Our friends at SolaceinCinema have published the first photo of Quentin Tarantino in Takashi Miike’s (Ichi The Killer) Sukiyaki Western Django (aka Sushi Western). Tarantino is a friend of Japanese Director Takashi Miike, whom he asked to perform a cameo in Eli Roth’s Hostel. As a result of Miike doing so, Tarantino performed in the opening action sequence of Miike’s Django. Supposedly, Tarantino plays a “mysterious dude by the name of Ringo who appears at the beginning of the movie and fights with an unnamed Japanese cast member, who plays the lover of a female assassin disguised as a town dweller, to be portrayed by Momoi Kaori.”
I’m not a huge fan of Tarantino’s acting abilities, but I’m also not as appalled or annoyed by his acting attempts as most film geeks. I’ll be checking out this film this week at the Toronto Film Festival.

He lay face down in the desert sand
Clutching his six-gun in his hand
Shot from behind, I thought he was dead
But under his heart was an ounce of lead
But a spark still burned so I used my knife
And late that night I saved the life of Ringo
Ringo… Ringooooo! . . .
