Trivia
Following a string of unconventional, commercially unappealing films, Takeshi Kitano engineered this film specifically as commercially appealing, going back to the genre which brought him the most success, and going as far as imagining the death scenes first and writing a story around them later.

Goofs
At the bathhouse killing sequence, Ôtomo enters the steam room and sees four guys. However, the camera captures him killing three men and omits the fourth guy on the right corner, which never reappears in between shots during the shooting and also when the dead bodies appear in another sequence.

Quotes
Ikemoto: H-h-hold on a minute...
[panting]
Ikemoto: I'll reverse the banishment.
Ôtomo: Huh?
Ikemoto: I'll reverse the banishment.
Ôtomo: You banish me, then you reverse it?
[explodes]
Ôtomo: How many fucking tongues do you have?
Ikemoto: Huh?
Ôtomo: Are you deaf? How many do you have?
Ikemoto: I've only got one.
Ôtomo: Only one? *Two* or *three* is more like it, you fucking prick!
Ikemoto: I'm telling you I've only got one tongue!
Ôtomo: [a little calmer] Open your mouth.
[louder]
Ôtomo: Stick out your tongue!
Ikemoto: [beat] Huh?
Ôtomo: [barking] Stick out your tongue!
[Ikemoto reveals reluctantly a bit of his tongue]
Ôtomo: MORE!
[Ikemoto does]
Ôtomo: STICK IT OUT, YOU MOTHERFUCKER!
[Ikemoto sticks out his entire tongue, then Otomo slams his jaw so violently that Ikemoto chokes on his own tongue; Otomo eventually kills him]

average gangster film

Outrage is a sort of Japanese Godfather with Yakuza members vying to move up the crime hierarchy by beating, mutilating, killing each other in various vicious ways including a new and creative one involving a rope and a moving car.

It lacks both the depth and the soul of Coppola's classic gangster film of 1972. Also missing here is Marlon Brando's larger than life Don Corleone; none of the actor's here can come close.

The violence becomes repetitive as do the betrayals which bored me, and the editing seemed haphazard, never developing a coherent flow. The overall production is competent with decent acting but in the end I didn't care what happened to anyone from the chairman down the the many Yakuza soldiers. Everyone is corrupt, including the police, taking bribes to the street criminals looking out for themselves.
