My Rating 8.5/10
Ichi The Killer was probably the greatest Gore Film ever made. It was directed by Takashi Miike. The same director who made Audition. Ichi The Killer in Japan is originally callled "Koroshiya 1". But in USA they called "Ichi The Killer". Anyway, Ichi The Killer is about a Yakuza boss named Anjo disappears with 300 million yen, his chief henchman, a sadomasochistic man named Kakihara, and the rest of his mob goons go looking for him. After capturing and torturing a rival Yakuza member looking for answers, they soon realize they have the wrong man and begin looking for the man named Jijii who tipped them off in the first place. Soon enough Kakihara and his men encounter Ichi, a psychotic, sexually-repressed young man with amazing martial arts abilities and blades that come out of his shoes. One by one Ichi takes out members of the Yakuza and all the while Kakihara intensifies his pursuit of Ichi and Ichi's controller Jijii. What will happen as the final showdown happens between the tortured and ultra-violent Ichi and the pain-craving Kakihara?
There was so many disturbing and nasty scenes in Ichi The Killer, where do I begin? Well when Kakihara puts this man in a torture chamber and he has this guy hanging on chains while Kakihara puts hot boiling water on the guys back. Also when Karkihara cuts his tongue off his a knife. I mean they did the same thing on Oldboy, but unlike Oldboy they actually show Kakihara cuting his tongue off. And then later on when Kakihara stitches his tongue up, how gross is that? There is also a scene where Ichi cuts this guy in two halfs and he splits in to two separate pieces. Another scene is where at the end Kakihara and Ichi are battling on the top of some building and Ichi's long lost brother Jijii shoots Ichi's foot and Ichi slices Jijii's neck. While then, Kakihara put his two knifes into his ear to kill his hearing. And Ichi puts his shoe blade into Kakihara's head and kicks Kakihara while Kakihara does a backflip and lands on a pole but then falls and loses his balance and falls off the building. Kakihara then is laying on the ground a bloody mess.
Ichi The Killer won 6 wins & 1 nomination. It was truly the most disgusting movie of the century.
