Member Takuma Posted April 12, 2013 Member Share Posted April 12, 2013 decided to give this a topic of its own. Toshiaki Toyoda to direct new Crows movie “Crows EXPLODE” - http://www.nipponcinema.com/blog/toshiaki-toyoda-to-direct-new-crows-movie-crows-explode Wow, this is interesting. Although Toyoda's last two films (Monster's Club and I'm Flash) has been a bit underwhelming, his early 2000's films are gems, especially Hanging Garden, and the high school violence film Blue Spring. Blue Spring trailer: Trailer for Crows Explode (this came fast): http://www.crows-movie.jp/trailer/promo.html via wildgrounds Though I'm not holding my breath yet, I gotta say I was amused with the sakura.

Member JDecloux Posted April 16, 2013 Member Share Posted April 16, 2013 That's one heck of an interesting choice for a director. 9 SOULS and BLUE SPRINGS are classics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Takuma Posted February 4, 2014 Author Member Share Posted February 4, 2014 New trailer: The trailer doesn't look that interesting - I was expecting more from a Toshiaki Toyoda film. But perhaps the film is better. Let's see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Gwai LO Posted February 5, 2014 Member Share Posted February 5, 2014 Is this a series of movies, or a remake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Takuma Posted February 5, 2014 Author Member Share Posted February 5, 2014 Is this a series of movies, or a remake? A series of films based on the manga of the same title: Crows Zero (Miike) (2007) Crows Zero 2 (Miike) (2009) Crows Explode (Toyoda) (2014) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Secret Executioner Posted February 5, 2014 Member Share Posted February 5, 2014 A series of films based on the manga of the same title: Crows Zero (Miike) (2007) Crows Zero 2 (Miike) (2009) Crows Explode (Toyoda) (2014) Funny, I was wondering whether this film would be linked to the Crows Zero one (which I have but still haven't watched yet). Picked it up mainly because of the good I had read of Miike - and I didn't know there had been a sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Takuma Posted February 5, 2014 Author Member Share Posted February 5, 2014 I hated the first film, but liked the second one quite a bit. So I decided to give the first a second chance - and still hated it. Also watched the second film again - and still liked it. At least I learned to trust myself By no means they are anywhere near Miike's top films. He's done tons of more remarkable films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member daisho2004 Posted February 6, 2014 Member Share Posted February 6, 2014 I haven't see any of these movies yet. Just have so many others to catch up on, been wanting to get them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted February 6, 2014 Administrator Share Posted February 6, 2014 I've also never seen these. I own both of the Miike films, but haven't watched them yet. By no means they are anywhere near Miike's top films. He's done tons of more remarkable films. Just curious Takuma- what are some of your favorite Miike films? I'm a big fan of his older stuff.

Member Takuma Posted February 7, 2014 Author Member Share Posted February 7, 2014 I Just curious Takuma- what are some of your favorite Miike films? I'm a big fan of his older stuff. Audition, Dead or Alive, Gozu, Yatterman, The Great Yokai War, Ichi the Killer, Fudoh... ... and bunch of films I haven't seen for 10 years and can't remember well enough to make comments. The thing about Miike is that he's made so many films that when you finally catch up with the latest, you've already forgot about the earliest He's never been consistently great, but until around 2005 he was consistently interesting. After 2005 he became really uneven.. e.g. hated Crows Zero, but found Crows Zero 2 good, loved Yatterman, thought For Love's Sake was miserable...

Member Takuma Posted April 11, 2014 Author Member Share Posted April 11, 2014 Japan Times review: http://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2014/04/10/films/crows-explode/#.U0iycaKYegd Doesn't sound (or look) that interesting to me... plus there's been so many great Japanese films recently that I find it difficult to motivate myself to go see something that doesn't seem so promising to begin with...

Member Gwai LO Posted April 11, 2014 Member Share Posted April 11, 2014 The first two crows movies are some of my favorite movies.. I'm beyond excited. Is their a way to watch the movie online? I won't be able to see this for a few months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Gwai LO Posted November 19, 2014 Member Share Posted November 19, 2014 I know this dvd has been out for over a month but with no English subs.. Does anyone have an update on when it will be out with subs? I've seen dozens of versions of the movie on YouTube with subs.. But no dvd/blu Ray.. I'm dying to see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Gwai LO Posted March 18, 2015 Member Share Posted March 18, 2015 I have been waiting forever, hoping for an English subtitle blu Ray version of this film. At what point should I give up on that and just purchase the standard dvd? Does anyone know if a blu Ray version will be available anytime soon?
