Tokyo Gore Police
2008 ‘Tôkyô zankoku keisatsu’ Directed by Yoshihiro Nishimura
Synopsis
Tokyo Is Burning
Set in a future-world vision of Tokyo where the police have been privatized and bitter self-mutilation is so casual that advertising is often specially geared to the "cutter" demographic, this is the story of samurai-sword-wielding Ruka and her mission to avenge her father's assassination. Ruka is a cop from a squad who's mission is to destroy homicidal mutant humans known as "engineers" possessing the ability to transform any injury to a weapon.

Just...what in the fuck...
Whatever the fuck...
It was fun.
That's all I can say to describe such a bizarre, yet oddly original film.
It's certainly a feast on the eyes. You may be confused about what you see, but it's an interesting sight.
A fun and just plain batshit insane sight. -
"Engineers. We have to kill them by any means. They are…humanity’s new enemy."
-Tokyo Police Chief (Yukihide Benny)This is very much one of those movies where you find yourself asking – ‘what in the good name of all that is holy did I just watch?’. In all likelihood you will also either angrily object to such a preposterous mess of a film, or just shrug your shoulders and get swept up in the lunacy that is Japanese cinema. And this is a sterling advertisement for it if ever there was one, a nightmarish fever dream of dystopia Tokyo, mutants and girls with samurai swords!
The film opens with a girl’s dad’s head blowing up, a crazy tramp with bad…

Having caught Machine Girl last year I thought it best I gave Tokyo Gore Police a whirl.
The gore is plentiful. The plot is batshit crazy. Everybody looks as though they had a whole heap of fun making it. Throughout, I was getting strong whiffs of Robocop-type satire but it in no way felt forced or hindered the skewed world the film inhabits.
Tokyo Gore Police is a great niche movie, made for approximately £2.23p and exhibits some of the best bonkers'ness I've witnessed in a very long time.

Three words for you: Fountains of blood.

I can't explain why someone made this film, or why I watched it, but the great question is why (or how) in god's name I liked that movie?
Is there any movie with more gore/blood than TGP?

A wholly enjoyable, wholly ridiculous flick.
-
Inventive, hilarious and oh-so-very gory. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually think the very minimal attempt at plot actually slowed the movie down - just give me more of those CR-AZY engineers!!

This was one of those movies where I thought there'd be a giant kick of humor throughout, due to the fact it had a shitty name and horrible plot description. It was laughable for a little while, but then it got worse. And worse. And worse. The story went everywhere and I have no idea what in the fuck I watched. Avoid this film. It's not funny or amusing -- the best parts can be viewed on YouTube in less than three minutes, I'm sure.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Knapp einem Nervenzusammenbruch entgangen! Unterstreicht das Vorurteil das Japaner zu kranker Scheise neigen.
