Almost half of that list appeared in Battle Royale and/or Ichi the Killer. Jun Kunimura appeared in all listed films.
I hope you can see why I can't be bothered to do the same for the top-20 lists of South Korean and Hong Kong films. Yup, those are equally incestuous.

Mel Gibson - The Road Warrior, Lethal Weapon

There's more than 20 movies in there though, I stopped counting at 35!
I was going to say you were wrong until I re-checked the list. Turned out I was looking at the wrong list. It was the top-50 list I used. *facepalm* All that effort.
Thanks for spotting my mistake. And please remind me not to post anything like that so late at night again.
