Deadpool 2's Bath Scene Called Absurd By Actual Yakuza Expert

A Yakuza expert has dubbed the bathhouse scene in Deadpool 2 absolutely absurd. Deadpool 2 is a ridiculous movie for many reasons, so it's not surprising that the opening montage that depicts Deadpool taking out Yakuza members in various situations would include some pretty unbelievable moments. However, it's also fair to say that some creative license has been wielded, as capably as Deadpool's katanas. Tatsuya Shindo is a pastor and ex-Yakuza member who has seven convictions and has been to prison three times. He watched the Deadpool 2 scene, which sees Deadpool enter a bathhouse where several Yakuza members are bathing with their katanas. He draws his swords, they draw theirs, and chaos ensues as they exit their respective baths dressed in underwear. But to rate the scene on it's realism, Tatsuya, unsurprisingly, has a few criticisms to make. It doesn't look like a bathhouse. They would never wear underwear there. Ever. There's no way you'd take a sword inside a bath. That would ruin a sword right away. Of course, there is a law in Japan about blade length. Blade length is regulated. If you have a blade that's longer than this, you will be arrested immediately. So you can't just walk around with one unnecessarily. This film is absurd. If I were to rate how realistic it is on a scale of 1-10, I would give it minus 5. There aren't many mistakes to speak of when considering a movie as financially and critically successful as Deadpool 2. As a movie that in many ways improved on it's predecessor, it now falls to the MCU controlled Deadpool 3 to continue that trend. And with the promise of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine's inclusion, along with a plethora of Fox's X-Men, it's safe to say that expectations are high. There's still a chance for Deadpool 3 to fumble the bag, though that is thankfully unlikely. Provided Disney sticks to it's word about keeping Deadpool as an R-rated romp, it's success is practically written in stone.
