Check out the trailer for Ichi The Killer O_o

Sledge · 10-25-2003, 08:19 AM

That was unpleasant.

I've never seen a face slide down a wall before.

ninety09 · 10-25-2003, 08:27 AM

It's an interesting movie.. I really liked it, but it's not for everyone.. it's very violent ô0

3zos · 10-25-2003, 09:03 AM

Hehe, great movie. Constant, in your face, disturbation. And when you think it's so bad it cannae get any worse, it just keeps going. DEFINATELY not for everyone, just about one of the most graphically violent and sadistic movies of all time.

Mr.Deflok · 10-25-2003, 11:52 AM

Slicing nipples, I saw this on AICN a while back, it's actually a comedy.

Baldrick · 10-25-2003, 12:57 PM

I have no interest in seeing Ichi The Killer. Admitedly, I've only seen a couple of Takashi Miike's films, but I am definitely not a fan of his style. But I'll definitely give him respect for his work ethic - he's pumping out four or five films a year right now!

mattevil · 10-25-2003, 02:54 PM

the japaneses are a little f'd in the head with their used underwear vending machines and twin peaks conventions(like we have with star trek here BTW good show but conventions?). is still like some of the things that come out of there and they are a good source for hard to find editions of movies(directors cuts,laserdiscs,etc.)
BTW
as far a f'd up movies go it's hard to top Salo.

Chingal0 · 10-25-2003, 08:12 PM

Oh man, heh. Quite gory, its hard to believe that its a comedy as Mr.Deflok said. Interesting!

RedCometChar · 10-25-2003, 10:33 PM

My previous information on this movie was insufficient...I thought it was going to be a modernized version of the old Zato-Ichi movies, with the blind swordsman.

Looks like a good date movie. If you never plan on seeing the girl again.

matt_mll · 10-25-2003, 10:43 PM

my g/f is japanese. Can't speak for all of them, cuz I love her to death, but yes them some f*ed up people

Eiresol · 10-27-2003, 05:11 PM

It's based on manga.

Moobie · 10-28-2003, 07:17 AM

It's a comedy??!! Okay, now I have to get a copy of this and check it out. That looks so wicked.

Solitude · 10-31-2003, 08:32 PM

I want to see this Ichi movie now. Looks like a lot of fun.
How does it compare to Tokyo Decadence?

I've just seen things I wish I could unsee.

Snakebyt · 11-07-2003, 01:51 PM

looks like it would be interesting to watch, the only thing is that i cannot watch a movie with subs, i spend all my time reading, and no time watching

I have heard of the panty vending machines, but I have never seen one. My GF lived there for a while and the only one she knew of was buried someplace in the shibuya train station.

they do have vending machines for porn and beer on the street though. It's pretty sweet.

Ichi the Killer is a fun movie. But also could be very disturbing, depending on your mood. Great characters.

damhna · 11-08-2003, 06:01 AM

havent seen it but one of the reviews says "This could do the job very nicely as the "therapy" film in A Clockwork Orange" .

Based on the trailer I guess I can see why

Sparhawk · 11-08-2003, 06:47 AM

That was a little disturbing. I wonder how it compares to Irreversible in terms of violent imagery.

Cardinal Syn · 11-08-2003, 12:45 PM

I have it. English subtitles only. But i will say one thing. Its fricken weird. Defititly a must see.

yellowgowild · 11-11-2003, 08:59 PM

Can't be as bad as "Versus".

Ganguro · 12-15-2003, 10:57 AM

Versus was a great movie!
I liked Ichci the killer, though i thought they could have explored the backstory of Ichi and the yakuza girlfriend a bit more. Or even fleshed out the main character's purpose a little more. Like.. whay was he a masochist?, how did he get to know all those weird people, what was the deal with his facial piercing, etc..
The characters in that film were soo interesting they oculd have done much more with it, but they didnt dig deep enough to make you care about anyone, even ichi.

Holo · 12-15-2003, 03:17 PM

I loved this movie. I made a review of it in the review a movie thread. Yeah it has cheese in some spots but it's one of the best movies of it's kind. And Versus was Oscar material compared to Full Metal Gokudo. I know FMG wasn't a horror flick but the cheese scared the shit outta me

I'm Japanese and yes there are some f*ed up people. At times I am very embrassed as a Japanese person, that Japanese people seem to enjoy and produce these things.

Crack · 12-18-2003, 04:23 PM

After watching the trailer, I really want to see this movie...

Nikilidstrom · 12-18-2003, 08:26 PM

If I remember this movie, doesn't he have the facial rings to keep his face together, because he had been sliced from ear to ear? If this is the right movie, he is always blowing smoke out both his face holes on either side of his mouth.

JohnS72 · 12-19-2003, 12:38 PM

I guess this is one preview we won't be seeing in the theaters :-p lol

username · 12-19-2003, 02:57 PM

This is an awesome film. I have it on DVD, the only problem with it is you have to be careful who you watch it around.. It is a bit much in some places. One of Miike's films to really gross people out is Visitor Q. That will really make people squirm.. Then you realize it is a comedy (like all of his films in some way) and you laugh the rest of the movie.

Anomaly_ · 12-19-2003, 03:45 PM

Like Battle Royale, I think the violence is so over-the-top that it actually is less violent than some R-rated Hollywood movies. The CG scene of the guy splitting down the middle was really pretty funny. I thought the most the disgusting part was the semen drenched potted plant.

Well i know that is the literal reason why he had the piercings, but i mean Miike doesnt give us any backstory about anyone but Iichi and the ex Cop.. It would have been nice to see him flesh out the characters a bit more.. but this trait is typical of japanese movie..

Nikilidstrom · 12-20-2003, 12:45 PM

I just watched Battle Royale for the first time last night, and maybe I am totally jaded, but I didn't find it any more violent or gore filled than any 1980's hollywood action movies. Regardless, I thought it was a great movie.

soccerchamp76 · 12-24-2003, 12:52 AM

This movie was absolutely disgusting in so amny different ways.
The body in half would be a little more interesting if it did not look so fake, along with the blood squirting out of the girl's body like you just puntured a pressurized can of aerosol.
The torture scene just made me cringe, along with his self mutilation of his tongue. Crazy masochists.

djflish · 12-24-2003, 05:42 AM

i don't know if i've be desensitised by years of movie violence, but i thought it was pretty tame after seeing the trailer. Didn't disturb me in the slightest

PoteMatic · 12-24-2003, 10:15 AM

Looks crazy lol I duno about that not really my kinda movie.

soccerchamp76 · 12-24-2003, 10:43 AM

If seeing a guy slice off his tongue with a sword very closeup and have a guy hanging from the ceiling by hooks in his skin while someone else takes a long sharp needle and sticks it in various places in the guys mouth then procedes to pour boiling hot oil onto the guys bare back and watch a guy get chopped in half is your thing; go see this movie.

Ganguro · 12-25-2003, 06:57 AM

ok, so you didnt like it because of he voilence, no need to shitcan the movie. All of miike's movies are like this, it's a genre just like our slasher movies here.. it's not "more sick" because it's japanese.. I hate when people start in on this "them japs are crazy" kinf of talk. Thats very ignorant in my opinion. Anywho.. Ultimately.. you should know what you are getting into before you see any foreign movie, becasue..
1) it's foreign and you proally dont speak the language.
2) It's from another culture so cut the movie some slack.
2) If you are seeing it on DVD or VHS then it's proally a few years old and the reviews for anything are already online.

soccerchamp76 · 12-25-2003, 09:51 PM

I actually enjoyed the movie Ganguro; just those seems made me cringe and I am not one to cringe upon seeing movie violence. The CG of the body in half was humorous, though, along with slicing the girl's neck.

Nikilidstrom · 12-28-2003, 09:24 AM

Hey, I loved the movie, mainly because those japanese are crazy. Again, I might be a sick puppy, but I thought the ending on the roof was hilarious, after ichi gets shot and Kakihara was begging him to get up and fight. I could have done with a little less semen, though.

FlorentinoAriza · 12-29-2003, 02:31 AM

Miike Takashi is god !!

if you liked ichi , check out fudoh. it has the same twisted humor.
