The Great Yokai War
What’s On TV In The Strange World Of TOKYO GORE POLICE?
Posted by Todd Brown at 1:59pm.
Posted in Trailer Alerts , Cult, Horror, Asia.
I’m sure any regular readers of Twitch are well aware of Yoshihiro Nishimura’s outrageous splatter film Tokyo Gore Police by this stage. I’ve had the chance to see it on the big screen a couple times now and one of my favorite parts of the film is how Nishimura takes a bit of time to establish a compelling world for the film, a task accomplished in no small part thanks to the bizarre ads that run on television within the film. An anti-harakiri PSA? That’s in there. As is a quartet of schoolgirls chirping happily about how cute their new, designer, brightly colored wrist-slashers are. There are four of the TV spots in all and they’re bizarre, compelling stuff that give the film a bit of satiric bite. And now all four have appeared online. They’ve released unsubtitled versions - which is a shame - but they’re still fantastic. You’ll find all of our Tokyo Gore goodness below the break.

This shows just how brilliant and ahead of its time Robocop was when it was initially released, more than twenty years ago.
Todd Brown 09/17/2008 @ 4:46am
IT’s supposed to be on DVD in December.
