Japanese Zombie Schoolgirls! Constantine's Top 5 Favorite Japanese Zombie Movies: Part Two

[uglym0lly]

I was just web surfing looking for Japanese zombie films that I have not yet seen and I saw your piece of internet turf and decided to stop by. Wonderful reviews! Now I have to go look for Wild Zero! While I love all things zombie and I watch a lot of films from around the world, you know a lot about the culture. I appreciate your knowledge, I am checking out your blog! Rock on!

[TheEyez187]

Peace... and Brains lol!!!

[alexllorrac]

Would that movie be for me if I like good lesbian scenes? Just kidding don't answer that.

[TheKyuubiChakra]

High School Of The Dead. that is all

[cannibaltea2]

WTH you talking about Lazer vagina was the best!

[Cactuspetee]

Very awesome reviews. Very Awesome costume.

[KahlerHahn]

lol Wild Zero is one of the most fun times i ever had.

And this is defenitely one of the funniest "top xy list videos" ever. But you should really slap the shit out of that haughty bear lol

[joshuahell666]

what is that song you have it the first part of the video

[firmanfam1979]

Constantine…so hot right now!

[TVindustries5000]

theres also zombie hunter rika and JUNK(the movie). pon fujio ftw!

[TheThirdPrestigiator]

hehe pedo bear in the right corner :D I bet he liked those little japanese girls.

[Lolismad]

I see these japanese action/horror movies as comedy, like machine girl!

it's always about awesome killing moves and lots of blood, literally spraying all over the place.

[NonStoptoTokyo]

@Lolismad I completely agree, it's definitely a 'comedy' genre!

[Hikosaemon]

The genre isn't really my bag, but I enjoyed the reviews. But thanks for the tip on Attack Girls Swim Team vs the Undead, I'm off to Tsutaya now...

[Japanesemusicforall]

I'm going to check out Tokyo Zombie's. Ive never really seen a Japanese movie. I just listen to alot of Japanese music.

[davehome22]

it may be a crappy film but i have to admit that "Attack girls swim team vs the undead" is a pretty epic title

[NonStoptoTokyo]

@davehome22 It is SUCH an epic title, too bad the movie didn't live up to the awesomeness of the title!

[drunkfux1]

The Yakuza character Tadanobu Asano played in Ichi The Killer was called Kakihara, but you probaly remembered by now :-)

[NonStoptoTokyo]

@drunkfux1 Pretty depressing that I forgot that...but in my head I just refer to his as Sado-Masochistic Tongue Dude, that seems to work pretty well.

[GyntherMeyer]

Haha, yes it would be. LOL.

I'll check your review of "Junk".

[GyntherMeyer]

Btw, my own two fave Japanese zombie flicks are "Junk" and "Wild Zero". xD. Apart from "Wild Zero" being cool I also just love Guitar Wolf and their music. They were also in another (American) film called "The Sore Losers" in which Jack Oblivian (from the old garage-rock band The Oblivians) plays a dead hitman from the 50s who arrives on Earth (via spaceship) to do one last  hit so he can finally lay his soul to rest. LOL. It's pretty cool.

[NonStoptoTokyo]

@GyntherMeyer I agree with you on Guitar Wolf but not on Junk...I posted a review of it on my blog a while back. I haven't seen 'The Sore Losers' but I will definitely find it now.

On a side note, I initially misspelled 'The Sore Losers' as 'The Sore Lovers.' Now that would be an intriguing film...

[GyntherMeyer]

Hey Constantine, I've followed your videos for a while now and they just keep getting better. Can I be chairman of your fan club? LOL. Oh, and I've been into horror movies for longer than I care to remember (seriously, haha) and you're right; "Japanese Girl Swim team against zombies" (or whatever) is total crap. And not even so bad it's good. Just crap, haha.

Best.

[NonStoptoTokyo]

@GyntherMeyer Thanks for tolerating the sporadic video posts! I think that being chairman of my fan club would be a lonely job...the club would consist of you and my...errr, no one else comes to mind actually... =P

Yup, Attack Girls blah blah doesn't fall into the 'so bad it's good category' (some of the other films do though) it's just bad. BAD. BAD!

[GyntherMeyer]

@NonStoptoTokyo Dear Constantine, what's going on? I'm having a hard time explaining to the fan club members why you're not posting new videos. Hope you're well and all!

[martyrofevil]

Tokyo Zombie is pretty decent. Versus was awful and I do not understand all the hype (I even watched it twice because I assumed it was just me the first time). The only other Japanese Zombie movie I've seen is JUNK and it's about as good as the title suggests. I give up on J-Zombie films! Although Yoshihiro Nishimura's upcoming Helldriver could be really badass.

[NonStoptoTokyo]

@martyrofevil Well, Japanese zombie movies are really a genre in and of themselves...and they definitely aren't for everyone. While I have a love of zombie movies, very few zombie movies have actually made it onto my list of Favorite Movies of All Time, including some of the ones I've mentioned here. So I can see why you might not like Versus...it's a cult classic for a reason - it appeals to a very small niche market! =P

[martyrofevil]

@NonStoptoTokyo But what bothers me is that I am usually that very small niche market. I like the Tokyo Gore Police genre that's exploded recently. I liked some of the really grimy j-horror movies like Evil Dead Trap and even some of the Guinea Pig series but goddamn it JUNK ruined Japanese Zombie films for me.

[NonStoptoTokyo]

@martyrofevil Yes, Junk is just f-ing awful. What a horrible movie...

[drunkfux1]

Tokyo Zombie FTW

[NonStoptoTokyo]

@drunkfux1 Woohoo!

[mangaman057]

great job. Do you know if any company distributes these to america??

[NonStoptoTokyo]

@mangaman057 All of the movies I've mentioned can be bought on Amazon, I included links in the bottom bar.

[bulletproofKevlar]

id love to see the chapter of world war z by max brooks with the otaku who networking social life accidently gets him trapped in the middle of the zombie apocalypse

[NonStoptoTokyo]

@bulletproofKevlar I live my life according to The Zombie Survival Guide

[bulletproofKevlar]

sweet tokyo zombie is number one hahah damn if youtube was only working like it use to!!

[MrJingjong]

I loooove zombie movies. Thanks for the review!

[iggytan]

I remember watching my first japanese zombie movie, it was about samurai's. It was nostalgic, and weird. But I enjoyed it lol! ~_~

[NonStoptoTokyo]

@iggytan Japanese zombie films are really a genre movie in and of themselves. Totally unique, weird, and bizarre!
