My 11 Favorite "Tokyo Shock" Movies

The best way to describe Tokyo shock cinema is to call it Japan's version of Troma (Which I love also) movies, I guess.

My Favorite 'Tokyo Shock' Movies

Usually low-budget,weird, super gory, violent, over the top gross out films with some very interesting storylines!

These movies are hard to explain. And usually, have to be seen to be believed.

1. Ichi the Killer (2001)
My 11 Favorite "Tokyo Shock" Movies

A sadomasochistic yakuza enforcer named Kakihara goes crazy in the search for his boss that went missing, Including torturing the living hell out of anyone he suspects and some very severe self-mutilation along the way.

He crosses paths with Ichi, A sexually repressed psychotic who has been turned into a killing machine by a cop(And, Who actually killed the yakuza boss in the first place).

Directed by the wonderful Takashi Miike, And based on a manga of the same name.

2. The Machine Girl (2008)
My 11 Favorite "Tokyo Shock" Movies

The very first Tokyo shock movie I seen, And the one that got me hooked.

Ami loses her brother and her arm to a bloodthirsty yakuza gang, Two mechanics replace her missing limb with a machine gun.

She then exacts some bloody, splatterific revenge.

3. Tokyo Gore Police (2008)
My 11 Favorite "Tokyo Shock" Movies

A very sexy policewoman battles mutated cyborgs all over Tokyo. I really love this one!

Features some of the coolest swords ever!

5. Reipu zonbi: Lust of the dead (2012)
My 11 Favorite "Tokyo Shock" Movies

The women of Tokyo are attacked by some very horny zombies and perverted Otaku.

There are sequels, But they all pretty much add up to one long movie. Worth seeing just for Yui Aikawa <3

After a female student gets raped and left for dead, A Scientist gives her a robotic body , and a Monk gives her magical powers to take revenge.

  • Cool movies. Some I seen and others I have to catch up and see. But very true uncut and sometimes even director cut versions are better to watch. I hate when movies get censored

    • Me too :( Makes me feel cheated.

    • Yeah same here. The worse is when they release a movie censored. Then they make us wait for the uncut version to come out. They done it to a lot of movies.

  • They seem like crap to me.

  • Man, some of those Japanese girls look so hot...

    • They sure are!
