Rating: - I never thought the human body can hold so much blood
A Takashi Miike is always worth looking out for, and this one was highly anticipated. It's one of his earlier Yakuza movies, but still very Miike in approach that was highly recommend to me by another great reviewer by the name of Dave K. We open innocently enough with young Riki Fugoh playing catch with his beloved brother Ryu. The entire family, however, is yakuza. After Ryu retaliates for the actions of the rival Nioh gang, the boys' dad kills Ryu to save his own neck. Young Riki, is not amused.
Ten years later, Riki (Shosuke Tanihara) is the smartest, best-looking kid in his high ... Read More
Rating: - What's not to like?
Six-year-old hitmen. Hermaphrodite soft-core porn. Death by acid. Stripper high school girls who fire darts from their you-know-whats. A North Korean assassin who flies into a killing rage over bad kim-chee. This early effort from autuer Takashi Miike is a totally uninhibited, exhuberant, blood-soaked low-budget mess, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't know why. Most people probably won't like it.
Rating: - The Crying Game
Remember the Neil Jordan flick "The Crying Game", about love and death and terrorism and gender-bending confusion in Great Britain?
Well, my critical reaction to Takashi Miike's "Fudoh", one of his roughly bazillion flicks about Yakuza doing that voodoo that They do so well (which is to say: killing other Yakuza)will be called just that: The Crying Game.
Would you like to know why?
It's not because at one point (between killings), its sailor-suited schoolgirl Yakuza assassin unveils her own little biological---erm---surprise, literally amidships.
Rating: - Nothing Special.
Lately I've been getting into Asian-Cinema, and the king of it seems to be Takashi Miike. Releasing 63 films in the last 13 years, he's certainly a busy man, and he does his best to make some of the most bizarre movies out there, this being no expection.
The first problem with this DVD is the actual DVD.
It has no DVD Menu, no Sound options (Japanese Stereo + English Subtitles), and no extra features. The movie does have 3 trailers for other films which play right before the movie (Much like a VHS Tape). The video on the DVD Is nothing special either.
Rating: - Not as bad as a stick in the eye but it comes close
The plot of "Fudoh: The New Generation" goes some thing like this. Father kills son. 10 years later younger son takes revenge using a gang made primarily of pre-teens. Now that you know what the movie is about you don't need to watch it. This has to be the worst movies I have ever seen. It is even worse then Starship Troopers II. There is no character development the plot line is about as good as a porn movie. Im not saying this because of all the nudity but rather it is just unbelievably lame.
With the exception of the first action scene the action sequences are slightly worse then what ... Read More
