Survive Style 5 Plus 2004 DVDRip XviD-iMBT
A while back a rlslog reader gave me the idea to start doing Releaselog Staff picks of scene releases. I thought this was a really good idea and shared it with some of the staff who agreed and so did Martin. Bleez has already posted a first staff pick (Donnie Darko) but I just thought I’d introduce the actual idea properly. The plan is that when there are no other posts to make, Staff members can share some of their favourite releases with you. This will give you as much rlslog reading pleasure as possible, since a lot of you have noted that you hate returning to rlslog after a few hours and finding nothing new to read/download. The staff pick idea might also help you find new and cool stuff! Feedback to this idea is welcome in the comments.
My very first pick will be one of my all time favourite films: Survive Style 5+. Its very hard to explain what this film is about or what makes it such a great watch. Its even difficult for me to explain why I love it so much, but its a mixture of great cinematography, a great soundtrack and a cool Japanese cast (plus Vinnie Jones lol). The atmosphere of the movie is simply amazing and the colours and pretty much all the locations and sets could be considered art. If you like linear plots this film is probably not something for you, since the film follows 5 different stories (as the title implies) that in some way intertwine in the end. However if you like film eye-candy with fun music and an endearing plot, this might be something for you. It probably helps if you have a general interest in Japanese movies and culture but even if you don’t I urge you to check this rls out.
A man continually trying and failing to get his wife to stay dead; a self-absorbed ad agency creative director who comes up with one unworkably inane idea after another; a Brittish hitman who only wants to know everyone’s function in life; and an unfortunate office worker and father whose brain is left scrambled after a stage hypnotist is murdered in mid-performance. Starting off as unrelated plot lines, they intertwine with each other as they continue on their respective ways.
Quality: The quality of this rls is great. iMBT have supplied a top notch DVDRip at 1178kb/s video bitrate and 448kb/s bitrate AC3 audio. Picture quality is great and the colours are all vibrant and saturated as they were meant to be seen. You really can’t ask for much more from a DVDRip rls. English subtitles are naturally included.
This film includes the now rather famous Vinnie Jones as a British assassin. His role is pretty funny but definitely not the highlight of the film. Performances by Tadanobu Asano, Hiroshi Abe, Jai West and the beautiful Reika Hashimoto (although she dosen’t speak a single word during the entire film) make this film shine 
. This film is still being seeded at The Pirate Bay (see torrent link below) but by very few people. If you enjoy the film, please help seed it.

THIS is your FIRST staff pick?
SERIOUSLY???
ReeGed: No its the second dipshit, can you read?
Why judge something before you’ve even seen it? It just makes you look like the idiot you are
Great movie !
sounds cool, too bad these types dont get the adrive or yastorage treatment
This is one of my favorite movies of all time XDXDXD
yeaass
mvh,
P.Smash
the screenshots look very promising + i love vinnie jones.
is this movie in japanese or english?
rs links would be awesome, if someone finds ‘em.
ReeGed: Almost all the audio is in Japanese except for Vinnie Jones’ lines.

This movie was F**ked up…. but in a good way… interesting staff pick.
THIS is your FIRST staff pick?
SERIOUSLY???
ReeGed: No its the second dip, can you read?
********
I said YOUR FIRST … Can’t you read?
I’ve never heard of this film, but it looks good. I think I might just grab it. nice one Reeged.
@Heckle:
The way you worded it made it sound like you were directing the question at rlslog. If you’re talking to me, use my nick.
You just don’t know how to use the english language to your advantage m8.
Again, watch the film before judging it if you want to give off a slight hint of maturity.
Some ppl live to harrass staff.
and reason for not posting roscoe jenkins? bad quality perhaps?
title makes me think: LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOY JEEEEEEENKIIINS!!!
atleast i got chicken…
Awesome, awesome movie, excellent pick!
Even if you might not like Asian movies in general, you should definitely make an exception for this one
ROFLMFAO @ Ponysmasher.
LOL as if someone got it…..and that quick LOL ur my hero!!!!!!
“an unfortunate office worker and father whose brain is left scrambled after a stage hypnotist is murdered in mid-performance.”
That bit sounds great XD
The last image its funny lol i’ll give it a try
It’s a very good movie, although it might be an “acquired” taste. It’s very quirky and I suppose very Japanese, humour wise. The cinematography and directing is also top notch.
Tadanobu Asano (you can think of him as Japan’s Johnny Depp) is awesome as always and Vinnie Jones, whilst not exactly the best actor in the world, is actually quite good in this or at least plays his part well.
Good pick ReeGed
For more Tadanobu Asano movies, check out Ichi the Killer, Zatoichi, The Taste of Tea and Gohatto. None of these films are similar to Survive Style 5+ (then again, what is) but each are pretty good on their own right – it shows how diverse Asano as an actor is.
Trust your judgement ReeGed! Havent led me stray yet! Thanks for the pick, def looks interesting.
fair play rlslog aint having a good year so far but thats down to no good games or releases so you cant blame rlslog coz there aint no good scene rleases out there its jus dead out there dudes!!!!!!!
This suppose to be funny movie right? Nice movie though. ;P
P/S: @ReeGed, what is RLSLOG staffs top 5 movie list? Dont flame me ok, just asking..
ReeGed: Well you’ll find out with the Staff Picks
And don’t worry I wont flame you haha. I don’t mind negative comments, constructive criticism or feedback but it pisses me off when some immature twat just badmouths something without even thinking about checking it out.
THX for rs links but you must open it with vlc player, wmp wont open it(or i need to update my codec hi) grtz.
I had not heard of this, will give it a shot.
good idea with that staff picks… anyways, *what is your function in life?*;)
I dunno if this was said in the writeup, I read it but didnt seen an answer so…
Is this hard subbed or no?
ReeGed: No its not hardcoded subs. Two .srt files, one for each CD. Works perfectly with VLC ( http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ )
hmmm
somethings wrong here …. 24 posts about an asian movie and still no racist attacks towards asians?
thats very strange for rlslog ….
ReeGed: Thats because I’m killing all racist comments with the hammer of justice
come baby, come come babeyaaaa
I love japanese movies, I will definitely check this out. Thank you very much ReedGed for this pick!!!
All and all, great pick ReeGed.
I saw this movie when it came out in 2004 and thought I would never see it again due to my lack of spending money. No one else had even heard of it where I am.
If not hardsubbed, are there subs in the release?
–Günther
ReeGed: Subs are included in the rls yep
Yeah thx @ReeGed..
@jb what’s yours? ;P
Everyone posts so quickly, thanks for answerin g my questions already.
–Günther
I have to say i will get this and watch it asap ReeGed and i think this Rlslog Staff pick is a good idea i watch Bleez’s “Donnie Darko” pick and i have to say best movie i saw in a while reminds me of butterfly effect.
Ooh, this movie looks interesting. I will definitely check it out.
This is a great addition to RLSLOG!
@ReeGeed: Nice pick.
Also, keep pounding with that b&hammer – there are more suitable places to be racist at, if one really has to be.
@24, i was going to to ask the same thing.
Thanks ReeGed.
I’m downloading this movie now.
Wow. Nice going ReeGed. I’m a BIG movie buff but I’ve never ever heard of this! I think this staff pick thing is a great idea!
If I place those sub files with the avi file on a dvd, will I be able to still see the subtitles when watching it on a DivX dvd player? Or does it only work when using VLC on the computer.
this movie looks fantastic! yastorage, adrive, flyupload, basically anything with one link downloads would be appreciated.
cheers
@ ReeGed
nice one keep those moaners & whiners in their place… good film btw… lookin forward to more juicy staff picks!!!
i realy like this staff pick idea, newer heard of dony darko befoure and it was exelent. ill skip on this 1 tough,doesnt look that interesting.
waithing for next 1
This movie looks really cool.
Does this movie have any girls getting punched in it?!
@ReeGed
It will be a good idea if Rslog team scans the existing posts library and indexes their good post under staff pick.
It will give quick access to good stuff who recently discovered Rslog and may be missed some of the good releases.
And also it will help rebuild the torrent health of the older ones…
Also consider creating sub section under staff Picks for Movies Games and Apps…
ReeGed: Good idea, will share it with the crew.

no pw
It’s a funny movie and the girl who plays the guy’s wife is beautiful.
whoever yastorage’s this is my hero!
@47
agree!vito where are you?!
@43 yeah lol, the wife gets killed every 10 minutes.
do you beat your woman? cause that would be a bad thing
@ReeGed: Thats because I’m killing all racist comments with the hammer of justice
Please don’t, they make my day.
Interesting movie, i ll give it a try.
Can someone please me how to attach the subs to the movie using a mac.
ReeGed: Download VLC and keep the .srt files in the same folder as the video files. Subtitles should play automatically, if not just go [Video->Subtitles->English]
Cool movie. ReeGed, you get my vote for hardest working and most fair staff member…please, keep up the good work. It will be a tragedy if none of the following makes staff picks though.
“A Tale of Two Sisters”
“Pan’s Labyrinth”
“Oldboy”
“Dead Man’s Shoes”
“The Devil’s Backbone”
This looks great, thanks a ton.
If you like this, definitely check out Ichi the Killer as well.
I keep checking on Tito’s site for some links to get over here, but he’s not done it yet. He rocks pretty hard.
His BlogSpot has no ads, which means that he’s not getting any revenue for his great work. RLSLOG does have ads, and people should be clicking those every day.
–Günther
Very mediocre movie, too silly, too typical neo-Japanese, in fact, nothing special, that can’t be found in a anime. An all time favorite from one from the staff? Maybe, I am too old, have a more mature taste and know so much about movie history, that such a release for me is redundant. Thanks for the post, though. Opening up for a staff’s taste is always interesting. A favoritie movie for me would definitely be before 1977 and, of course, not american.
@ReeGeed
nice one mate, any film with vinnie jones is worth a watch just cos he was such a legend on the pitch back in the day! i must admit i had not heard of this, but will watch it and look forward to your (and everyone elses for that matters) next pick! good luck old boy!
@51 – Toppy
“Can someone please me how to attach the subs to the movie using a mac.”
No =P
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html
@Günther
Totally agree, except for the part about clicking on the ads. Sometimes they install spyware and then you will have more problems than before you clicked on the ads.
It is not worth the click.
That is: favorite.
@55 – monade
I hope you die soon than =D
I’ve got the avi file, but not the sub files. If anyone could just upload the sub files without the whole movie to RS I’d really appreciate it.
ReeGed: Download the torrent at The Pirate Bay and uncheck the .avi files (torrent programs like uTorrent and Azureus allow you to do this). This way you only have to download the .srt subtitle files.
@60, bit harsh lol:D
but @55, your rules for favourite movies are stupid. and i guess some of the popularity for this site is down to the editorial of the staff, i mean yeah they post all the obvious releases, but they select from the unpopular ones which helps you see good films you didnt know of.
@ 58
just get no script for firefox and none of those crappy ads pop up… solved!

What happened in 1977 that makes the cut off year for movies that you like?
Is that because special effects started to really become popluar in movies after that?

First comment here.
I love the site, very informative and a great read, love what you guys are doing here.
About the movie, it looks like it would be interesting and I might give it a shot.
Thanks for the sweet site though, I visit daily.
Why have I never heard of this before!? This looks wicked! All hiel staff picks!
tbh i dint like the movie, i like that bald english guy in many of his movies but dont really catch this one(well not totaly bald, but close shave of the hair), awesome quality, awesome audio, and great its here also.
If this is anything like “Monkey” im in
62
Not to sound corky, but Releaselog, which I enjoy very much, never posted a movie, I didn’t know of in advance.
why is bullet tooth tony in one of these pictures?
i think ya need to get get a black man to comment on some of the black movies that come out because the review ya post on those black film dont get a fair shake and sound half racist at time. i love this site it really classy i just think ya should embody all views and movies equally. just stay classy you guys a leader at this so lead well. thank you. oh im reping miss b’s 5th graders bob cats rule go park elementary.
Thanks for the reply Reeged. I burn all my dvds and watch them on my 42 inch plasma though so I need hard subs.
Will have to wait to see this one I guess.
Cheers,
Z
ReeGed: I think theres a way to view the subs on a DVD player but I rarely burn dvd’s so I’m not the right person to ask. Maybe someone will help you out soon so check back here.
@ mike
Duh, its vinnie jones…he is in the movie…
@57eitanois
open preferences in vlc, got to video/subtitles/osd
see the ‘use subtitle file’ box?
browse and select your srt file
save and reopen movie.
yastorage anyone?
nice! 700 leechers to 10 seeders XD
@monade
seriously. i think someones nose is growing, i mean come on. i cant be asses to look through the past for an obscure release, but the generes are so variable that you cant of heard of them all
@75
you can either burn with hard subs or turn your subs file into the dvd format. doom9.org has the answers!
What a waste of bandwidth. LOL
great idea guys! I was getting annoyed with just a few updates through out a whole day…plus the movie looks interesting as well since it got few of my favorite actors in screen shots
Thanks!
@RsRendi: Its actually quote from the movie… no one answered it, cos vinnie jones started to hurt people before anyone could make a sound… i love this one, i really do:)
GREAT idea posting staff picks! I always find myself perusing the staff pics section at video/CD stores. Its great to have other peoples opinions that isn’t some twat form the New York Times etc etc.
I would never have thought to pick up this movie, just doesn’t look like my cup of tea, but I think I’ll have to give it a go!
Look forward to the next staff picks, oh and keep up the good work here at RlsLog guys! Your work is outstanding
megaupload or mihd links please…^_^
Just arrived : Knight.Rider.2008.Pilot.HDTV.XviD-LOL
Looks good
@ReeGeed:
Is this, kind of, your assigned duties as part of the RLSLOG task team to post ‘Staff Pick’ article? So did TPB sponser those files? Just curious.
I see rlslog would rather delete comments about new releases than post them :-/ And what ReeGeed is going to comment over my comment in his red writing that offtopic comments will be deleted
just post it dam it
@75
Burning to DVD with subs is easy with the use of a program called “ConvertXtoDVD” which has also been posted about. Just type convertXtoDVD in rlslog’s search bar and you will find it….
After you install the program, all you need to do is drag the movie(s) you want to convert into the box. (Its all drag and drop). If its one part movie, drag just the 1 .avi file,… if there’s 2 same thing.
After you place the file in the box, a plus sign will appear infront of it. Just click that plus sign, and more plus signs will appear. Look for the plus sign now, next to “Subtitles” right click subtitles, and pick “Add subtitle Channel”… a pop-up will appear allowing you to search for your .srt(subtitle) file and allow you to then choose which one it is.
After you’ve added it, just click convert. And your done… the program will either burn it for you, or you can use the files for a later burn. Just be sure to turn the subtitles on with your DVD controller while watching it. All set.
Hope that helped.
Great idea I love it!!
The only bad part of rlslog is when there are no updates well and maybe some of the rude f**ks that post.
Can’t wait to see it.
why not eany more line were was IMDB rating, ?
Well done implementing my idea ReeGed. This film looks good. I’m glad to see your first pick isn’t a pile of wank. You make me proud. Can you recommend any yakuza movies?
I WOULD POST THESE…
Tales from the Hood (1995)
Interview with the Assassin (2002)
Howard the Duck (1986)
Super Mario Bros. (1993)
It’s Pat: The Movie (1994)
Airborne (1993)
Extremities (1986)
The Witches (1990)
Better Off Dead… (1985)
Earth Girls Are Easy (1988)
Harry and the Hendersons (1987)
The Wizard (1989)
Fire in the Sky (1993)
Your joking….right?
If Old Boy isn’t in the staff top 5 I will cry.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364569/
95 = Worst selection of movies EVER (Except Howard the Duck, pure class all the way)
Super Mario Bros.???
Harry and the Hendersons???
Dude, slow down on the magic green herbs.
hey, this looks interesting..thanks for this pick. never heard of it..will have to check it out. please dont limit yourself to scene releases..fuiuck the scene..
I think the staff picks their noses too.
@98 I love the green herbs and even I dont like super mario bros.Serial mom was a sweet movie that no-one watched though.
and this movie and Donnie Darko are both great.keep it up RLSLOG most people appreciate it.
oh, starring my new favourite abe hiroshi. asano tadanobu has of course been a long favourite of mine, even though i don’t share his taste in women.
a wee bit off-topic, but…..my partner claims she saw asano the other day in omotesando, i managed to see the back of the person she claims was asano. does that count for anything?
lastly, back on topic again, tu reeged for yet another gem (hopefully)!
Keep it up rlslog. Great picks so far
~monkey records~
I would appreciate if someone could put this on usenet, also is there a HD 720p rip of this?
The Staff Picks idea? Brilliant, thanks.
hey if you are making any staff pick
post it in old DVDrip Section
got it?
Thanks ReeGed, very nice idea to do staff picks. I personally don’t really like this movie, but still a good job
Really appreciate your hard work, thx a lot @ whole staff, especially for this section
It’ll be a tragedy if the staff pick for games doesn’t include Cake Mania 2.
gute punkte
this film was awful, vinny jones performance was embarrassing in this. Some nice visual elements but everything else sucked.
no thanks.
Best movie in a long time.
GReat pick
Br
Rb
And with that you fail at life. Thanks for playing.
I love this movie, it’s mostly random with some slight tie-in in terms of theme at the end (and overlapping stories). Great flick.
anyone wanna throw this up on filefactory ??
Saw this a few years ago. An absolutely amazing film, hilarious and very sweet.
The three Japanese youths committing B&E’s are priceless.
Intriguing! Vinnie Jones was excellent in my own personal all-time favorite flick, Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels. I also love movies like Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle…does this movie have anything in common with those movies?
i had this on 1CD. great film to recommend ReeGed. boy you work hard too.
EXTREMELY WELL PICK!! Absolutely love this move, saw it a while ago and didn’t really think about it before you guys posted it now, Excellent!
Awesome movie, watched it 1-2 years ago.
i just found reeged at warez-bb. is that really you?
ReeGed: Theres only ONE ReeGed

Interchangeable links, NO PASS !
Thanks. A pick well worth watching. Funny at times and artistically very creative. Director/writer is still feeling out how to present serious thoughts indirectly, which is why the coincidence of stories feels forced – or shallow – as the movie progresses. I found Vinnie to be one of the weak links, unnecessary as an actor. Btw, the version I downloaded from the rslog link had hard coded subs. Unfortunately, they didn’t translate some of the very beginning and many of the credits at the end.
Very nice. I love Japanese cinema. Thank you very much – please post more staff picks.
SONNY CHIBA FTW
This and American Psycho are some solid staff picks, not like Darko.
I’ve never commented here before but I gotta say thanks for posting that. I Loved it and I never would of heard of it otherwise.
Great movie, thanks a lot!! Does somebody has the soundtrack? The TPB torrent does not have any seeders
great movie..thanks reeged..nice choose..
This has got to be the second strangest movie from japan I have seen to date since I saw Wild zero. I think I need to rewatch it while drunk or high or both.
thanks ReeGeed
@Nobody
Piratebay has the soundtrack and one person is seeding it. I’ll try to keep seeding it as long as i can.
will this ever happen in US???

Guys can somebody upload subtitles for this film, but for 1cd.
I’ve downloaded from links at post num 6.
I’d hate to have to download again (especially) 2cd version just because i cant get any subs.
Watched this movie last night.
Brilliant flick, I’ll be looking at this category more often
Just finished watching it as a result of it being picked here, I wasn’t disappointed at all! Very funny and thoroughly entertaining.
More interesting picks please!
Watched this when it came out and loved it but I have never seen Oldboy. Anyone know of an active torrent out there cant seem to find one while lurking!
Thanks ReeGeed, I really enjoyed watching this movie, and I intent to watch it again. The look of the flick was just stunning. All the little details, which you can spot – really perfectionism mixed with surrealistic events. I liked the story too, it was bizarre in a good way.
-spoiler alert-
However, I am glad i didnt watch the pictures posted on your original message, at least the last one, where the man flies. It would have spoiled the great ending.
-spoiler alert end-
Waiting for your next recommendation reegeed
Thanks ReeGed for this exceptional release. I finally got around to watching this and it was amazing! It is nice to find out about films I missed that are this good. Keep up the good work!
Seriously… One big disappointment.
I love weird movies, but this one I just didn’t get.
Maybe I’ll have to watch it again.
Here’s the requested subtitle for one cd:

Links for The Wizard please.
Hella good movie!!!! this has probably changed my life. It’s so classic!
cool movie!!
I gave the movie a try. And I would say it succeeded. The woman is dragging me into the bedroom after watching it!!!
Actually??? What does that say about her?
@ReeGed: It’s so good to see that finally someone not just posts a movie and then lets “us” alone, with people posting all kinds of nonsense, racist comments and so forth. Thanks ReeGed, this makes me like to come here even more!
maybe when the japanese apologize for pearl harbour and own up to their war of agression in their textbooks that their children study i maybe more apt to watch these films.
I only got chance to see this now, and what a crap movie! And i like the genre, otherwise i wouldn't be leaving an opinion
