Re: The packaging.
There is a cardboard slipcase (a la Royal Tenenbaums Criterion) which looks like a paper bag with a hole in the middle that shows the face of the villian (I forget his name). The case itself has the villain on the cover brandishing his spikes. It's just totally awesome.
Re: Xploited.
Having never ordered with Luminous, I'll say xploited is a very good site. They tell you when they ship the product (very quickly after you order), and both times I've received the DVDs within two days of getting the email, and I'm at a place where mail is notoriously slow. So take that for what you will.

Sorry if this has been posted already, but www.freerecordshop.nl have this for €29.99 (that's around US$32/UKŁ20).
I'd like this 2 disc set but not all Dutch retailers have it in stock -so I'm going to wait a few weeks until the cheapest becomes available.
I've emailed www.dvdzone2.com to see if they will stock it.
"Bent u bekwaam te aandeel de DVD Ichi alstublieft?" is my best Dutch -I'm sure someone from Holland will now post to say it means "I will kill your dog and eat it with some fava beans"

Just heard back from DVDZone2.com:
We've been trying to import this DVD from Holland for over a month, with no success.
Our distributor is still trying, but we would be unable to give you a date or price yet.
Let's hope this situation clears itself very quickly...
At your service,
Good.

I watched some of this last night. The picture quality is very good, but a little grainier than I remember it being in the theater. The sound is awesome, and the animated menus are pretty gruesome. The interviews seem to be lacking in substance, each interviewee only talks about a particular subject for 30 seconds to a minute. Haven't gotten around to seeing anything more than the interviews and some of the film yet.

This film blew me away even more the second time around than the first time and the way the film is edit to emphasize The Boredoms soundtrack is just spectacULAR!
Too bad they didn't do a soundtrack only audio track.
Anyone know if the soundtrack is available anywhere on CD?
cheers, Tony Block

I received mine today from Luminous - awesome. They honored the $19.99 pre-order price too. I think I like my Japanese packaging better... but like the fact I can now understand what they are saying better.

I was surprised and pleased to hear that Miike re-edited the opening sequence after hearing the finished music. It's rare for a filmmaker to do that.
I'm almost positive the soundtrack does exist as an import. I have a burned copy of it that does not sound like a bootleg (although that doesn't preclude the fact that it may be a bootleg, just a very good one). I will check with my friend who gave me the copy, see if he knows.

Thought it was a great film, felt great sympathy toward Ichi, poor lad. So, is the manga available in english language versions? Still reading Lone Wolf and Cub reprints at the moment but they must come to an end sometime so am looking for something new to read. Anyone help?

Incidentally, there was an article on DVDTimes pertaining to the launch of the Premier Asia label whereby a representative had said they supplied the Alien Sun and Bey Logan commentary tracks to the Dutch distributors and couldn't understand why it had been omitted. The label is going to release the title itself along with Bichunmoo 2 disc DTS and Bang-Rajan amongst others so all being well the 'missing' commentary tracks may appear on here

Koroshiya Ichi Soundtrack CD
The soundtrack is available through Forced Exposure in the States:
http://www.fe.org/labels/cinema.monsoon.japan.html
It's pricey - $30 - and there are some cues in the movie that aren't on the CD, but as a listening experience it's worth your best pennies. The CD also has the traler in .mpg format. FE carries some of the Boredoms other releases, too.
My vote is for Xploited Cinema as the easiest vendor to get the R2 2-disc DVD - they also carry the single disc version which is identical to disc 1 of the SE and has the cover that most of us are familiar with. I also noticed that Poker Industries are already out of stock after what, a week?

Here's something I noticed:
I know there are laws in Japan about showing genitals, but certainly some print must exist out there without the masking. Makes me wonder if a better version will come out.

Anyone listened to the English dub on this thing? Absolutely atrocious and therefore one of the most entertaining of recent times. Many excellent deliveries of words, Alien Sun is almost incomprehensible, A must listen!
