Product Description

From the people who gave you The Machine Girl comes the even crazier Tokyo Gore Police! The makeup and special effects guru behind The Machine Girl, Exte, and Meatball Machine, director Nishimura Yoshihiro remakes his own award-winning 1995 indie short Anatomia Extinction into a gleeful splatter galore bound for cult classic status. Spilling buckets of blood and then some more, Tokyo Gore Police has all the gore, exploitation, action, and sickly inventive use of body parts you could possibly ask for. Eihi Shiina from Audition stands tall and beautiful in the midst of the sadistic mayhem as the vengeful monster slayer in a very short skirt. Living up to its billing with eye-popping gore, comically over-the-top perversions, and thoroughly entertaining madness, Tokyo Gore Police is a must-watch for fans of gore and extreme cinema.

Sexy katakana-wielding cop Ruka ( Eihi Shiina )is part of a special paramilitary squad that maintains order in the tough streets of futuristic Tokyo by squashing violence with ultraviolence and merciless executions. Her latest mission is to hunt down a mad scientist known as the Key Man who has developed a virus that mutates humans into hideous killing machines. These monstrous man-creatures might be able to sprout wacky weapons from their wounds, but they're no match for Ruka who's been on a vengeful bent ever since her father was murdered. The case turns bloody personal when Ruka discovers that Key Man may be linked to her father's death.

Synopsis

In the near future, a beautiful police officer in a schoolgirl's outfit (Eihi Shiina, AUDITION) is put in charge of eradicating humanity latest menace: mutants. The carnage rarely stops, though it gets progressively more inventive--and stomach-churning--in this gruesome sci-fi phantasmagoria.

Everything you'd expect from those crazy Japs and more.
I was pleasently astonished by what I saw in this film.
It does exactly what it says on the tin in a spectacular way.
If you're looking for thought provoking drama, look elsewhere.
If you want to lose yourself for a couple of hours in an utterly insane over-the-top twisted gore fest of spraying blood and astonishing use of make-up (with subtitles), then you've come to the right place... Hollywood, this is Not.
If Hollywood tried to remake this, they'd fail miserably.
Not for the faint hearted.

Not everyone will agree, but I'm me... and you're You.

Sequel/Prequel anyone? Count me in!

5.0 out of 5 stars Contender for my Best Horror Film of 2009, 5 May 2009
Its only the beginning of 2009, but Ive already found the first contender for my Best Horror Film of 2009 list-the insanely over-the-top, delightfully splattery Tokyo Gore Police. If this is a sign of whats to come for horror fans this year, wefre all in for a treat.

A heady mixture of Takashi Miikefs typical Japanese insanity and David Cronenbergs pet theme of bodily dysfunction (with homages to the social parodies of Paul Verhoevenfs Robocop and Starship Troopers), Tokyo Gore Police wears its inspirations on its sleeves (right next to all the blood and pieces of flayed flesh)-its not a particularly deep film, but if you love Japanese cinema with an abundance of severed limbs, geysering fountains of blood, and cute girls dressed up like theyre headed to a cosplay convention, this is a film youll certainly want to check out.


The hauntingly lovely Eihi Shiina (you may remember her as Asami from Miikes classic, Audition) is Ruka. Rukafs a young cop on a special unit designed to hunt down gengineersh. Engineers are some sort of mutants with a weird key-shaped gene that makes them go completely psychotic and murder anyone and everyone in their path. The only way to kill an engineer is to deliver a blow to them that cuts the key in half-any other injuries not only dont kill them, but instead turn into Cronenbergian weapons (think the flesh gun from Videodrome and youve got it). In this wacky future Japan, the police force has been privatized (which leads to all sorts of room for parody), and when Rukafs not tracking down engineers (or slicing her wrists) shes seeking to find out who killed her father (a decorated cop assassinated in the line of duty).

The story is the films greatest shortcoming. TGP runs for a little under two hours, and one often gets the feeling that it could have been tightened up significantly. The subplot involving Rukafs father isnt all that interesting (nor is the reveal at the end when she finds the killer) and it eats up some significant screentime in the latter half of the movie. Thats the only complaint I have though-the rest of Tokyo Gore Police runs like a well-oiled (if that oil were blood) machine.

TGP succeeds whenever Ruka is required to fight an engineer, and director-slash-FX wizard Yoshihiro Nishimura understands this implicitly. In the films early stages, theres some kind of crazy gross gore moment happening roughly every three minutes. Limbs are sliced off, heads removed, eyes plucked, castrations you name it, its in here somewhere. Nishimura never forgets that one of the three words of the title is gore and as such the film delivers so much carnage and destruction that its right up there with Jacksons Dead Alive and the oeuvre of Olaf Ittenbach when it comes to the most splattery films ever made.

What sets Nishimurafs film apart from Ittenbach is that Nishimura seems to be genuinely creative. The gore is thick in TGP, but its also fairly inventive. There are tons of standard gore gags littered throughout the film (with this much dismemberment, its a given) but then there are occasions where Nishimura really strives to do something new-take for instance the woman engineer who has the entire lower half of her body turn into crocodile jaws or the guy who develops a giant crutch cannon-and the movie manages to surprise you with its inventiveness.

Complementing the gore in TGP is a wacky sense of humor. The film boasts numerous public service advertisements that are genuinely funny and creative. Theres a dont commit hara-kirih ad, a great piece on a new Wii game that allows the whole family to murder people right from their own living room, and commercials for fashionable wrist-slicers. If that werent enough, the film boasts a Battle Royale-styled Japanese girl who intrudes at various interludes to cheer the police on in their mission to eradicate the engineer plague. All in all, the humor provides a nice counterbalance to all the gory mayhem. This is one of the few gore comedies to get the balance right.

If nothing else, Tokyo Gore Police proves that you can make a film that pays homage to other movies yet still maintain an identity of your own while doing it. The title tells you pretty much everything you need to know on this one-if you love quirky Japanese gore flicks, this is well worth your time. It gory and funny and quite possibly one of the best cult films well see all year. The Horror Geek com

5.0 out of 5 stars awsome, 6 Sep 2009
i would not call this a horror film as it is more a black comedy/satire it is fantastic fun full of over the top gore and wild imaginative effects. it hits the ground running and accelarates with the opening scene a mans head exploding. maybe not one for all the family but great fun none the less its no citizen cane and all the better for it.
