About this product

Product Information

Prolific director Takashi Miike (AUDITION) keeps finding new ways to test the boundaries of on-screen violence. ICHI THE KILLER is a masterful piece of filmmaking, simultaneously funny and horrific, but it's only for viewers with strong stomachs. One character, Kakihara (Japanese indie film heartthrob Tadanobu Asano), a masochistic yakuza lieutenant, has slits in his cheeks through which he blows cigarette smoke and gleefully hacks off his own tongue to apologize for his impudence. Then there's eponymous assassin (Nao Omori), a painfully shy but sadistic young voyeur who wears a leather superhero outfit to work. Manipulated by the cagey and mysterious Jijii (English translation: "Gramps," Shinya Tsukamoto), Ichi lashes out and massacres those Jijii deems bullies, and basically anyone else who upsets his frail psyche. Jijii uses the demented lad to start a bloody war between rival yakuza factions. Miike's film is full of grotesquely over-the-top violent set pieces, including flying entrails, graphic mutilations, and even a severed human face splattered against a wall and slowly sliding to the ground. It's all captured with kinetic camerawork and hyperactive editing. It's not for everyone, but bolder viewers will find it uniquely entertaining.

  • Don't do unto others....

    You know that old biblical saying "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you"? Well, after you see this movie, you will always have to add "Unless you happen to be a masochistic weirdo, then don't" to the end of that saying. It's true that this is an extremely gory movie, but the gore is so unrealistically stylized that I didn't really find it disturbing. Even though I couldn't properly say I "liked" the characters (they were all pretty despicable) I thought that even the more minor characters like Karen were intriguing. And the way everything in the film was shot, and the lighting, and the way the film was cut up created a fantastic world of dingy beauty. I highly recommend you buy this film, because it's one of those films you can watch again and again and find something new ...

  • Stylish, violent....a classic.

    Some movies are incredibly violent. Others are real cool. It's hard to find one that can fit into both categories, however, Ichi the Killer does just that, and does it extremely well. Think of it like Kill Bill, just without the empty Hollywood flair and with actual gruesome scenes. The characters are actually very complex, each having their interweaving reasons for wanting to find Boss Anjo. Not a mindless gore flick by any means!

  • Great Quality

    The product was packaged well and the movie had great quality!

  • Weird, uncomfortable at times, entertaining

    Some scenes are hard to stomach while others are laughable and unreal. The story is sometimes hard to follow. An interesting movie nonetheless.
