Re: Really Bizarre Japanese Films (clips)
 

I have the DVD, haven't watched it through in full though. You had a youtube clip before - I haven't posted anything from it. May do some ripping if someone needs it - eventually.

Re: Really Bizarre Japanese Films (clips)
 

I have the Blu-Ray version and I can't rip anything from that. The youtube link got taken down some time ago. Fortunately I planned ahead for that and saved copies of the clip in mp4 and flv formats (only two I could from youtube) and I've edited the upload into my previous post (as a .rar because mp4 and flv are not supported file types here). So it should be covered at this point.

Just got my first blu-ray player today...hook it up this weekend - however since my intention was for region-free capability (at bargain basement prices: http://www.amazon.com/Sherwood-BDP-5...4682842&sr=8-1 , it may also limit my ripping of some films in the future since it means I'll have the opportunity to check them out in high-def from any region. .....then again, I also have netflix ;p

Hell Driver! Maybe some process, maybe not - one of the apparent villainesses has an "interesting" look.

Meh...review doesn't sound so hot. Will probably pass on it. Reviews of RoboGeisha have also been generally lukewarm - but I'll still netflix it.

OTOH - Mamoru Oshii's "Assault Girls" is a lot of fun - even if being extremely light on plot (and no process - but figured I'd mention it here anyways). Highly recommended if you ever checked out his previous live action "Avalon". Beautiful girls with big guns!

A new trailer for a mini-flick (hopefully included on dvd) of a tentacle girl - not sure how I missed this clip last year. Kawaiii!

" WELCOME TO ZOMBIE WORLD!

An alien-spawned, mysterious mist blankets the northern half of Japan, transforming those who inhale it into ravenous, flesh-eating zombies hell-bent on devouring the surviving human population. Plunged into chaos, Japan is torn in two--the southern half of the country, where the populace remains untouched by the deadly gas, lives behind a heavily-fortified wall, while the northern half is a lawless, zombie-infected wasteland. Political forces are locked in a stalemate over whether the living dead should remain protected as family members or exterminated like a plague. The economy withers away, and all hope seems lost for the people and the nation of Japan.

Hope arrives in the form of Kika (Yumiko Hara), a beautiful high school girl armed with a chainsaw sword powered by an artificial heart. Recruited by the government, Kika leads a ragtag group of desperados on a secret mission into the zombie-infected wilds to exterminate zombie queen Rikka (Eihi Shiina from AUDITION and TOKYO GORE POLICE) and put an end to the plague of the living dead. But the road is fraught with a thriving zombie culture that, with its own designs on the living half of Japan, refuses to lay down and die.

Visionary filmmaker Yoshihiro Nishimura's first solo directorial effort since TOKYO GORE POLICE is an epic, apocalyptic road movie featuring non-stop action and over-the-top splatter. The long-awaited realization of his dreams, HELLDRIVER is Nishimura's bid to create the ultimate zombie film.

The showdown for the future of Japan is at hand and no one, living or dead, may survive to see it!"

Hmm, this might not be the best time to be promoting a movie in which a disaster has affected the northern half of Japan...

(Edit: Not complaining about your post, thrandall; just couldn't help but be struck by the parallel.)
