- As sadomasochistic yakuza enforcer Kakihara searches for his missing boss he comes across Ichi, a repressed and psychotic killer who may be able to inflict levels of pain that Kakihara has only dreamed of.
- When 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?
- Ichi The Killer is easily one of the most grotesque gory films of history, along with Miike's other trachea trembling film, Audition.<br/><br/>Ichi is simply a killer who desperately needs to brutally murder people with his bladed shoes in order to feel pleasure, but the bad thing is he couldn't help it. He killed the boss of Kakihara, a sadistic, pain-loving gangster who does many shocking favors to others such as being beaten and the infamous on-screen tongue cutting scene.<br/><br/>Ichi The Killer is filled with things that a Miike fan wants. Guts, Gore, One-Liners, Violence, Torture, Violent Rape, and Nudity. All these on-screen elements create a true gore-fest from Miike along with many relatively unknown actors.<br/><br/>The only disadvantages I had was the odd plot, because it was hard to describe from the film to your head. Also, The film is not safe to watch, at all. It can easily make you give up watching the whole film despite the mixture of realistic torture and over-the-top murders.<br/><br/>Would Kakihara able to defeat the violent Ichi as an honor to his deceased boss? Find out by yourself, I can't spoil the ending. It's a completely shocking ending and it's totally worth the blood.
- Not only is there the comforting sense of mystery and 'WTF' is that, which is sadly lacking in most modern pop Amercan movies... but it provides a refreshing and altogether spurtingly great source of entertainment. Here we have boys beset by their own personal daemons of life and love and loyalty.. yadayadayada... common gangsta flick fare. I do appreciate the deep set pathos that is displayed. But... but... the shiny thing that sets this movie apart is the loving care taken to surprise and titillate the discriminating viewer. Many movies of the action genre are hurt by this 'less plot more killing' problem, or the action is done routinely and in a dull unimaginative sort of way. But here 'plot' and 'killing' weigh equally and artistically in this movie. Great advantage of digital technology too. Put the kiddies to bed and see it with someone you love.
- Any serious message has been sacrificed on the altar of excess, making us realize why the stylish story probably worked better as a graphic comic book than as a film.
- Several scenes containing violence against women had to be cut for the British release. In the US, the film was released in a R-Rated version, which was cut by 11 minutes, as well as in an uncut unrated version. The R-Rated has been cut by roughly the same amount of time as the German version. Unlike the German version, however, they did not cut whole sections of the movie in the R-Rated. More scenes with sexual content are missing, though. For example, the film title, forming from a pool of sperm, was removed completely.<br/><br/>In HongKong the movie was released in a cut version only even though it received the highest rating: CAT III. Nearly 17 minutes were cut for this version. a5c7b9f00b
