Takeshi's Castle, a game show hosted in the 1980s by Kitano featuring slapstick-style physical contests, has gained cult popularity in the United States ( where portions are broadcast on Spike TV as MXC, formerly Most Extreme Elimination Challenge ) and in the United Kingdom where it was given a voiceover by Craig Charles, though these feature very little of Takeshi Kitano as they are heavily edited.
