(post moved-I felt it would be easier to understand this way)

I've been checking out these dvd's from a series called Tokyo Shock (might be the company, localization company even)
They published the films Tokyo Gore Police and Versus which I just finished watching alittle while ago.

It was alright. I think the whole movie was a metaphor for good versus evil. That one couldn't exist without the other or invariably the equation would balance in the opponent's favor. These are the reversal roles.

Sounds good, I may check it out one day.

Hmm, for me the Japanese films that instantly spring to mind are "Lady Snowblood", "The Machine Girl", and "Fulltime Killer".

I must have watched more than that, but those are all that instantly come to the tip of my tongue/typing finger, so I guess that those must be the ones that made the biggest impression on me.

- And they are all worth viewing. :lol: Especially "Machine Girl". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2mmjxLe3ZQ - I especially like the way that she catches the chaingun after throwing it in the air, it's just so... Bruce Campbell. :P

Aye, you've done your homework dear =)

Tokyo Gore Police is also directed by Yoshihiro Nishimura


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Gore_Police Basic film synopsis =)

Thank you for posting a link to The Machine Girl trailer. I've wondered what it was about ever since I seen Tokyo Gore Police. It looks really interesting, and yes the catching the chain gun scene was awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing the flying guillotine..that's just frightening heh

There's a funny scene like that in versus. The girl our protagonist is with get's pissed at him because he keeps taking clothes off of the people he kills (the film starts with him in prison uniform) including a trench coat and sunglasses (although he doesn't keep those heh)

I seen The Machine Girl recently. I liked it. Both movies reminded me of Blood The Last Vampire, how they are filmed around well lighted areas in dark spaces :|
