I've never laughed so hard -- this show is fantastically hilarious - the best thing to come out of Japan, ever!

awesome. it's so silly - i love it! the triple-bills are so good, especially accompanied by a joint or 3 :D
i think it would be better without craig charles' voice-over tho' - hearing a mad japanese guy shouting over the top would just add to the insanity of it all.

part of this show is aired in the states on spike tv. it's called most extreme elimination challenge or something like that. it just has a bunch of people doing strange obstacle course things. at the end of every show it says 'taken from takeshi's castle'.

It's called Most Extreme Elimination Challenge here, and what I assume would be Japanese is overdubbed by goofy Americans. And the show is the funniest thing I've ever seen. Some girl fell off those rolling cylinders going over the brook, and her body got caught between two of them as she fell and she nearly snapped right in half. Got right up though, what a trooper.

seriously. most contestants take falls that look they would result in a trip to the hospital but then they get right up.

I saw Takeshi Kitano in Zatoichi the other day. Apparently it is common for Japanese to be familiar with the ending because it is such an enduring tale (over 20 films have been made based on the character), but I was surprised to see this particular take on it. Even when Takeshi's doing serious damage, there is this inscrutable glint in his eye... a hint of greater mischief.
I've only seen the US version of this show, the "Most Extreme..." one -- the voiceovers were funny at first but IMHO annoyed me after I went on the web and found out the real story behind the gameshow was in fact quite a bit more posh!!
Shades of that Simpsons episode where Homer and family go through that lava/scorpions (?) thing.

that game where contestants wear those giant bowling-pin costumes, and a giant bowling ball is sent hurtling towards them is pure genius.
Like telica says, if you're stoned you laugh until it hurts...

i love this programme! the pounding those poor fuckers take in "bridge-ball" is criminal.
craig charles does come out with some genious comments sometimes, in the early episodes you can tell he's bored shitless. I think they must have upped his salary because he's well into it now.
don't forget the raisins!

this program is hilarious. ophecks could be right, it sounds like the commentators are not directly translating - but they're very funny. the swimming through cement challenge is classic.

is been on in the US for a few years now renamed as MXC (Most Extreme Elimination Challenge).
I was curious, here in the states they dub in hilarious american english voices, do they do the same with the british version?

It's a great show meng : )
Zatoichi was fecking awesome too! I saw it in a french movie theater, so the diologe was Japanese, and the sub titles were french hehehe. I had no idea what the fuck was going on but I just put 2 and 2 together.
It's about Sean Conner and T1000 right ?
