  • wasn't that the teacher from 'Battle royal'???

  • @davelaye yes it is, his name is takeshi kitano, when he's doing this hard-ass character he goes by the stage name of beat takeshi. look him up on imdb for some of his other great films.

  • Hey good idea... this just might work here too.

  • @richie2910 it did work, this scene is based off of an incident that actually happened in 1968 where a single person on a motorcycle dressed as a policeman robbed a bank truck carrying 3oku en or a current equivalent of about 3 million dollars in cash (that's in 1968 money so with inflation its actual value is quite a lot higher, probably closer to 300,000,000 dollars). the robber was never caught.

  • what movie is this from?

  • If I remember right it's from Hanabi

  • This won't work in the USA today. As soon as you try to attempt someone will scream, the police will show up in 3 seconds and would empty the entire clip on you. then turn around and say "Just another wanna be wise guy"

  • im supprised they didnt ask him to fill out a form of some kind, damn japanese paper work!!!

  • Doesn't work if the cashier screams.

  • haha i can imagine that it is so in real xD

  • no need for a big drama queen moment. just walk in with a disguise. quietly demand the money and walk out. success rate is much higher and no one gets hurt you lazy dead beats.

    all this smashing glass and shooting is fucking pointless

  • EPIC!

    Takeshi Kitano is the best!!!

  • I called perfect crime and pro cirme! xD

    awsome crime hahahahaha

  • Amazing audio

  • ........and thats how you rob a bank without anyone screaming! POSE AS A COP!

    BINGO! Jewerly shop downtown, watch out! here I come! lol!

  • @itsumonihon thank you. great answer. i love that film and also the second, tried to get the missus into world cinema, pah! no chance. there is another film I remember from years ago called Tampopo about the perfect noodle soup. yes i will look up on IMDB, i am also a fan of that site for some great info. greetings from Wales, United Kingdom.
