Rapeman Gaira's Entrails of a Beautiful Woman is an in-name-only sequel to his Entrails of a Virgin produced the same year. Basically what we have here is a Nikkatsu pink film merged with insane 80s J-splatter, ie: loadsa rape 'n' gore! When Yoshimi's sister mysteriously disappears she decides to do some snooping about and discovers that the Ichiyama Yakuza Clan have sold her as a slave in Africa, although by the time she learns this she is being gang-raped by that same gang and shot up with "Angel Rain", a powerful drug that causes her to really dig being raped. After the lads fall asleep she manages to escape and goes straight to her psychiatrist, Hiromi. Yoshimi proceeds to tell Hiromi what has happened then promptly jumps off a bridge to her death.Hiromi plots to get revenge for her patient and seduces one of the yakuza before placing him under hypnosis which compels him to kill the rest of his gang the next time they call him stupid (?!). He doesn't manage this and ends up mutilated and hacked to pieces. Then the clan track down Hiromi, gang-rape her then shoot her up with some Angel Rain which, instead of making her horny, transforms her into an inside-out-hermaphrodite-demon that goes on a killing spree, gorily butchering the yakuza that raped her (and the leaders girl too).From all the wonderfully sleazy rapes to the inside-out-demon rippin' through a chicks stomach with his/her fanged cock in an obvious Alien homage and punchin' through a dudes head; Entrails of a Beautiful Woman is one helluva good time! I actually dug this one far more than Entrails of a Virgin - it's a lot less disjointed, faster paced and brings more gore to the table too.Director Kazuo "Gaira" Komizu seems a really interesting & intelligent character also - in the interview on the Synapse disc, when asked what prompted him to make such a film he lurches into a long and rambling answer in which he touches on philosophers such as Descartes & Rousseau, as well as topics such as the duality of man, Japans lack of a focused religion, and many others that you wouldn't really expect from the man who created this sex 'n' gore epic.

amoclock This movie, I would like to say, was completely great. I can see how many people would think that it's just a shocker film. This isn't completely untrue, but it's as much of shocker fiction as Chuck Palahniuk's books are. One of my favorite movies of all time, Bijo no Harawata is a certain type of crudely made movie that you can have just about any reaction to. It's scary, funny, silly, gross, full of off-the-top material and to some people, arousing. The fist time I saw this, it was with my friend, and his mother had brought it home for him to see it. He said it was just some screwed up Japanese movie, but I saw so much more of it. It's badly made, yes, but it has a certain type of poignancy as to be beautiful, too. As the Director says himself, this is a shocker movie made for a certain reason. Its like atrophy. If you leave audiences soft, then the entire human race is going to be soft. I think this is a good philosophy, and I agree with it one-hundred percent. Bijo no Harawata is the type of movie that gang rapes the hell out of fitness, yogurt, and all of this new-wave stuff.

movieman_kev Sure a film about the yakuza, a dangerous drug, and an inside-out hermaproditic monster with a HUGE monster penis that can transform into a gaping vagina might sound good on paper. But this movie is done lacking suck wit or charisma that the whole film sinks into below mediocrity. If I wanted to watch that trash, I'd rent one of those Guinea Pig 'films'. Don't get me wrong gory films are my bread and butter. But anyone can just throw grue, depravity and rape at the screen. The difference is some people have style (why does "Visitor Q" come to mind?) while others like Komizu don't.Synapse DVD extras: Part 2 of a Kazuo Kmizu interview (which he rambles on and on about philosophy it's weird); and a Theatrical TrailerMy Grade: D

plaznihqyllnikaaf SPOILERS!!!You don't see movies like this every day. This japanese erotic horror movie has it all, sex, rape, yakuza, sex, rape, gore, rape, digitally blured blow jobs, rape, a mutated penis with teeth and a hermafrodite zombie, sufficating a man with her/his/it's vagina!!! There is a really simple storyline in this flick. A psychiatrist tries to avenge a girl, raped by yakuza-like men. This of course involves a lot of sex. She eventually get caught by the "yakuza", and of course gets abused, and then killed by a strong drug. She then returns for her revenge as a zombie!All this may sound really good...but it isn't!!! It's really dull most of the time. Not even the sex scenes(90% of the movie) a interesting. Lame effects and bad editing, makes this even worse (or better!?).The girls are nice though, and the ending is a hoot. Therefore I would rate it a 5 out of ten. With it's 70 min. running time, it's a nice little sick movie to watch in between. On the dutch DVD, there is a nice collection of original trailers, of other sick japanese films like; Evil Dead Trap 1+2 and the first one in the "Guts" series: Guts of a Virgin. All of them looks more interesting than this one.Only for die hard fans of the genre...
