ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Phil Hubbs Well its certainly gory that's for damn sure, I've never seen so much fake watery looking blood. It literately explodes from the screen into your face! fountains and streams of gushing blood at every turn.The films instantly conjures thoughts of 'Robocop' and 'Starship Troopers' as we are introduced to little news flashes or adverts showing thick dark humour laced with heavy doses of satire. A privatised police force that 'protects' Tokyo against the threat of engineers (self mutated insane berserker criminals).There's such a colourful blend of genres here its hard to pin down really, think 'Kill Bill' with quirky fantasy and horror. The plot is bizarre and chock full of fetish and kink, rubber bound ladies and femme fatales, a real pleasure for all alternatives out there. Add a crazy mix of down right blatant B-movie effects alongside some pretty good gore effects combined with ingenious camera angles and surreal visions.I liked the futuristic Japanese police with their black samurai suits and many of the nightmarish mutant engineers are fun to see in action. Lots of katana face splitting and body popping with a man who shoots eyeballs from little cannon extensions in his eye sockets to a girl who's lower half becomes a gaping alligator-esque maw.Visually and artistically its all completely comicbook/graphic novel or manga in style with so much blood it becomes comical rather than scary, but that's the idea really. Not really vicious, but more of a farcical screwball fury of violence with some nice slick visuals at times, highly bizarre imagination and many memorable cult moments. I think I can see where Tarantino looks too for inspiration or is it vice versa? loved the limbless pet gimp.7/10

bowmanblue I really wanted to LOVE 'Tokyo Gore Police.' I'm a big fan of loud, dumb, deliberately over-the-top movies, so I had high hopes for this one. It fulfilled my expectations, but only half as much as I thought it would.Yes, it's a Japanese movie (so anyone who can't watch a film with subtitles might as well move on right now) and it's set in a futuristic Tokyo where the police have been privatised and catching criminals is big business. This would be awkward enough, if it wasn't for the presence of the mysterious (and also insane) 'engineer's (no, not the same ones from Prometheus, thankfully) who can turn severed limbs into weapons – a feat that has to be seen to be believed. Unfortunately, the extent of these engineers' criminal tendencies doesn't just stop with overcharging you to repair your Honda at the garage. They seem to delight in mass murder and general chaos. Enter 'Ruka' – our surly heroine who specialises in slicing these freakish nut-jobs to pieces before they can grow a rocket launcher where their ankle used to be (seriously, that's the sort of thing they do). So, she sets off to hunt every last one of them down (and possibly learn how they came to be if she has the time).It has all the makings of a decent enough B-movie, but it has the word 'gore' in its title. Therefore, it has to live up to its name. And it does. If you like gore then you will leave this film fulfilled. It has some of the most hideously memorable monstrosities ever to grace the silver screen. I thought many reminded me of some sort of early David Cronenberg film where 'body horror' is used. Until you've seen a woman turn a certain part of her anatomy into a giant crocodile and eaten a man alive then you haven't lived.So it has the gore. It also has the 'look.' And this is where I call it *almost* an 'art house' film. The director seems to have taken great care to frame and colour his shot. There's a lot of colour. It's almost like a living comic book with its brightly-coloured sets. Plus many of the shots are long and deliberately drawn out, giving a sense of offering the viewer more than just a mere slash-up-the-monsters film.So, it gets its plus points for being gory and nice to look at – so far so good. The only thing I felt it lacked was a coherent story. Yes, there is a story in there somewhere, but it seems to lose its way at times. It's nearly two hours long and I felt that it could have lost about twenty minutes in the first half to concentrate on getting from A to B. The second half seems to be a little more focused and therefore makes more sense. However, in the first act I found myself staring at the screen blankly, wondering what was going on (and just waiting for the next gore moment to arrive).Overall, I enjoyed the film. I'm glad I watched it and it has definitely left images in my mind that will never go away (no matter how hard I try to make them!). I just wanted it to have a tighter story, as (when nothing hideous was happening in the first half) I found it a little boring and hard to watch. One of those rare films where it needs a director's cut to actually shorten the film!http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

Casper Jansen This is a tough one - how do you review a film that basically has no plot? I'll try.A mad scientist has developed a virus that mutates humans into hideous killing machines, and a special paramilitary squad, lead by the sexy and ice cold Ruka, is working hard to maintain order in the streets of futuristic Tokyo.It is over the top to the max with absolutely all the disgusting gore, blood, guts and violence you could ever wish for. I promise you that "Tokyo Gore Police" isn't like anything you have ever seen before, and even though I try very hard, I really can't compare to anything. What I especially love about these Japanese films is the humour; again outrageous and over the top leaving you giggle like a little school girl.But to enjoys it, you will have to love plot less and brain dead films. If you do, I promise you that "Tokyo Gore Police" gives you a wild ride.

rpgfan173 Aren't Japanese people the best at making bizarre movies? You know, they can take an idea totally lame and senseless like "a Japanese pro-wrestler who transforms into a squid before he dies so he can fight again and go back with his girlfriend" and turn it in one of my favorite movies ever ("Calamari Wrestler"), but this... is not the case. Now, I have seen a lot of Japanese crap, and I love most of it, my favorite gore one is "Vampire Girl vs Frankenstein Girl", which is original, funny, senseless, with cheap effects and a lot of energy put into it; Tokyo Gore Police fails at all of those things, one thing is doing a gore movie with a plot always developing, and another thing is doing a gore movie with random blood at screen for a ridiculous amount of time, the plot stops suddenly for more than 10 minutes to show random flashbacks that don't make sense, violence sequences that can last less than a minute but instead they last more than 5, characters that suddenly appear, you don't know who they're and "oh, he is dead. Maybe I would be touched in some way if he had any character development at all". To sum up this movie is bad, REALLY BAD, and is the only Japanese bizarre movie that I gave less than 5 stars, avoid this one if you can and watch something else.
