Tokyo Gore Police

Every so often as a film geek you watch a film that pushes the realms of good taste. John Waters' Pink Flamingoes, Jacksons' Bad Taste, I Spit On Your Grave were all examples of such films. Tokyo Gore Police is like the bastard son of all these who you just kept kicking and torturing. This is one very fucked up film and I don't say this in jest it will not suit everyone's taste although I feel Gonzo would benefit from viewing it.
Set in a future Japan where the police have been privatized a female police agent by the name of Ruka hunts down criminals known as Engineers. Now this is where things start fucking up. Engineers are genetically modified so that when wounded the wound becomes a weapon such as a chainsaw coming out of their arm. I will certainly mention this later. Ruka is pretty fucking hot. Running around in knee high boots and a short skirt with a Samurai sword.This is one blood filled film though and it never lets up.
Ruka is on the trail of a serial killer who drains his victims blood using a selection of metal tubes.Our rather twisted serial killer kills prostitutes so this gives us a good excuse to have Ruka dress up in stockings, boots and of course the mandatory sword disguised as an umbrella. When molested on the subway she casually cuts off the hands of her molester and walks away umbrella aloft as he stands with fountains of blood spraying from his wrist stumps. Very Shogun Assassin. If you don't know what that is then this isn't a film for you and I'm sure Twilight is still on at the cinema. Fucking puffs.
During her first encounter with the serial killer she has a flesh key inserted in a wound (don't fucking ask. I'd lost the story by this point) and of course becomes an Engineer. A back story of her fathers murder leads to revenge.;)
Throughout this film it has Starship Trooper style adverts my favourite of which was for a multi coloured wrist cutting knife for self harming. Believe me there is nothing that is taboo for this film maker.
Children are shot, women mutilated, football is played with a human head, people are pissed on and a man has his cock bitten off and that turns into a huge phallic weapon! Throw in an amputee gimp with blades for arms and some rubber fetish and its like a party that you really don't want to fucking be at.It is almost impossible to describe the carnage that this film is. Think of it as John Waters, Tarantino, Takashi Mike on acid with a touch of Verhoeven. If you don't know who these people are then either find out or end your own life using a blunt fish fork. Go on stab yourself in the eyes.
I don't really have a clue what the fuck this film is about but it doesn't really matter. If you've got no fucking taste and are slightly twisted like myself then you will fucking love this. If you are not the above then avoid like the plague. You'll only end up vomiting down yourself and embarassing your family again. Didn't you fucking do that enough at Christmas.
Leave Your Brain At The Door and Enjoy The Gore out of 5

This film sounds fucking awesome!
You have to fucking see it to believe it. It goes beyond fucking insane.
AWESOME. Where did you discover this little beauty of a film? This is added to the much watch list.
Discovered by complete accident. Cannot recommend it enough. Its so wrong yet so so right.
It looks so cool. The same production team also made another film previous to this one it seems. Machine Girl. Defo worth a look
