Ichi the Killer (2001) - Trailer
The violence of the Ichi the Killer manga series was perfectly adapted by director Takashi Miike to the big screen. There, the incarnation of Tadanobu Asano in the role of the bloodthirsty boss Kakihara made the audience terrified and haunted. There were some sources that said this was one of the inspirations for Heath Ledger to play the Joker in The Dark Knight later. Some scenes of violent abuse in Ichi the Killer have made the live-action film banned in many countries around the world.
