KENTARO SEAGAL & THE BEEP BROTHERS in Movie !!
Do You Have the Guts to Cry Out C**t?!
A Deluge of Words Unfit for Broadcast!
The Ultimate in Below-the-waist Comedy!
Why is this film banned from television? It's because a word that would unquestionably violate broadcasting indecency codes-the word "c**t"-is uttered dozens and dozens of times, setting a new record in Japanese filmmaking history. In fact, there probably isn't a single film in the world's history of filmmaking in which this word is delivered so shamelessly and unabashedly. Needless to say, "The Bleep Brothers" is by no means a film that merely boasts the number of times it can use the word "c**t."
The film's real objective is to take a satirical look at today's mass media. Broadcasters feel no reservations in having women expose their breasts or to strip off their panties on air in the name of ratings. So why does this particular word have to be censored?
Through the liberal use of risky language, this film attempts to delve deeply into both the contradictions built into today's television network establishment, and also the predisposition of the broadcasters who work there to weave in and out of their public and private agendas depending on the situation.
"The Bleep Brothers" is refreshingly new in that it not only develops an intimate, heartfelt human drama about sibling rivalry, family, marriage and so forth, but also takes up a theme with social implications.
Appearing on TV Changes Destiny Forever
A Tragicomedy of Two Brothers Fighting and Embracing
The older brother Ikuo (Zenjiro) is small and wears glasses, the younger, Tatsuo (Kentaro Seagal) tall and handsome. The brothers form a duo, hoping to become the leading manzai comedy act in Japan.
But Ikuo's stubborn nature and Tatsuo's quick temper get in the way. They get nowhere at any of the comedy joints.
Out of money, the two grudgingly start working part-time for their parents' (Ittoku Kishibe/Yuko Tanaka) funeral home business. One day at a funeral, they come across a beautiful woman named Fumie (Mireiyu).
Having lost her mother, Fumie has debts to deal with; her sorrowful profile reveals all. Ikuo is filled with intense emotions after encountering Fumie for the first time in 20 years. She had always held a special place in his heart, ever since they were growing up. Tatsuo and Ikuo are performing their stand-up routineat a strip club in Juso, Osaka. Day in, day out, no matter how hard they try to work the audience with obscene jokes, all they receive are jeers instead of applause.
They are after all, simply a side-act to the exotic dancers. One day out of the blue, a TV director called Arisawa (Teruyuki Kagawa) appears before the brothers."Do you want to go on television?" With this single sentence, the brothers' destiny changes dramatically, as if hurtled into a tempest...
Tatsuo = Kentaro Seagal
The younger of the two brothers, Tatsuo is tall and He is also well endowed, measuring in at a whopping 32.4 cm (12.75 inches)!
Kentaro Seagal, son of Hollywood star Steven Seagal, makes his Japanese debut with this film.His eyes are sharp like a beast's, but in the film, the naive sensitivity that lies hidden behind them shimmers forth.
