Kids Return (キッズ・リターン Kizzu Ritān?) is a 1996 Japanese film written, edited and directed by Japanese filmmaker Takeshi Kitano.
The film was made directly after Kitano recovered from a motorcycle wreck that left one side of his body paralyzed. After extensive surgery and physical therapy he quickly went about making Kids Return amidst speculation that he might never be able to work again. At the time of its release it was his most successful film yet in his native Japan, which until then had been notedly much less enthusiastic about his films than international viewers.
The movie is about two high school dropouts who try to find a direction and meaning in their lives—one by becoming a yakuza lieutenant, the other by becoming a boxer.
