In the near future, the Tokyo Police Corporation is locked in a bloody war with the "engineers." These genetically modified super-criminals can bio-fuse their open wounds with weapons, turning self-mutilation into a combat form. Ruka, the daughter of the police chief's murdered right-hand man, is now the top engineer hunter. With cold-blooded efficiency she cuts through the psychotic engineers and tracks down their home base, a truly bizarre fetish club. Nothing keeps her from her sworn duty, even when she finds out the truth behind her father's death. (oficjalny tekst dystrybutora)

I don’t get it. I voluntarily admit that I really don’t understand how can anyone like this. It gave me a terrible headache. Aargh!

At one end of the spectrum of violence in cinema we have sunday morning children shows and at the other ....... er, Tokyo Gore Police. I've seen films like Ichy The Killer and I've long held the opinion that many Japanese filmmakers are sick and twisted assholes addicted to soft porn, but this is just a schmaltzy bloody mess par excellence. The story is supposed to be some sort of social critique and a parody of expected narrative conventions, but nobody is interested in that at all and only unrestrained brutality and morbid exaggeration are brought to the fore. Although Nishimura rips off what he can, he does so out of pure love for the famous works of Verhoeven, Cronenberg and co, and what's more, sometimes he comes up with a really spicy and funny idea. Most of it, however, is just a pretty boring series of chopping, biting, shooting, cutting and tearing, and in the moments when the film wants to strike a more civil and serious note, it comes off as ridiculous as a guy shooting a mutant penis. There's no doubt that overall it's a retarded monstrosity with terrible dialogue and humour for the slightly mentally ill, but I can't give it less than 2* for the few great gore moments and the aggressive soundtrack. It wants to be guilty pleasure, and if the viewer can justify their own depravity while watching it, it's actually more fun than Rodriguez's Planet Terror. I had the special opportunity to see it in the cinema, I will never see so much red again.

It's terribly stupid, technically flawed, perverted, over the top, sick, disgusting, cheesy, Japanese, but.... -)

Rating this movie is extremely complicated. In terms of the story, it's a complete mess that makes no sense, but on the other hand, there are such incredible ideas here that one has to admire it, sometimes involuntarily. The Japanese are crazy, and I'm already quite accepting of their madness, and I can enjoy it. "Tokyo Gore Police" has terrible effects, but there is so much blood, so many masks, and a pretty interesting idea about the police that I simply have to say, yes to this. It's a psychedelic experience that the viewer doesn't need drugs for.
