ichi the killer skatz
Director Takashi Miike reveals on the US TokyoShock DVD release that the semen used in the close-up during the intro sequence, when the film's title raises out of a puddle of semen, is real. It was notably supplied by Japanese director Shinya Tsukamoto (Tetsuo: The Iron Man) who plays Jijii, the mastermind that controls Ichi. Miike gave a bucket to Tsukamoto to fill but was unable to provide enough material for the shot. He passed the bucket to three other crew members to add the remaining amount.
Miike planned to have the pimp beat up the prostitute with three punches. In the end, he increased the number to fifteen because he could not stand the actress, Mai Goto. .
