Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBrad Pitt did 95% of his own stunts in this film according to stunt coordinator Greg Rementer. With the main exceptions being hard falls and the running scenes. He also wanted his character to grow an increasing number of bruises, cuts, and more culminating in at least three golf ball-sized lumps, but they talked him out of it.
- GoofsThe Yakuza are routinely depicted as being armed with, and using, guns. In reality, the Yakuza, and other Japanese criminals, almost never use guns (Japan averages fewer than ten gun homicides nationwide in most years). The incredibly strict gun laws in Japan mean that it's just not worth it for even professional criminals like the Yakuza to use firearms. Even possessing an illegal gun, without a link to any other crime, can lead to a hefty prison sentence.
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: There is a scene in the closing credits: Lemon survives his fall into the lake, and it is revealed that he hijacked and drove the truck that ran over Prince.

Featured review
Entertaining
Not the most restrained movie in the world, but a lot of fun. Loved Lemon (Brian Tyree Henry), with his adoration of Thomas the Tank Engine, and his ultimate fate (stick around for the credits). Brad Pitt espousing all the self-help stuff was pretty funny too. It's like a sloppy Tarantino knockoff, and it was hard to follow the overly complicated subplots at times. There were definitely holes, e.g. Why doesn't the White Death seek revenge on those who hired people like The Hornet or Tangerine and Lemon, instead of those characters directly? But this is less about a buttoned-up action film and more about comedy I think, and it made me laugh. It tried to have it both ways though, and themes like fate and luck were weakly developed. That said, sitting back and enjoying the wild ride wasn't such a bad thing.
