MXC or Ouch...that hurts!

[TracerBullet42]

Anybody watch the premiere last night? This show is quickly becoming my greatest guilty pleasure. There's just something about people running into walls and falling off of things that I just can't get enough of!

And what was with that mutated-power-ranger rock band singing about steak in the middle of the show? That was weird. Very weird. But awesome, nonetheless. The world could use more songs about steak...

Right you are Ken!

Ha ha ha! That was a good one!


The Japanese are an ancient and noble culture, but MAN, their game shows are BIZARE!

Yea, but all their gameshows are making fun of american culture.

That they are. Thing is, MXC is an edited version of a Japanese show that actually (sort of) HAD a plot. This isn't a competition we're watching between two teams, it's people trying to storm a castle.

try here or this page at Takeshi's Castle Online. Finally, this page seems to have some movies for download.

It looks like the Brits got a less-edited show in 2002, hosted by Craig "Lister" Charles. IMDB info here

I love the show. The hour long 'Tony Hawk and whatever her name was' episode wasn't as good as the stuff from Japan. The voice overs and Kenny and Vic saved it, but I found the antics of stupid American kids to be stupid.
