Takeshi Kitano's humorous, offbeat, and ironic tale of lost adolescence and survival. Masaru and Shinji are two delinquent teenage slackers who cut classes, play pranks on their teachers and extort money from their fellow students. After dropping out of school, Shinji takes up boxing. Masaru, the loud mouth, talks his way into the local Yakuza gang. But just as they're about to attain success in their new professions, the past returns to haunt them.

Love the film; bad quality of the DVD
Picture quality is terrible, plus it didn't even fill the screen! But I love the film, and had been trying to find a copy of it for a long time, so 5 stars for the movie, 2 stars for the quality = 4-star review just so I don't mislead folks who are interested in the film that it's a bad movie.

Angry High Schooler (Masonobu Ando) from Battle Royale Tries Boxing
The electric performance of a high schooler armed with a machine gun (in Battle Royale) carries over to the film Kids Return. This young Japanese actor has become a presence in several quality films. Ando plays one of Japan's "lost" teenagers. Suitable only for work as a yakuza soldier or common laborer, he discovers a talent for boxing. Brief success is followed by disappointment, as he settles into life on the margins.

DVD quality isn't.......
As far as the review of the movie, I must concur with all positive writtings about it. HOWEVER, I must stress that the movie wasn't remastered or anything, hence the DVD quality is actually below satisfactory level. What a shame, coz' the movie IS kick-a**!!

Once again Kitano does it right!
Kid's return is Takeshi Kitano's fifth movie. Born in Tokyo in 1947, Takeshi's movies are filled with childhood memories. Kids return is once again a masterpiece. Two friends go back to their school and talk about the past, when they first met. In the beginning, they are enemies but as the time goes by, they end up as best friends, and become bullies. Boxing is the element that has linked them but only one of them follows a boxing carrier while the other turns out to be a Yakuza. A very fine movie full of intense moments. If you are a Kitano fan, get it into your collection. I can promise that you won't regret it!

Kids Return è la prima opera di Kitano che riscuote il successo in patria.Il film uscì nelle sale dopo che il regista e attore ebbe un gravissimo incidente in moto che ha alterato in parte la sua capacità delle espressioni somatiche; peccato che non abbia mutata la sua sensibilità.Lasciare intatto qualcosa è proprio il tema del film se vogliamo: l'amicizia.
