Thank and Will Doo
I go to Midtown Comics every week to update my Collection on BackIssues Im Missing.I think they are kind of pricey in MidTown, I Shop at another Comic Store a few blocks from there called "Jim Hanleys Universe" Great deals and Nice people. I Will Check out this film Sunday and come back with my thoughts, I cant wait looks really good

[J.R._Beasley]

Bah, Cosmic Comics all the way :-)

@solarrdadd: Did you at least go to the DC Comics building just a short way down the road?

[Grimshaw23]

this movie looks like a joke, along with all the "VS" films they have. Is Japan cinema running out of idea or something? lol. Seriously, peoples actually like these movies? People actually enjoy the heavy gore, low-budget cgi and a bad story in these movies? I don't get it. Japan is so much better than this(their animation for example).

after you walk up the stairs and turn into the store, to your right by the dectector as you walk in there is a 10' long Thor poster, that is the one i bought. it's the same one that you will see in my gallery that features all the characters in the world of Thor!

no i didn't get to the DC comics building. i was in NY for a quickie and did a GPS search by my location for all comics stores because i was looking for that poster. i was closet to two stores Jim Henly (i think) but they didn't have it and Midtown was next and they did have it, end of search. I have never been to the DC comics building. perhaps the next time i'm in NYC i'll stop there!

takes up a lot of wall space too! I'll check back tomorrow night sometime to check out your review of the movie and the in person viewing of the poster!

Looking forward to this, and have had it on preorder for a while.

I liked the guys other films. These are generally low budget over-the-top titles.. story is usually bizarre (and I don't think you'd expect less from something called "Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl").

Met the director at comic-con - very nice guy!

EDIT: I don't have a 10' thor poster, but I have a 10' Resident Evil/Milla poster!

These movies are produced with foreign audiences in mind. Titles like Machine Girl, Tokyo Gore Police and Death Trance were produced by Tokyo Shock, an American studio. This is what they believe will sell here, and they're probably right. Will FUNimation sell more copies of the highly regarded samurai drama "Love & Honor" or something called "Vampire Girl Vs. Frankenstein Girl" with a pin-up idol on the poster holding a sword?

I'm not sure how well these sell, but given the low budget and the audiance for them.. I'm sure they'll make some profit.

These are generally pretty low budget titles that sell based on the "over the top" factor. Nobody bought Riki-OH for the storyline

I find them pretty entertaining and have built up a big collection of them already. Are they good movies? Eh, not too much.. but they're entertaining and "different" and over-the-top ridiculous. A fun way to spend an hour (these are usually pretty short - any longer and you probably would get sick of them).

I don't know how well they do here, but they definitely have an audience, and Tokyo Shock has taken advantage of that (sometimes re-releasing these titles 3-4 times, adding "a little more" each time)

for one you didn't answer his question of why japanese film makers are releasing these kind of movies in japan or anywhere else , secondly these types of movies are made by the japanese not by tokyo shock "an american company" pew pew , tokyo shock acquires films that they translate, package, and dub. They are most well known for anime and live action Asian films for home video release. tokyo shock is an american company that is a distributer.

make sure you use your words correctly , don't lead people to believe an american company is generally making these japanese films , that is just silly billy , banzai!

Machine Girl, Death Trance and Tokyo Gore Police were all co-produced by Tokyo Shock/Media Blasters. These films were made in Japan, but Tokyo Shock put up the money to make them, and they requested that the stories be made for adult males in the United States. Tokyo Shock requested the actress Eihi Shiina for Tokyo Gore Police (probably based on her reputation from Audition), which originally wasn't even going to be released in Japan. They're more than just the distibutor for these films - they have a financial stake in them, and yes, they are primarily for American audiences (specifically, young adult males). If they have found a following in Japan, that's just a bonus.

In short, Japanese filmmakers are making these kinds of movies because they have been successful, especially with American audiences.
