i actually read the books for "Ichi the killer" - its not over yet, as its a continuing series. You think the movie is bad, the fucking books are horrendous.... i almost threw up when i was reading the books as i was eating noodles one day.
i havent seen the movie myself, but there are 3 specific scenes that i remember in the book that fucking made me get sick
1) where kakihara ( the main character of the movie, but not the book) finds some guy fucking his woman, so he drags his ass out to the balcony, makes the guy BJ his gun, then sticks the gun up the guys asshole, pulls the trigger a few times and laughs as he throws the dead body off the balcony
2) Ichi ( who is the killer, and main character) gets his kicks by getting his load swallowed by women who get the fuck beat out of them - he gets his kicks with women of severe dosmetic violence abuse.
3) 2 hired killers ( hired by kakihara )who are ultra competitive with each other ( they are twin brothers). one of the brothers is told by a high class call girl that his brother is a little better than him, and then gets so pissed off that he cuts off both of her nipples and starts cooking them , and force feeds them to her, all the while pulling out the hair on her head ( she was always into her hair and stroking it) .
its a good read, but definitely not for the weak of stomach.
