Stars: Dankan, Takeshi Kitano, Moeko Ezawa, Hakuryu, Tokie Hidari, Yojin Hino | Written and Directed by Takeshi Kitano
From the acclaimed director Takeshi Kitano (Fireworks, Kikujiro) comes a bizarre, over the top and absurd comedy full of slapstick silliness and never ending gags. A great satire of Japanese society and popular cinema, Getting Any?, embraces the spirit of Kitano s early stand-up and television work and as such it offers a genuine inside look into his true personality.
The story follows the nerdy middle age Asao, a professional daydreamer, whose one and only goal in life is – as the title suggests – to get laid. Asao embarks on a series of slapstick adventures in search of fulfilling his ultimate fantasy – making wild passionate sex with a woman. His holy quest for sex lands Asao in a series of absurd situations, involving robbery schemes, big movie productions, yakuza gang rivalry wars and scientific experiments.

Getting Any?
Stars: Dankan, Moeko Ezawa, Hakuryu, Takeshi Kitano | Written and Directed by Takeshi Kitano
Asao, played by Dankan, is a 35 year old virgin who lives with his grandfather in a Tokyo suburb. After watching an adult movie on tv, Asao decides the only way he can ever get a girl and get laid is to buy a sports car. The film follows Asao’s efforts to get the car, the girl and get laid – along the way he sells his grandfather’s liver and kidney’s, steals a car, runs over a prospective date, joins the yakuza, becomes invisible, and gets transformed into a giant fly-man!
Getting Any? is a Airplane-style scatalogical satire on japanese culture, with references to Zatoichi, Godzilla, and Ultraman, it even spoofs Speilberg’s Et. Feeling like a Japanese take on the sex comedies of the 1980’s, such as Screwballs, Porky’s and in particular the Lemon Popsicle series,...
