Tokyo Gore Police (2008). It took me more than a year to fabricate an appreciation for movies such as this or Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl, but now I cannot seem to get enough of them. Too much of a good thing is now never enough. Detractors of Tokyo Gore Police cannot restrain themselves from mentioning its shortcomings, but they seem to have missed the point, and likely more than that. The crazy editing may be wild but is far from incompetent. It speaks volumes without having to literally tell the viewer what the movie is up to. Various comparisons to Miike and Cronenberg are fair but seem to intimate a sort of cheap imitation, but I say these that Tokyo Gore Police stands on its own two feet. The story, while seemingly simple, might just have its roots deeper than that of a Starship Troopers mentality; I would go so far as to surmise that this was an extreme parody of samurai culture disturbingly blended with Nazism. The gore here speaks for itself . Honestly, I would love to learn just how many gallons of the red juice was actually spilled in the creation of this movie. The acting toed the line perfectly, wooden expressions and extreme histrionics fitting in well with the genre. The effects were a makeup artist's dream, full of amplified bizarre and fun outrages. The overall effect is that I simply cannot wait to check out the next speed-infused gore-fest that Japan has to offer.
