24Framespersecond.net - Poster and stills for Noboru Iguchi’s ZOMBIE ASS

Wracked with guilt over the suicide of her sister Ai, who was tormented by high school bullies, pretty young karate student Megumi accompanies a group of older friends on a trip into the woods: smart girl Aya, her druggie boyfriend Tak, big-boobed model Maki, and nerdy Naoi. Things start to go badly when Maki finds a parasitical worm inside a fish they catch – and wolfs it down alive, in the hope that it’ll help keep her skinny! And then….zombies! The group is attacked by a crowd of poop-covered undead who emerge from an outhouse toilet, and seek refuge at the home of strange Dr. Tanaka and his daughter Sachi. But unbeknownst to them, Tanaka has been conducting experiments on the parasites–and the zombies!–and has another fate in mind for the five strangers from the city. What’s the connection between the parasites and the undead? And can Megumi’s karate alone help them escape, or will she have to rely on the liberating power of farts to save the day? Featuring special effects by FF 2009-2010 guest Yoshihiro Nishimura, and some truly jaw- dropping contributions from Iguchi’s genius subconscious (parasite anus-zombies?!?), ZOMBIE ASS is a heaping helping of bad taste that may go down rough but is guaranteed to come out smooth and regular.

Is it just me Adgy...or is this one going just a TAD too far?

You know, I kind of had a similar thought when I first saw/read about this, but then I remembered all the **** that was in Tokyo Gore Police and stuff and I think it can't be much worse than that, can it?

My only real fear is that the "joke" these films represent might start getting a little old, but I've been pretty happy with most of what I've seen so far.

I don't think the 'joke' will ever get old as long as 45 year old man-children like me exist, and I am not averse to poop gags, but an entire movie, and a 'sushi-typhoon' type one at that, that starts in the scatalogical...even I has me limits. The Golgothan(Dogma)/Mr Hankey make me throw up a little.

As long as I don't have to smell it, I'm good.

A new Kim Ki-Duk movie is ALWAYS good news.

Nakadai and production designer Yoshirô Muraki... - Samurai Cinema

Nakadai and production designer Yoshirô Muraki relate that the notorious “blood explosion” at the film’s end was done in one take. At the moment that the compressor hose attached to actor Tatsuya Nakadai was activated it blew a coupling causing a much larger gush of fluid than planned. In fact it was so strong that it nearly lifted him off the ground and it took all his might to finish the scene.
