[quote]  He was one of the Yakuzas.  His character name in the movie is not coming to me, although I don’t know if they even say his name in the film.  Have you seen the movie?  He’s in the opening credits, credited as Boba, not Yoji Tanaka.  If you haven’t seen this movie, I highly recommend it, Tarantino loved it and, like I said, he gave a special thanks to the director (who’s only directed one other film, Party 7, which I just ordered), Katsuhito Ishii in the credits at the end of KB vol.1.[/quote]
If I’m not mistaken Ishii-san was involved in the anime sequences in Kill bill which explains his credit.
Ishii has a third film coming out called The Taste of Tea which stars Tadanobu Asano yet again.
I havn’t seen Party 7 but I long to sooooo bad…
Where have you caught it?
