Shocking Asia (1974)
9/10
Finally a movie that lives up to its title
30 May 2001
This is one whacked out mondo movie...DEFINITELY not for kids, those who are squeamish, or those looking for a cultural film on Asia. Although this delivers some cultural information, the emphasis here is on showing the viewer disgusting and violent sights from underground Asian populace. A lot of emphasis is on sex, with transsexuals galore...and try not to blow chunks during the sex-change operation...that's SICK. Whereas many "mondo" flicks from the '60s and 70's tended to resort to footage not so graphic, this flick throws a LOT of graphic footage into its run time. You have been warned...this one gets quite gross, but ultimately, I thought it was pretty interesting, and would reccommend it to those looking for a BIZARRE viewing experience, or fans of these "mondo" flicks.
