Do you remember when you saw "Robocop 3" and thought, wow, they should really remake this as a Japanese movie with an absurd amount of chopped limbs and blood splatter? And I mean, a Peter Jackson trying to outdo Peter Jackson amount of "Dead Alive" blood and severed limbs? And you wanted that film to have lines like, "I am an able eulogist"? Well, someone listened to you.
The film takes on the commercialization of violence, making the same points as "Natural Born Killers." It also emphasizes the transformative nature of people. One person has become (probably against his or her will) a chair -- I can't explain how. One woman's legs become a Venus Flytrap. Another person dressed like the gimp has swords for legs. A man's brain emerges from the top of his skull, two gun chambers protrude from his eyes, and he starts firing projectiles at the heroine (the woman from "Audition"). Basically, as the film goes on, it gets more and more -- for lack of a better word -- Japanese.
