I am ordering the Uncut Ichi the Killer from azn films and was considering getting "Party 7" or "Sharkskin Man and Peach Hip Girl" and was hoping someone can tell me if they are woth owning.

In my ever so humble opinion, Shark Skin Man, Peach Hip Girl is an essential in any respectable DVD collection. It could best be described as the love child of Quentin Tarrantino and David Lynch. Party 7, which I also have, is not as good but is still very entertaining in a bizarre kind of a way... I certainly would recommend it although not with the same confidence I would recommend SSM, PHG - both feature Tadanobu, Asano who is the current darling of Japanese cinema and both exude massive amounts of cool.

Another Tadanobu film you might want to look at is Space Travelers which is available from Hong Kong at a much more reasonable price then the Japanese release (check it out at www.dvdshelf.com or www.dddhouse.com).

Hope this helps.

I also enjoyed Shark Skin Man & Peach Hip Girl quite a bit, and I'd definitely recommend it. Unfortunately, I haven't seen the DVD so can't comment on its quality/features.
