the Foreign/Jap/Asian action section.

I wouldn't classify it as horror myself.

Battle Royale isn't horror either, but I personally liked it better, it didn't seem as flashy and hipster as Ichi.

read this thread for some more info

to be honest Knight i think i took offence to what you said about it being kung fu blood style. But it doesnt matter because i was high last night. All i can say is i respect the movie alot. I think its because how realistic it is. And the way they managed to pull it off. But no disrespect knight. And battle royale is great i bought the book and am in the middle of it right now

How "realistic" it is? You ARE talking about Ichi the Killer right? Do you really think you can cut someone in half(vertically) with a blade that's only about four inches long?

The movie is based off of a manga and clearly keeps with the "manga" style of stylized "comicbook" violence and characterization. Some of the torture sequences DO look quite real, although in reality couldn't happen that way.

Not a bad movie(I liked it alot actually) but it is in no way (speaking of the OVERALL movie)realistic.

I'd rent it again.;)

In the bit when that lady's nipples are neatly sliced off, I'm ashamed to say I got an instant erection.

Q: Is this wrong?

Also in the section of movies that are not horror but appeal to horror fans because of the extreme nature are BATTLE ROYALE and BATTLE ROYALE 2-REQUIEM.Highly recommended.

Ichi The Killer
I just saw this recently, and I have no idea why everyone likes it so much. First of all, I thought the guy on the cover was Ichi, but actually it was this crying pussy. I must admit i did like the main character guy, but here's what I despised about the movie.

1. terrible CGI.
2. No good fight scenes (I was waiting for the showdown against the main guy and Ichi, but it sucked ass, it wasnt even a fight.)
3. C'mon poeple, it was NOT as gory as everyone says it is.
4.**SPOILER** the main guy dies and that pussy Ichi lives....wtf is that??!!
5. Plot was too hard to follow.
6. The dubbed version is absolutly terrible! Their voices are dubbed with a british accent! WTF!
