Wordiezett So much average

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

The_Light_Triton Takeshi's castle was a Japanese Gameshow in which 100 Contestants would invade a castle full of obstacle courses in search of 1 million yen, equal to $10,000 US. it was highly popular in japan but only aired for 3 years.14 years after the last episode of Takeshi's Castle Aired, US TV Network Spike got a hold of all the footage on Takeshi's Castle, and dubbed it in their own way, making it one of spike's funniest shows ever.Kenny Blankenship and Vic Romano are the hosts of MxC, the most Extreme Competition in Town. they provide commentary on some ridiculous challenges, in which 2 themes of people would be competing for pretty much nothing. then they would go through the 10 most painful eliminations of the day, then end the show with 3 words..."Don't Get Eliminated!" It's too bad this show doesn't Produce any more episodes, but at least spike still airs the reruns every so often. catch them sometime, you won't be disappointed.

jeffrey-sallen I love the fact that I am going to be able to watch Kenny & Vic whenever i want now. this show is by far one of the funniest reality shows on TV. i mean it is real, right? those boulders looks so scary when they are coming at the competitors. for what ever reason, the show puts me on the floor whenever i watch it. I'm not sure if I have ever even seen any of the episodes from the first season. i was told that they are much different than current ones that air on spikeTV. not sure if the show had the amount of money to put into each episode like they do now. From what i know the show started in Asia in like the early 90's and we here in the states are only getting the remains of what is left from restored episodes that aired over their so many years ago.

mamaofsqueedunk If your sense of humor runs along the lines of ridiculous, unbelievably silly, and downright immature (like mine!) then you will absolutely LOVE this show! The Japanese "sports" challenges themselves are very goofy and quite creative. My favorite challenges involve jumping off a trampoline and trying to stick to a Velcro wall and running across huge spinning foam logs above a muddy water pit. Just watching the show on mute could make me erupt in helpless giggles, but what really sends me over the edge is the outrageous comments made by the voice-overs. The combination of the two is unmatched in television, as far as I'm concerned.Unfortunately, as far as I know, you can only see it on TV, since it hasn't released to DVD yet. I am fervently hoping it comes out on DVD soon.

m thingmaker Why do I love this show?! I crack up non-stop and it's completely absurd! It's brilliant and strangely innocent in its semi-violent soft-porn formulaic presentation. It has a silly charm that most shows will never approach. It's this Japanese game show called 'Takeshi's Castle' messed up and joked on in English translation, each episode is 1/2 hour. I love everything about it, the main characters Kenny, Vic, the Captain, and Guy, plus the gladiator-types, all made to relish their roles, at least in the funny translation. I haven't investigated the straight translation, anyone tried that? I wonder how funny that would seem to me. I also wonder if Japan broadcasts MXC in Japanese, how that would translate, you know? The games are excellent, I especially love 'the rotating surfboard of death'. There's even something I enjoy about the settings, the backdrops, the whole outdoors thing. The costumes are great, the video game graphics used to demo the games, the top 10 most painful eliminations of the day. The dialogue is best of all, brilliantly goofy, Guy's suggestive comments crack me up endlessly, Captain's 'Get it on!', and Vic's 'Right you are, Ken'. Some episodes are better than others, but the basic premise assures a nice constant level of humor. I might be addicted, but fortunately I think it's only on once a week (for three hours in a row, but I don't usually get sucked in for all 6 episodes). 'She's full of spunk! She's spunkalicious!'
