　　倫敦影展、鹿特丹電影節官方參展！

　　是反北野武？抑或玩北野武？
　　你從未見過的百分百瘋狂北野武！
　　第1部完全發揮真正「北野武本色」的作品，首次曝光！

　　北野武的第一部喜劇片。故事由一連串天方夜談式的小男人夢想組成。朝男是個完全沒有女人會投懷送抱的男子，但他卻偏偏由朝到晚都想著怎樣才可以與女人做那回事。他賣掉爺爺的肝和腎臟來買房車、去打劫銀行、做臨記、加入黑社會、甚至不惜化身成為蒼蠅人，無他，一切都是為了「溝女」！

　　本片完全一反北野武的冷峻暴力風格，百分百瘋狂，絕對搞笑，品味有咁俗得咁俗，是北野武有意替「cult片」一詞重新界定意義的另類野心作。

　　Asao is a day-dreamer who fantasizes about having wild, passionate sex in a car. Since he has neither a car not a girlfriend, he embarks on a series of slapstick adventures in search of both: he sells his grandfather's internal organs, robs a bank, steals an armored car, searches for buried treasure , becomes an actor in a Zatoichi movie, joins the Yakuza, and even becomes an experimental subject in a human-invisibility project. Unlike any of the stylized violent films that preceded it, getting Any? However, is arguably the film that best represents Kitano Takeshi, who many seem to have forgotten, started off as an off-beat stand-up comedian specialized in farcical and bad-taste comedic acts......

Getting any laughs? Get this! Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
Asao is a horny fool who believes that, if only he can acquire a car, he will be able to persuade women to have sex with him. He sets out to acquire a car or gain the money to buy one. That basically is the entirety of the plot of this hilarious film, an over-the-top comedy in the style of such films as "Naked Gun" and "Airplane".

Jokes and sight gags come at the viewer in rapid fire; even if only 50% of them are truly funny, the viewer will be chuckling almost non-stop. In the course of the film, Director Kitano Takeshi sends up the Zatoichi movies, Yakuza films, the Invisible Man, The Fly, Mothra, and lots more. (I believe that the more one knows about Japanese culture, the funnier one will find this film. However, even someone ignorant of Japan will be in stitches.)

Kudos must go to the actor who plays Asao. While going through even the most absurd of scenarios he maintains a dead-serious Buster Keaton-style deadpan face. Director Kitano also deserves credit for maintaining the high octane comedic energy level of this film from start to finish.

"Getting Any?" is not high-brow, but it is highly funny and I can recommend it highly to a mature audience.

Underrated, underappreciated comedy Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Believe it or not, Takeshi Kitano claims that this film - not 'Zatoichi,' not 'Sonatine,' not even 'Hana-Bi' - is his best work! I know many people think 'Getting Any?' is juvenile and stupid, but it's one of the funniest films I've seen - I LOVE the Zatoichi, 'Manpole,' and Yakuza skits. This film provides more insight into Kitano's true personality than any other, and it makes me long to see some of his television work. He has an awesome sense of humor!
