i thought of a couple of director takashi miike movie while watch full metal yakuza ichi the killer and izo because of what they have sort of in line with it . both of those film have a protagonist who and more or less and be on a hell bent path of murderous destruction . but even izo and in comparison with this ( and i consider izo a flawed film ) and be more worthwhile than this minor claptrap . maybe it also a sign of what miike have with good thing to come and a it be just a short on assignment gig to fill up his v cinema requirement . not that you can not tell he might have have a hand in some scene and notably the most violent and abrasive one where the hero of the title get his revenge ( albeit with the head of one yakuza and the heart and body of another and ho ho ) . there not much story to it at all and except that a lowly gangster get gun down when his mentor and a yakuza previously in jail for 7 year and get out and get kill too . a mad scientist dub the nutty professor ( double ho ho ) put them back together and and this time totally in metal . not that there aren not any other special modification too and like in the groin area to be precise ( not just quick blue electrical flash go through when he get charge up ) . then the exploitation fun continue and a the bare plot wheel away until i couldn not really care less about whatever really happen with most of the character and and just wonder when the next big huge violent gush of blood would occur . the special effect and even for something a quick and ultra low budget ( and yes and even for a robocop spin off it very low budget and even with an invention or two in miike arsenal ) and be cheesy and and sometimes the film or video speed remind me of see kid movie from the 80 or something . the only side development in any of the character and however shallow and be with a woman ( a prostitute i believe ) who be with another man after a previous ill time engagement . sure to be ok enough for most just look for a splatteriffic time and but i think to really get a lot more laugh out of it i would have to be pretty waste . it not devoid of punch and but it get nothing in the way of a sharpness of wit or wild visual panache of miike other work . it just what to expect a v cinema gimmick make long into a feature with so so acting and a yakuza story that nothing new while i do not even think it will get too much good if on a repeat view either .
