Title: Getting Any?
Film Director(s): Takeshi Kitano
Film Producer(s): Masayuki Mori, Hisao Nabeshima, Takio Yoshida
Released: 1995 [Japan]
Genre: Comedy
    Sub-Genre: Romance


Overview:
Asao is a daydreamer who fantasizes about having wild, passionate sex in a car. Since he has neither a car nor a girlfriend, he embarks on a series of slapstick adventures in search of both: he sells his grandfather's internal organs, robs a bank, steals an armored car, searches for buried treasure, becomes an actor in a Zatoichi movie, joins the yakuza, and even becomes an experiment subject in a human invisibility project. Unlike any of the stylized violent films that preceded it, "Getting Any?" is arguably the film that best represents Takeshi Kitano, who--many seem to have forgotten--started off as an off-beat stand-up comedian specializing in farcical and bad-taste comedy.

Moeko Ezawa, Hakuryu, Tokie Hidari, Yojin Hino, Minoru Iizuka, Takeshi Kitano, Akiji Kobayashi, Yuuji Minakata, Masumi Okada, Ren Osugi, Shintaro Takado, Susumu Terajima, Kanji Tsuda, Yuurei Yanagi, Tetsuya Yuuki. . .
 
IMO:
it started out as funny initially but the ending abit of a let down... the loser dreams of getting laid and he thought if he has a car, there will be sex... so he went to an automobile shop and told the salesman he wans a car suitable for sex... that failed becos he is poor and he can only get a laoya car, then he thought owning a convertible stands a higher chance of getting gers...
 
then he thought if u fly on first class, u will get first class service (air stewardess stripping for u), but he no money so he wans to rob a bank... to rob a bank he needs a gun, to have a gun he have to either go to the police station and demand a gun from them or go to a gunmaker factory to work... he chose the factory then a car pulled up in front of him and out step the driver who is bloodied, this gangster driver hands the loser his gun and told him to take care of both the car n the gun n gangster died on the spot...
 
of course his robbery attempts fail becos he was too stupid, dropping the ropes without tying it to something first, being told off by the bank staff to take a queue ticket and wait for his turn, ordering the bank to close the shutters which closes but he was outside...
 
so he gives up that idea and thought if he was famous, his fans will wan to fuck him... so he decided to try acting, since zatoichi is blind, he cant open his eyes when fighting so he took a manure scoop instead of his walking stick cum katana and anyhow whack... in another scene he was required to save someone's son from a house on fire, so he went and pour a pail of liquid on himself, it was supposed to be water but he cannot see mah becos he was supposed to be blind then end up he took the pail of oil beside the pail of water... he go in end up he become real fireman...
 
then he dreamt of riding in a cessna (some small plane) which oso provides some in-flight service (another stripper stewardess). then another gangster car pulled up in front of him and gave him a big packet of dope and he died... loser went to sell the dope and get to ride his cessna, he got his inflight service too, it was the pilot who was dancing in a gstring... the pilot ened the show by pretending to jump off the plane, then the loser and another passenger fighting among each other to get the only parachute left... the passenger was a hitman but the loser dun believe and go snap his neck... then the pilot came back and say just now he fake 1 but the hitman oreadi die liao, so the loser wore his clothes...
 
when the plane come down the yakuza was there to greet their hired hitman, thats how the loser joined the yakuza for more silly antics...
