingly poetic.

    Hopefully you can dig up some more gems!
