Where to Watch Boiling Point
- cultfilmlikerJune 17, 2025“If you have a motorcycle, which…good luck to you, rest in peace, it’s not ‘if,’ it’s ’when.’” … “You know, you have to live every day to its fullest if you have a motorcycle. Your time is numbered” - Robby Hoffman on Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney Probably my favorite baseball movie Hilarious, brutally tense, and beautifully shot. First Takeshi Kitano film I’ve seen and already a big fan! His use of violence against women is quite potent. Between this and Takeshi’s Castle, he’s either really good at fake hitting people or a legit sadist! Really wanna break a bottle over somebody’s head now
