Yet another DVD Mystère discussion thread

Now you made this hard for everyone. The last guess is a mess. I can't say no because it is indeed one of those films. I can't say yes because the title isn't even half right (the correct answer being Inferno of Torture. Shogun's Sadism is not even a Teruo Ishii film). If I ask you to specify the last quess then it's like telling you you're right, just put the title in correct form and you'll get the points. That would be unfair. Besides, there's more than three guesses which means zero points.

Game keeper should solve this. I can post a new cap from another movie if needed.

I'm just glad I would have gotten there eventually! I knew it was one of the five Toei R2J's.
The Shoguns Sadism bit was assumption/confusion because of Tokugawa in the titles.

I know what you mean. These films have a million alternate titles and also a lot of mix ups. IMDB being a good example. Most user reviews and review links on their Inferno of Torture page are actually for Shogun's Sadism. And if look at the Shogun's Sadism reviews you can see every review is listing a different production year (everything between 1968 and 1976).

The only subs I could find for The Joy of Torture were actually Shogun's Sadism subs. The subtitle file even had Teruo Ishii's name and the wrong production year in its title. Had to buy the Japan Shock release just so I could get a translation for the film. And what did I get. Poorly timed (aka heavy re-timing for me) dubtitles.

Inferno of Torture?

lol, you're in a league of your own when it comes to knowledge of jidaigeki exploitation films on these boards Hungfist, and then you go and post a picture of a film that half the people in the west don't even know the right bloody title of! Too cruel!

I think Lourdes has earned his points, let him have this round! 8)

Please do.
Current round is cancelled.

@Lourdes:
Please be a little bit more specific when you're guessing.
Stuff like "One of those movies" doesn't work in this game.

That seems to be the case with so many of these exploitation and yakuza films. I remember the fun I had trying to find out about the Female Prisoner series. Took me long enough to find how many films there were, let alone accurate titles.

@Tom,
It seemed pretty pointless to go back and forth several times when I knew it was one of the four.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 09 Dec 2006, 01:57

I understand.

But 4 guesses = 0 Points (the rules are clear).

That makes it easier for you. Naming any of the official titles gets you the points. There was three ways to score with this cap. Tokugawa irezumi-shi: Seme jigoku, Inferno of Torture and Hell's Tattooers. Lordes' guess was no good because it was a combination of several different movie titles and not even half of the title was right.

I know the films are little known, but the my caps are not impossible to get right because the awailability of these films is very limited. It's not like when Ken or Mark is posting a rare HK cap and there's a trillion movies it could be. In pinky violence genre there's maybe 25 movies released on dvd and that includes the R2J's as well.

Also, my second and third caps are always direct hints of the title (In case of Inferno of Torture the second cap would've been a burnining house and the third a woman being tortured. With Porno Jidaigeki I posted a cap of a sex scene and a cap showing a bunch of Samurais).

I'll be running out of Pink soon... as I said, the availability is very limited.

My comments were meant to be a compliment about your knowledge of this sub genre, not an insult to how you're playing the game, sorry. However, if you think i'm trying to make the game easier for myself then I think you need to chill out a bit and not take this game so seriously, it's meant to just be a fun little game - does anyone really care who wins?

Those HK films Ken and Mark post are probably more likely to be familiar to posters on these boards because most people here have had far greater exposure to old HK films than they have Japanese. Again, the vast majority of people on these boards also don't buy a trememdous amount of r2j DVDs, so the fact there are limited DVD releases of these Japanese titles probably means nothing to them.

Again I'm not having a dig , as I think you win a round you have the right to post whatever screengrab you want. I just meant that we shouldn't be so anal about the rules all the time and could've at least given Lourdes 1 point, as he was getting there until you decided to end the game for him and not nudge him forward with a hint that he was on the right tracks and needed to refine his answer. 8)

HungFist · Post by **HungFist** » 09 Dec 2006, 17:26

Don't get me wrong. I didn't take that as an insult, and I'm surprised you even thought I might have taken it as an insult.

And I'm not taking this seriously. The only problem with Lordes's guess was that it got me confused. I didn't know whether to end the round or not. We're still counting points, so we should be fair, don't you think. And since we do have rules here (written somewhere) I can't give him points when he placed more than three guesses and didn't even specify the title. Again, this has nothing to do with taking this game too seriously, it's just that we were stucked because I didn't know if the round was over or not.

@ Brad, no. How could you even think of such thing

(also, don't you think the cinematographer should be outside the picture?)

@ Tom, yes

Shingster · Post by **Shingster** » 09 Dec 2006, 17:30

No probs then Hung, just glad I didn't offend 8)
It's good that the game has rules and Tom sticks to em, if it were me running the game everyone would probably have 100points already

Tom, how did you know it? I thought people wouldn't get it so easily and I'd get a chance to post some Aki sweetness later
