Pretty good Japanese yakuza flick with some Kill Bill-ish moments. It's the story of a newly indicted yakuza boss looking for the people who were involved in the disappearance of the top boss. If you are a fan of slash-em-up flicks, this one is a goody. Lots of violence, copious blood and a killer cool psycho-killer named Ichi who when provoked, cries like a baby and unleashes a wrath on his tormentors like you've never seen! Lots of very strange unique ways of getting people to fess-up in this movie as well as lots of action and many tongue-in-cheek moments. The special effects were either amazing (the guy on the cover of the DVD and what he can do with his mouth) or low budget, as if they were running out of money towards the end of filming and just threw fake blood around a room of bodies. However, what special effects there were held my attention. The DVD has an English and Japanese language selection as well as subtitles in both.Read full review
One of the greatest gore films with a hint of horror and that ocassional humor. But get the unrated version. The R-rated version cuts out some of the most memorable gore scenes that I love so much. The Unrated is a 5 star by all means. The english dub was well but some of the dubs didnt match the characters.
This film is just the most ultra violent and extreme, a true testament to challenging ones ability to keep their lunch down after watching a film of this caliber. Though its rated R for some reason, its NEVER EVER to be watched by someone under the age of 18 ... its just wrong to expose a child to this film. You will be molding your child to end up like that guy from the j-lo movie "THE CELL". yes this movie is that hardcore ... ENJOY!!!
If you are looking for something different, this movie is it. Maxim magazine rated this movie as one of the top 10 gross movies of all time. This movie is not your average hollywood flick. I enjoyed watching a film done in another country. If you need some alternate entertainment, check out this one.
gore is amazing in this film. It is unlike any other movie i have every seen. The director of this film has also done other gore horror films.
