ONE PERCENTER Short Promo Teases Tak Sakaguchi’s Latest Gangbuster Action Thriller
I knew there had to be a reason why I woke up this morning. Enter Re:Born and Crazy Samurai Musashi star Tak Sakaguchi who, a decade after once announcing his retirement from film, has graciously found himself thriving on and off-screen, which also brings us to the first short teaser for One Percenter, pairing him with none other than Yudai Yamaguchi who has been in Sakaguchi’s corner in a career space they’ve shared since Ryuhei Kitamura’s 2000 cult hit, Versus.

1%er (ONE PERCENTER): Tak Sakaguchi Reteams With Director Yudai Yamaguchi For ‘Real Action Road’ Thriller Next Year
Filmmaker Yudai Yamaguchi is reteaming with action star Tak Sakaguchi for 1%er (One Percenter), according to an announcement from Sakaguchi’s WiiBER production label.

PRISONERS OF THE GHOSTLAND Review: Trapped in The Subjectiveness Of Art
In a 2016 documentary about his life and creative process, there is a scene where filmmaker Sion Sono shows a barely completed painting, that he had been working on for months, to the crew filming him and asks dispassionately if they think it’s good art or not. The off-camera interviewer, clearly confused by the sudden and direct question sputters out that he doesn’t know. Sono sharply responds that it doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad and that it only matters if it expresses emotion. He then chucks the large canvas across the room with as much care as one throws a soiled tissue into the trash. This peculiar moment reveals a lot about how Sono views his work and it’s all I could think about after I watched his latest directorial effort, the post-apocalyptic “East meets West” mashup, PRISONERS OF THE GHOSTLAND.
Holy Shit! Is This A VERSUS Reunion???
Whatever or however which way you slice it, it appears that some of the screen stars of Ryuhei Kitamura’s Versus were able to reconvene at some point last year. Just a little bit of this was documented on actor and action star Tak Sakaguchi’s own YouTube channel and while little was known then, we finally know just a little more now with a promo for what roughly translates as Violence Musou: Subliminal War (暴力無双－サブリミナル・ウォー－).

CRAZY SAMURAI MUSASHI International Trailer: Butterflies Fly And Body Parts Fall
You could say of the production and essential completion of action star Tak Sakaguchi‘s new period thriller, Crazy Samurai Musashi, that it’s been, in a word, challenging. Considering it’s been close to a decade since the start of it’s evolution, “challenging” might be understating things a bit.
CRAZY SAMURAI MUSASHI: Tak Sakaguchi Is A One Man Army In The Latest Sales Art Visual
It’s been the longest time coming for Tak Sakaguchi’s recent pairing with Yuji Shimomura, the now internationally titled Crazy Samurai Musashi. Production has seen more than its ample share of behind-the-scenes drama that have thankfully borne little affect on the carefully-played hand Sakaguchi dealt in the years since then.
