Your bath is hot and ready

The Yakuza part is a lot easier to understand than the Apocalypse part. Kamiura (Lily Frankie) is the Yakuza for a small town, acting as a benevolent godfather. He used to be part of a larger syndicate. He is also a vampire. The syndicate comes after him with a Japanese version of Van Helsing and succeed in killing him, but he is able to pass on his vampire powers to Kagayama (Hayato Ichihara) a compassionate understudy. Kagayama doesn't know how to control himself and starts a chain reaction where everyone in the town gets bit. The people in the town decide they are all Yakuza and don't need to pay protection money to the real Yakuza. There is a theme that develops that the Yakuza are the real blood suckers who need to feed off of civilians to survive. There was a goblin in the film that used an ET finger touch while they played a riff from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." Go Figure.

Now I was okay up with the film at this point and then we entered the head scratch phase where Japan's idea of a plague of frogs is different than the acceptable western thought. This was apparently the "apocalypse" aspect of the film which was silly. Now I would not have minded the silly ending if the film had started out that way.

Guide: F-bomb. Near male nudity. Brief rape scene.

This is mental

And that's putting it mildly. Far out could be another description that is fitting. Complettely off your (insert your own term of derangement here) would be another. Like it or not, the violence level is high. The nudity may not concern you as much (as there is little here to be seen),but you may have an issue with how people get treated in general. Than again, this wants to provoke and it doesn't take itself or anyone else for that matter seriously.

It's tough to describe what happens and there are a lot of "wtf" moments happening here. Some were so outraged that they left the cinema I was watching this in (was playing at a festival). You can't walk out at home (well you can, but you know what I mean),but I reckon you can push the stop or pause button to catch your breath. Or maybe stop watching completely. It's up to you, I cannot really recommend or disregard this for you, it will also depend on your mood most likely. Are you up for some crazy?

They don't get any crazier than this

First off I believe Takashi Miike is a mad genius and a very hard working director i mean the guy makes like 4 movies a year and that's pretty exhausting if you ask me but he manages to bring quality as much as quantity and his latest movie Yakuza Apocalypse is no different from his other works it's got all the elements you want from a Miike film, genre mixing, gore, weirdness and over the top violence with little to no humanity to it. the plot is very simple, a Yakuza boss ,who is also a vampire but he managed to keep that a secret from everybody else, is murdered but before he dies he bites his henchman and the latter gets infected and decides to avenge his boss. if you think this is a serious movie please don't watch it because you're not getting the point or you probably never seen a Takashi Miike film apart from those serious ones he makes once in a while like 13 Assassins and Audition to mention a few. the point from this movie is that it's absurd but it tries to be a serious film kind of like Leslie Nielsen's character in The Naked Gun franchise he's a very serious guy but everything around him is just plain stupid and absurd. but here comes the genius of Takashi Miike he manages to keep this film Absurd and Sublime at the same time he knows that there's a fine line between Genius and Maniac and he walks that line with complete confidence. Overall this is a decent film it's not Miike's best but it's still highly entertaining and fun especially for the people who are familiar with his work. My Rating 7/10.
