Full Metal Yakuza QUESTION
I just bought the Region 1 version of this movie. The parts where they show male or female 'parts' they blur it out. Is there something wrong with the movie, or is this some kind of censorship they do overseas?

It's what Takashi Miike wanted, I'm sure. The guy has such an offbeat sense of humor, I'm sure he put that in himself. I personally found it hilarious.
|
thanks :) haha yea I just thought it was really odd.
|
Actually...
it's both. Miike filmed it with the knowledge that it would be censored by the government. So in otherwords he used the censorship in his favor.
|
Asian countries have a long standing ban on male or female full-frontal nudity in movies. Some other Miike films with optical fogging are Visitor Q and Ichii The Killer. Many releases of European or US films are censored in Japan as well.

miike fogging
miike often uses off visual effects like fogging / blurring / pixelation... see also "agitator" barber shop scene... blurred out.
|
And "Ley Lines" has genitalia sorta scribbled out.
