Justin KyleGUEST
Yeah.
Justin KyleGUEST
So one of the big things about this one is it was remade, um, by Takashi Miike, um, as a Japanese version.
Justin KyleGUEST
It's called The Happiness of the Katakuris, I believe.

Takashi Miike version of the Bad Lieutenant.
Courtney SmallGUEST
I enjoyed it.
Courtney SmallGUEST
I was actually surprised for a Takashi Miike film.
Courtney SmallGUEST
It wasn't as wild as I thought it was going to be.
Courtney SmallGUEST
It's kind of just basically the Bad Lieutenant, but this one just happens to have...
Courtney SmallGUEST
But I thought it does exactly what you would expect a bad lieutenant film to do.

Gregory RosebraughHOST
Takashi Miike is a legend of gore and of splatter, but he doesn't show up at Ken all that often.

Mark HoffmeyerHOST
Anything Takashi Miike.
John LevengoodGUEST
Well, but most of his stuff was normally more serious, whereas Tokyo Gore Police falls in the vein of Robo Geisha, Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl, Meatball Machine.
John LevengoodGUEST

Justin DeclouxHOST
So Teddy Bomb, my first feature film, came out of me and my pal Chris talking, hey, what if we made like a Sabu film, which is just a guy being chased the entire time? That was literally the beginning of what Teddy Bomb would be just like, oh, let's do a chase film of someone being chased like in a Sabu film.

Like that's right.
Jack EasonPANELIST

Adam MyrosHOST
It's a really scrappy film.
Adam MyrosHOST
If you want
SteveHOST
some good, if you want some good shorthand for what this is like stylistically beyond the, like Takashi Miike comparison, let's say that you're not familiar with, I don't know, late nineties, then early two thousands Japanese cinema.
