I'll admit that this work isn't some of the director's best. However, this movie was one of those 'made for video and late nite TV' type movies. And even though my Japanese is very rusty (okay so it's rusted through), I still enjoyed the movie. The gore level is on par with Kill Bill (Quentin Tarantino) and has just about the same amount of plot. If it had a huge soundtrack budget it would be indistinguishable from a Japanese version of Kill Bill. Some of the gore effects are... quite unique. Along with some typical Japanese phallic humor, the movie does manage to hold your attention. Enjoy the movie for what it is, a quick and dirty gore flick with some 'interesting' bloody special effects that would make Quentin Tarantino become nauseous.
