Swan's Japanese Horror Reviews 49: Tokyo Gore Police

[MrFreakuency]

i think it's the best (gore / funny) japanese horror(like) flick ;)

[deepspacenein]

man i miss you roger



[Nathan084]

The story wasnt terrible but the film was batshit mental...there is of course lots of gore but its so over the top that it just looks silly but I know its not meant to be taken too seriously. There are some truly bizarre scenes that only Japanese cinema could come up with. Once you see past the buckets (and buckets) of blood theres not much of a film left. While you may want to watch it just for the outrageous over the top gore it's not a great film by any stretch of the imagination.

[StathisQauid]

TGP sure beats Braindead (Dead Alive) with all it's insanities! The ultimate brains out party gore flick! No review for Versus? That movie rocks so bad!

The UK release of TGP has a whole bunch of very cool special features, minus a silly dub! nice vid you guys!

[JSuelto1]

this what i like to call a Tokyo-gorexploitation , if your into body parts flying and other shenanigans this is not for you

[Horrorlord1]

RIP Rodger Swan... You inspired me to move to japan and work in japan and you actually inspired me in writing and many other things. Your my biggest Idol!

[RandomUsername010]

just wanna give my take on TGP, I watched it expecting blood, gore weirdness and insanity. If u're not looking for these things when watching a Japanese gore movie, then why watch? I liked Ichi the Killer, Machine Girl and Battle Royale, & TGP delivered everything I wanted to see. I also want to say the dog-like human weapon Prisoner 639 was great lol, it was very creative. I hope my comment is appreciated & that my points are understood.

[trainhoboVEGAS]

Most abysmal films that ever existed, I am not saying that Japanese aren't capable of making films? The movie is just a steaming pile of shit. They're good and somewhat decent films that are made in Japan, only can name a few since I do not want to go into detail much, Battle Royale, Ringu aka the original horror film of The Ring and etc. Either the guy that made Tokyo Gore Police is talentless or have no creativity. In general alot of people make bad films nowadays in ever country and states.

[soulcalibur22]

that opening music is horrible hahahaha and funny

[yfset8]

all i can think about is robs pizza

this sounds funny lol

[datdudemickeyd777]

i thought tokoy gore police was gonna freaking good but i had second thought because i've seen various clips of the movie and i don't wanna buy it. -__- machine girl is better.

[ThisSubtleDagger]

completely random but I can't STAND people who eat pizza with a fork and knife.

[ilostmywife02]

i just thought this movie was trying so incredibly hard to be a 'cult film'. the amount of blood, bizarre enemies, and semi-(probably on purpose)cheap effect just seems to me like they tried to add as much elements of a horror cult film rather than focusing and trying to make it an original good movie :b

i have a feeling nothing i said made sense, buuuuut,

alright.

[assonine666]

LOL u guys are great!

[SuperPrinnyDood]

This movie was SO FUCKIN' awesome

a movie that finally quenched my Gore thirst.

[1heartless1]

Wow... I was actually planning to buy that dvd yesterday :| But when I read the summary I went... ahaa... yeah, no this is weird. And now that I watched your review, yeah I'm not going to watch it :P

[vaughnd13]

This is a wild and funning movie...

[10xproduction]

I laughed my ass off at the end of the video

[johnprasher]

I personally thought that the movie should have came with a fucking bucket

X-(

[syaoran27]

i got this movie i thought it was ok but i liked machine girl remix more then this.

[nancarrow2]

I am about to watch the movie. I lave the two disc version. I look forward to the extra features.

[Shayanva]

is it english?

[agt334]

Great ! You guys look just like people i want to have as friends, to talk about trashmovie, pc-games and pen&paper. My friends here are boring as ass. Businessmen and people who look tv with their girlfriend, horrible.

Well, however,

greetings from germany

[VanillaGalTV]

if you think that's crazy you should check out robogeisha I so wanna see that lol

[wondernerd2]

im gonna spoil the ending for those of you who hate not knowing respond to this

[cocopuffsrok]

Do it, I don't care. Your just some stupid douche bag

[wondernerd2]

the live action deathnote need to die

[LifeFirst]

Hey, enjoy your reviews. Do you ever watch any other Japanese films other than horror. Horror films are only a small presentation of all Japanese films. I think you will be surprised at how good non-horror Japanese films are. They're certainly one of a kind, and unlike their horror films, I rarely come across a bad movie.

[youhurtmyeyes]

lol... porn hotel? TGP is definitely not for normal people... lol

[Jadedbunny8]

Fun review you should have your friends do reviews with you more often

[supatoker420]

keep the videos coming!!! great reviews!!

You should check out:

Tale of two sisters (Korean)

Ichi the killer (Japanese)

Hansel and Gretel (Korean)

Suicide Club (Japanese)

[Jadedbunny8]

He did Ichi the Killer and Suicide Club. I agree though that he should do Tale of two Sisters though I dont feel it was that scary it was still a really good movie

[supatoker420]

oh, sorry about that, i really didnt get the chance to see all his reviews haha. and yea Tale of two sisters is one of those movies that messes around with your head.

[Oekakiful]

Anyoen excited for the movie Robot Geisha?

[TiffTiff316]

very funny video. XP

[savini1979]

I just ordered the 2 disc special Edition U.K. release of TGP today , can't wait to see it.

[SleepyDonutBushido]

I finished watching Tokyo Gore Police. It was interesting... if thats the right word to describe it.

[bishifangirl]

I sat through the first ten minutes of this one...and I can see I didn't miss much by turning it off...

[thefatman69dude]

please review tokyo zombie

[loki210]

haha, I like Rob's jamming out to Better Off Alone. I like your friends.

[pieisyummi]

who is the actress that played the dog-like girl?

[Serp1313]

I've seen Rob in 2 videos, and in both videos he's eating pizza. lol

[whietdragonav]

I recently watched Tokyo Gore Police and enjoyed it. You have been a great help to many people. I have watched all of your reviews. Keep up the good work! Arigatou gozaimasu!!!

5/5 STARS *****

[whifling]

This vid gets 5 stars purely for Rupert and Rob's tune at the end XD

[XXeatenbyzombiesXX]

This film is completely bonkers and great fun. If you like it then you should also check out Machine Girl and Meatball Machine.

[ClothoidDoll]

ah! i just saw that movie over the weekend. I loved it! But some scenes were confusing...I probably missed something that explained it, but it was a gore fest/epic slasher and I loved it!

btw, to your friend, the woman's bewbs....those were teeth. My bf's roomie had to rewind and pause at that scene.

The random commercials were one of those lolwut moments.

My fav character was manic depression aka the amputee-gimp girl. She was so cute and crazy.

[AlexRosenburg]

hahahahaha u n and rob are hott!!!!

[dondons1987]

you should do more reviews with your friends, i lold <3

[KowaiiVisualKei]

I actually really liked this movie, just because it was so weird and messed up. It was cool BECAUSE it was out there and something that isn't ever seen. It's a fun movie to watch, even though it's a little ridiculous, haha.

[CastUntoTheWolves]

Rupe is the new god, my hero, and/or lord of all things internet. ALL HAIL LORD RUPE! SING A SONG!

[fabioskewl]

haha you guys are funny as fuck

I've always seen this on the shelves of my local vid rental store in j town but never really bothered to pick it up due to its cheezy title and cover

[misterheatmizer]

this sounds pretty good is this worth 5 bucks to watch on on demand?

[csatimaci]

How is Infection a bad movie? It is different, it is confusing - but it certainly does deserve a bit more mature approach. I mean, there are convincing acting and this spooky, nightmarish atmosphere. And it peaks only at the very end, when we see the apple. Regarding TGP, I could have coped with a bit more info: you did not specify that this movie holds the title as the bloodiest ever, with 4 tons of fake blood spilled; that the studio where they were shooting it was completely ruined etc.

[GumshoesPal]

noroi the curse = Ultimate japanese ghost film.

I know it doesnt sound amazing but trust me Swan it is.

btw your friends were really cool and nice change from the excellent usual format.

[SUPERSCHMOO]

hey rodger, i enjoy your reviews.

I would rather you did a solo-more in depth review

that covers much more of the whole deal. It seemed heavily skimmed over.

I myself saw this film at the New york asian film festival with a packed crowd and had an amazing time watching it on the big screen.. that's probably factored in. (along with another film CRISS/CROSS) please stick to solo reviews bro, but keep 'em coming. thanks!

[Shirokai]

Gory, eh. Quick Q, gore is good and all, but what about the SFX? Some gory movies just don't seem as gory because of cheap SFX and that's what worries me.

Nice to see you have guest reviewers. Hopefully we will see them again. :)

[rodgerswan]

some cheesy cg in scenes, but most of the time the effects use good old fashioned props and costumes so that makes it look cooler (in my eyes). But yeah, it all looks wayyyy over the top.

[Shirokai]

I'll trust you with this one (as I did with previous ones). Costumes looked sweet though.

[frodoftheninefingers]

you should do a review of 'the machine girl' lol! it's by the same company and is an extremely amazing movie

[kingrufus]

Hey, this is Rupe. Swan and I really need to do a versus review cause that movie was fuckin sweet. Also, love the mike tyson reference.

[torinostu351]

This reminds me of watching stuff with some of my friends. I may have to check this out just because it's so out there. I mean, I lived through Tetsuo: the Iron Man, right?

[kanarakuotoko]

izo is way better than tgp

[TokyoBrando]

LOL good review, it sounds awesome

[AequitasVeritas92]

Awesome ! :D lol

[lentotoshihiro]

great review!

keyborad and song were also awesome  lol

[TokyoBrando]

964 Pinnochio is trippy aye? lol, i havent seen the first one, Rubber's Lover tho..i also wanna see Junk

[Y0urHumbleNarrat0r]

^___^ Nice.

[pianist231]

hahaha this was awesome, nice review

[mitsukipuki]

omg u and ur friends seem like u have so much fun

[martyrofevil]

Rob's the man! I loved the fist-cannon in this movie and that super sneaky guy.

[bluegemini]

A review with other friends are actually okay. I found it random coz sometimes I couldn't catch what your friends are saying but entirely okay as long as your keeping it lively..

Nice review! So the movie was actually violent.. I was wondering if there's any sex scenes or something... or its just really pure bloody violence, heheh! >=D

[TkyoSam]

lulz, good one swan ;)

[henanimejade]

i was just in hot topic and they had that

[Chatetris]

What was the theme at the end with the guy playing the key board?!

[10xproduction]

Better Off Alone by Alice Deejay

[ZombieBabyDoll]

I'm SO going to watch this movie!!

[browneyez1012]

i would love to hang out with you and your friends!!! ya are just funny and awesome

[TheDeborahdee86]

Hahaha I love when you invite friends to your reviews (I saw the review of "sodom the killer" yesterday)

I can't wait to see the next review!!!!

:D

[lazydragon333]

the first time I saw this movie and saw that chair start pissing............

The movie's just fucked up!

[nipps5]

this review was hilarious

quality stuff :)

[Knnedy]

That sounds like a CRAZY movie.

I might just watch it for the gore and because it sounds insane. xD

Haha those guys you were with were pretty cool I liked the ending. =P

[fujisakimari]

can you do more reviews like this

[BlackDreadBoy]

good job Swan

[Vhannoy]

Just another thought: if you thought THIS was gory, I suggest Meatball Machine.

[JapanielGuerrera]

I liked your guests, they were a refreshing change. I wouldn't mind seeing them again in a review of Versus.

[missanntastic]

Oh and great review Rodger, keep up the good work :) Your friends are kinda funny too. Take care.

[harryxiong90]

Thank you for review this movie, because i always wanted to watch this movie.

[jerrydoubleu]

Eating pizza with a fork. Seriously.  What the hell? lol

[sakuracon]

what was the song at he end becuase i was wondering what was the name ... it was someting baout being alone or something right .../ that tune been bugging me for almost a year

[rodgerswan]

i believe it's 'better of alone' by cher isn't it?

[sakuracon]

better off alone by alice deejay thanks for the name i youtube it and found the singer... i thought it was cher, but probably it was becuase of that believe song she did in the late 90s .. now i can tell my friend of his ringtone.. which just siad techno .. now he can name it now and nice reivews

[rodgerswan]

ahhh that's right, i must have been thinking of believe lol.

[missanntastic]

I thought it was Alice Deejay but I could be wrong. That's the one I remember because that era of music scarred me for life. :P Tinnitus was better.

[betamaxdc]

the intro music is dope man

[rodgerswan]

not as dope as the music i heard on your myspace! was checking that out today and was quite impressed!

[betamaxdc]

thanks man. i will have to make you a theme song when you make it back to Japan. -DC

[uglyjake]

machine girl machine girl machine girl machine girl????

[311fob]

Haha, Rob eating pizza with a fork and knife!! xD

[Synth]

Haha, you and your friends look like you have a really good time together. :D

Anyway, I really agree with your friend Rupert about Infection. That movie was terrible, and I actually fell asleep near the middle.

TGP seems... interesting. I'll probably pick it up and watch it.

Keep the good reviews coming! <3

[dancekat]

I wanna see this versus everyone is talking about?? Please make a review soon but include your friends too lol they are funny!

[Mutough]

You guys were definitely having fun.

[SakuraMayonaka]

i wanna see it, i love gory films^^

[BigMick888]

I think theese review's should last around 10 min or so

[jaythestingray]

Exactly the reaction I thought you would have. I enjoy crazy ass films like this

[zarath00stra]

was rob on the adult swim website??

[rodgerswan]

hmm maybe. probably looking up tim and eric stuff (we are both big fans).

[zarath00stra]

tim and eric awesome show great job! probably looking at the complete cinco catalog

[rodgerswan]

[zarath00stra]

[rockoklsl]

"NOROI"!!

[MikeySSC]

we need Swan taking a gander at "SORUM"

[TheSwgrBoy]

"theres penis in this film but theres no boobies"

classic!

[PissingInAction]

You forgot to mention that Asami from Miike's Audition stars in it but imo her performance here was only mediocre.

[TetsuoTheTeddyMan]

great review once again ^^

[NonStoptoTokyo]

It seems like you traumatized your friends by exposing him to weird Japanese horror fetishes. Hilarious. And the dub is absolutely ridiculous. Great video.

[RawflePK]

Great Stuff! once again an amazing job! 5/5

[LollysInsane]

:D :D

Great review, fun to watch ^-^

x Keep at it :P Haha

[sorry009]

Nice review! Rob and Rupe are cool too, bring them back for a few more videos.

[rodgerswan]

they will be back next week for a special video. I might take Rupe up on his idea of reviewing 'versus' together sometime....

[Vhannoy]

Still waiting on some of the  craptastic Tomie movies! lol.

[rodgerswan]

Possibly early July.... I think haha.

[Vhannoy]

Cool, can't wait to hear your thoughts.

[ichigofluff66]
