Movie Review: Tokyo Gore Police (2008) Fever Dreams LLC

  • D: Yoshihiro Nishimura If the Motion Picture Academy of Art and Sciences weren't such a bunch of snobby limp- wristed sissies this should have won for best foreign-language picture of 2008. Near future Tokyo is run by private police who look like crosses between a samaurais and Darth Vader. A gleeful coroner with an eyepatch and a blue mowhawk takes bloody tumor- like keys out of dead bodies.

    Now he'll HAVE to get a girlfriend. A sexy policewoman who runs around in a black leather mini skirt,fishnets, trechcoat and a samauri sword watches a kid with too many face piecings eat caterpillars on the subway (in extreme close-up!) Chainsaws to the face, exploding heads, flying eyeballs, leather-clad amputee fetish prostitutes, exposed brains, dicks bitten off, hilarious fake TV commercials,

    Goth Girls ORDER NOW!!! intestines pulled out, faces cut off (and sometimes spit out of sake bottles!), a guy with a huge mutated penis that shoots bullets, acid spurting out of tits, Al Queada (or maybe Abu Grahib?) style executions by the boatload, patrons at a fetish club in blackface(!?) and a quadruple-amputee with machine guns for arms and legs(!!!)

    "In your FACE, Quentin." As in Shogun Assassin blood sprays out like a fire hydrant most of the time. In one scene she walks away from a tsunami of blood under an umbrella (!) A sexy blonde tatooed '40 WAV look chick narrates it all through a chrome microphone. The score is early-Stooges sounding music with deadpan female vocals. I want the soundtrack album! The end credits promise MORE GORE COMING SOON! Don't miss!
