  • Some Japanese animation that may fit the bill:

    • Dallos (1983) - A scifi/political OVA from the creator of Ghost in the Shell.
    • Kite (1998) - Action/revenge movie. Includes porn scenes, but IMO this is not a typical “hentai” movie.
    • Ninja Scroll (1993) - Action movie set in pre-Meiji era.
    • Megazone 23 (1985 to 1989) - Series of scifi/cyberpunk movies. The concept and especially the first movie likely served as an inspiration for the Matrix series.
    • Perfect Blue (1998) - An exploitation/thriller that IMO easily beats most Hollywood fare. Was originally supposed to a live-action movie, but they switched to animation because they couldn’t get the budget for a live-action movie.
    • Vampire Hunter D (1985) - Solid vampire themed action movie.
    • Wicked City (1987) - Action/horror with gothic themes and nudity.
























  • I watched the remake first and I actually liked it more than the original (marginally). The original was great, but I honestly thought the remake was more entertaining (and I have no issues watching “older” movies).

    The second one was solid as well, but as often happens with sequels, it didn’t quiet match the first one.

    That being said, I am looking forward to the third one.
