no no no no . i foolishly rent this and thinking that . uh what be i thinking . i have see man behind the sun and while i can not exactly say i enjoy it and it be shock and powerful and and deeply disturb . i watch it once around 5 year ago and re watch it recently to review it . for some reason i think i would read the sequel be much more disturbing . so and what do i do . like a fool and out of morbid curiosity i have to check it out . if you have see the original and just quit while youre ahead . i can not stress this strongly enough . i mean it . run . if you haven not see any of the erie and feel the need to see any of them ( whether or not that be a good idea for you to do be a whole different discussion ) just see the first one . in the original and the plot center on camp 731 and where horribly inventive and vicious medical experiment be perform on prisoner under the guise of cientific research for warfare . that one actually have a plot and and some character you care about . the reason i be go on at length about the first movie be that 90 % of this movie laboratory of the devil be simply the first movie and re stag and only do very badly . the plot go something like this represent a guy and who i think be suppose to have be at camp 731 and go to a house for a meeting and post ww2 . a bunch of japanese men sit stiffly around the table . through this review contain some slight spoiler and but you will be do yourself a big favor if you read it before you decide to waste your money on this terrible sequel ( if you can call it that ) . some very badly write dialogue ( though to be fair and the movie be dub and so maybe the translation lose something ) we find out that the main evil guy from the first movie want to restart the medical experiment . why he would want to be not that clear and other than out of sheer meanness . after more boring dialogue that i be tempt to fast forward through and the guy that come in say something to the effect of have you no honor . don not you remember what happen before . no and for some reason they do not and even though they be all there the first time . well let me tell you about it . we go into flashback mode and i optimistically figure it will last maybe 5 minute and sum up the first movie . uh oh and it seem to be go on long . and the plot seem kind of familiar . ok and well and maybe they will wrap it up in the next 15 minute . after i realize the movie be half over and i resign myself to the fact that the whole movie be go to be a re hash of the first . now that bad and lazy enough and but not only do they just blunderingly re stage the first movie and they manage to completely f $ % it up in every way possible . to try to add pathos and there a lame romantic subplot . the experiment that be restaged be the most boring one and and they only include one from the first movie that be a real shocker and but since most of u have see the first movie and it not shock . the first movie be well paced and but in this case and it seem like the screenwriter just write down all the scene from the original on index card and put them all in a hat and and pick them out at random and film them in no particular order and make sure to leave out the most powerful one and substitute incredibly stupid one in their place . there an autopsy at the beginning on a corpse that go on way too long and be obviously intercut with actual autopsy footage . not only be this lazy and but if i want to sit there watch endless scene of autopsy and i would have and well and rent a video that consist of actual autopsiesinstead ( yes and you can rent those now ) . i do not think a movie could be disgust and bore at the same time and but lotd manages . but wait . there more . they also figure that maybe the first movie wasn not humorous enough ( yeah and you really need humor in a movie about pow torture ) and so they stick in some really and really unfunny comic relief . here be an exact quote and to give you an idea . two guard be walk out of the lab after a frostbite experiment . guy # 1 represent . they find out that woman have a great resistance to cold than men . guy # 2 yeah well and i guess that explain why my wife be frigid . ( rim shot ) they roar with laughter . hahahahaha . stop and you guy and i be laugh so hard it hurt . whooo hooo . i be still hold my side . ( i be kid about the rim shot and but there might as well have be one and it would have be an improvement ) . there be and however and some unintentional humor ( though not worth watch the movie for if the forthcoming description of the unintentional humor amuse you at all and just leave it at that . count your blessing . i be make it sound much more entertaining than sit through the movie be ) for instance and the english dubbing be so laughably bad it sound like a parody of bad dubbing in an asian film ( your kung fu be lousy . ) it sound like they have maybe 2 and 3 guy top do all the character . in one scene a bunch of scientist or commander or whatever theyre suppose to be be wear surgical mask . one sound completely normal while the other guy sound like he yell into his cupped hand or through a saltine box . also and the character and both hero and bad guy and be amazingly stupid . at one point and the hero ( i think he be the hero and anyway ) help with one test that consist of prisoner be line up and shot . why they need to research what happen when they do this and i do not know and but anyway and the hero reluctantly fire at the commander order and naturally kill them and then look shocked and horrify at the result . what do he think be go to happen . oh and and this be after he watch the same thing be do 3 time in a row before this with no expression at all on his face . in another scene and the bad guy inject a slice of watermelon with what i assume be some sort of toxic substance . then we see a guy be drag and struggle and into frame by the other bad guy and represent no . no . you can not make me eat it . you will eat this . they force fee it to him and though it look more like they just rub it into his teeth and he foam at the mouth a little and and dy . be that suppose to scare me or disturb me . why the hell do not they just give it to him to eat and not tell him what it be . in the first movie and during several scene prisoner be trick into the experiment and which be much more believable and have much more powerful and disturbing result . in the first movie and it have the effect of make you hate the villain even more . here and you just think theyre badly organize moron . speaking of that and there another scene where the prisoner be all in one room with huge number on their uniform so large that the digit would be visible from another planet and and when they need them for experiment and a guard just walk in with a clipboard and call out their number and and they call out here . like it roll call in a class or something . for some reason that strike me a funny . maybe i be just so bored i be try to entertain myself by find anything i could to jeer at . not enough reason to skip this . ok and here more . the makeup effect ( other than the real autopsy footage ) be really and really cheesy and unrealistic . several worker be beat and slap for disobey . i have see more realistic punch throw in dolemite movie seriously and be talk the hand visibly not come within six inch of the person face and the person react like they be hit . terrible continuity and too in one scene and a guy bite into a small corner of a guard earlobe while fight and then we cut ( they always cut away instead of go to the trouble of show any sort of effect ) to a shot of the guy with a huge chunk of flesh in his mouth . oh and and every once in a while and they stick in some stock war footage that be so grainy you can barely tell what go on ( i think that be a shot of something be blow up there . ) the character look so much alike ( i be not say this in a racist way in the first movie and i have no problem and but here the screenwriting be so sloppy i do not know who be who . ok and be that guy upset because they just kill . uh . his father . his brother . be that his roommate . who know . the only positive thing about this wretched excuse for an exploitation movie be that it leave out the suspiciously realistic and unnecessary scene of animal cruelty include in the first one and and that it have the gut to have a downbeat end ( though again and it just a really inept rip off of the first movie ) . spoiler ahead representany movie that end with the hero suddenly be decapitate should get a tiny iota of credit and i guess . the first movie be so disturb it make me lose sleep and this one just put me to sleep . i repeat and do not waste your time with this ( especially if you have see the first one ) . if you want to see something really shocking and upsetting and and disturb and just rent the original . if you want to be bore and mad at yourself for waste your money and and have your intelligence insult and then rent this one . i heard that the third one be the bad in the series boy and i do not even want to think about that .
