:) Glad to know the racist undertones were easily picked up upon.

No, I'm not racist. However, Middle Eastern horror has never interested me like it does some people. Ju-On was lame. So was Ringu.

At any rate, I didn't know if it followed the traditional patterns of a stereotypical Japanese horror film.

Thanks for the responses.

Well, it's not really a horror movie. It's a Yakuza film, taken to the furthest extreme of the genre. There's some gore, but it's not like Dead Alive or anything like that. What there is a lot of, however, is sadism. I think it's an excellent movie, just don't go into it expecting a horror film, because you'll certainly be disappointed.

I just bought this movie yesterday (not rated) Im pretty excitted to watch it tonight. It will be placed in my horror collection as it says on the box "action horror". But only about three more hours till i watch it.

I don't really consider it horror at all. It's more a yakuza/black comedy... just a rather weird, gory one. I love it myself. One of my favorites. Make sure you see the unrated version though. A friend of mine accidently bought the rated version and... ugh.

I agree I pimp Netflix all the time.. And dont worry the Ichi that Netflix has is not cut at all.. So you get to enjoy all of the brutality that is One the Killer!

I personally love this flic it is not for the faint of heart though it is very hard core and gory..

Netflix my boy Netflix has them all and there all uncut.. buy yourseld a DVD burner and own them all..Yes I am a pimp for Netflix.

Really good film, in fact ive never seen a bad film by Takashi except for his Psycho MPD movies, but if you liked Iche, you have to see his other movies like, Gozu ( my favorite ) and Audition, and Full Metal Yakuza.

Izo is nuts too, out of control. "Beat" Takishi is in it too WooT.

Ichi the killer
 

I guess it's a japanese horror movie well it was so weird, I totally loved the white haired guy with his pierced mount, so cool, but the movie was so fake, the blood was a little too red and because that it looked fake, I did like the story thou but every killing scene was a little too funny (or I'm just weird) was it a horror comedy?

Well when I'm going to the movies i find myself laughing with things other people seriously don't think it's funny, lol.

Re: Ichi the killer
 

It´s more comedy than "Horror", i would say. More like a gory Tarantino movie.
