Sounds like Takeshis’ 2 to me.
Dice, you’ve got to watch more Kitano. I know you don’t care about his yakuza stuff but that’s only one side of him. At least watch Hana-Bi which is partly a crime film and very violent too but also one of the most beautiful movies ever made. A Scene at the Sea has no yakuza stuff or violence at all, very silent and extremely beautiful film as well. I think you’d also enjoy Kids Return (yet another Kitano masterpiece)
