3.0 out of 5 stars What a pitty..., 5 Oct 2006
By Charles Wolf "Lupaster" (Italia) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Ichi the Killer is a stunning film in its cateory, BUT this is not it!

This is the censored, horribly cut version... What a pitty!
They give you the collector's edition pack that is presented so good, with even the manga version (which I truly enjoied a lot) and then you find out the live action version is the disgacefully cut one.. Unacceptable.

If you like this kind of movie, Ichi is a must but you will have to look for an imported uncut version somewhere else for this one is just no good.
Seriously, in a movie like this the censore is difficult to understand because it's taking away a big bite of the cake.

2.0 out of 5 stars Steer Clear..., 30 Oct 2004
By A Customer
'Ichi The Killer' is a great film. Unfortunately, this supposedly "Special Collectors Box" is a waste of money. Why? Because it's the censored version of the film.

Sure, the packaging and the extra features are nice, but the fact that a censored version of a film can advertise itself as being the collectors edition is frankly disgraceful.

Do not buy this. Look for an imported and uncensored version of the film instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating Box-set., 30 Nov 2005
By A Customer
Ichi the Killer is possibly one of the most incredible dark humoured films in existance, especially considering how little people understand the film even though they've watched it. The first disc is the uncut version of Ichi; the film is basically about Japanese mafia members, sadomasochism and a young lad who can't stop crying called Ichi. If I carry on, I'm sure I'm going to give something away that will spoil the movie, but it's well worth watching it a few times to make sure you know who everyone is, and what's going on. And remember- this is a comedy!
The second disc is a wonderful collection of interviews, backstage and gallery. If you enjoyed the film, you'll probably enjoy all of the featurettes, all of which have subtitles (except one trailer), though don't expect too much of an explanation. That's what the film's for. The same goes for the manga "version". It is not in fact a "version", it's more of a debaucherous and violent hentai movie on the theme of Ichi, akin to the cartoon series the film gets its basis from. Well worth a look.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Remarkable Work!!
"Koroshiya" or "Ichi The Killer" is a remarkable work. It is sure to upset a good few because it's themes and images are strong and provocative. Read more
