Mickey Rourke in Vintage Japanese Commercials

Ever wonder what comeback king Mickey Rourke got up to in those wilderness years between appearing in 80s movies like Nine and a Half Weeks and Angel Heart, and his recent award winning performance in The Wrestler?
He was appearing in these Japanese ads. They are worth watching for the weird and inane dialogue, and Rourke’s barely concealed disinterest.

    Jesus Christ. I think he was doing a couple lines of something fierce before filming that first spot…

    Yeah, they probably should have waited to pay him until after filming!
