Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Wow. Pretty fucking insane. I have also just bought the anime and watched the first half hour. So, who likes the movie and who thinks it's shite?My favourite scenes were the initial flipping of the light switch, and the bit where the slut tries to act like a masochist which backfires when Ichi slices her up, thinking that she enjoys it, even though she's acting helpless. Good thing too, because she was getting me pretty hot and bothered. Even though she was talking about getting her legs cut off and stuff, I guess it was the tone of her voice and also looking at her that really did it for me.

rufus13th Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Ichi the Killer is a masterpiece in my eyes - my favourite Miike title and one of my favourite JPN movies. Did you watch the uncut version?The UK version is heavily censored. You need to import the US or Dutch version for a fully uncut version with English subtitles (the Dutch version has better picture quality).Ichi the Killer was meant to be an anime series but got cancelled after the first episode (which is available on DVD now). Not sure why as I really enjoyed the first instalment.Ichi-1 (the prequel to Ichi the Killer) is shite. Absolutely disappointing, lacks narrative focus, not to mention the visual flare that Miike usually exhibits in his titles. To suggest that it's better than Ichi the Killer is insulting... but each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rufus13th Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Around three or four minutes have been reframed/removed. Namely the prostitute beating scenes as the BBFC greatly oppose the glorifying of harming women (which was never the film's intent).The audio commentary has film expert Bey Logan wincing at certain chapters. This is confusing to the viewer as the shots have been reframed to keep the violence off screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 ace flm. utterly superb. I'm very drunk so I'm going to keep it brief (it's a fucking chore typing this as it is) but Ichi is fucking fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Commander Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 I think it's good, but having only watched it at the start of the year, and having heard about it for a good while before, I was slightly dissapointed. It's a good film, but did not live up to the hype that had generated about it. The violence is pure cartoon, and it's nowhere near the sickest film ever, as some people had been talking it up as.

Fast Caz Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Yeah the anime version explained everything that the film didn't explain.Like when he kept getting an erection over dissecting the frog and his dad beating his mum while they were at it.I really enjoyed this film and the anime version of the film.I want that suit he wears makes him look like a psychoherokiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midgeski Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 it didn't really do anything for me. but that could've been cos we watched it dubbed, and it pretty much lost its effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK version is censored (sorry to repeat myself but I don't think people are understanding how badly censored the film is over here). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
