Speaks no English, but did his cameo in Hostel (2005) in English for Eli Roth, of whom he is a fan. His character in the end credits is listed as "Miike Takashi."

By 2017 became one of the rare directors who has helmed over 100 films.

He was slated to make his English language debut with The Outsider (2018) with Tom Hardy in the titular role. However, the search for a new lead after Hardy's departure from the project conflicted with Miike's own commitments, which caused his dropout as well.

Has cited David Lynch, Hideo Gosha, David Cronenberg and Akira Kurosawa as influences.

Once said that his favorite film is स्टारशिप ट्रूपर्स (1997) by Paul Verhoeven.
