What They Said About ヴァーサス Film:
Mad-as-a-bag-of-badgers Japanese Yakuza/zombie/Highlander hybrid (I think), made on a micro-budget by Ryûhei Kitamura, the guy who would go on to direct enjoyable gore-fest The Midnight Meat Train. Honestly, if they spent more than two hundred quid on this thing, then I can't see where the money went. I kind-of liked it though, in a bizarre way. So what's it all about then? Hm. Fecked if I know, to be truthful. We're informed early on that there are apparently 666 portals to "the other side" on Earth, all hidden from man. Our story takes place in the "Forest of Resurrection" in Japan, the 444th portal. We open with a medieval Japanese warrior, in said forest, surrounded by what appears to be similar Japanese warriors, but undead ones. Anyway, no sooner has our man cut down these ghoulies with a swish and a slash, than he himself is cut in half by what appears to be some sorcerer/warrior fellow, who in turn is already (I think) facing off against some other mean-looking samurai-type. Then, title card, then, um, a pair of modern-day escaped prisoners running through what I suppose must be the same forest, en route to a rendezvous with a bunch of Yakuza hoodlums sent to... what? help them? Not sure, since the meeting degenerates quickly into a stand-off between the Yakuza and the prisoners (along with a girl the Yakuza had captive in their car), which turns into a chase through the woods, but not before a prisoner and a Yakuza are killed and reanimated as zombies. Off go the girl and the other prisoner (finding our prisoner fellow some sexy leather duds on some previously-slaughtered poor sod; the place is choc-full of dead/UNdead Japanese criminals, by the looks of things) and off go the remaining Yakuza in hot pursuit, needing to recapture them before "He" shows up. "He"? Who? Erm, the Yakuza bossman I think, Except that as soon as "He" shows up, his gang (along with a few more members who were just hiding in the trees) mutiny, and shoot him to pieces. Except he stands straight back up and attacks them. And he ISN'T a zombie. He's... what? Immortal? Hang on, isn't he that sorcerer-y fellow from the first scene? Oh, he's just bitten someone's neck. So, he's a vampire? And who are these cop types who've shown up and keep bickering? Um... Oh, sod it. Here are the tweets I took to posting when I probably should've been paying attention: -Currently watching a Japanese film called Versus. Looks like it was made out in the woods for a tenner. And it is utterly demented. -I went for a poo for ten minutes near the start of it and I can't pick up the thread of what's going on. It's just mad craziness. -It's just a rabid succession of people who may or may not be alive, immortal, dead or undead, fighting, in a forest. I think. -NOW what's happening?!? Why's everyone suddenly dressed like feudal Samurai? Are they different people to the other people? Where am I? -Unh? WTF? Where did those power rangers go? Everyone's dressed modern again. Why's that woman tied to a tree? -Why's that bellend screaming about "gates" and "power"? Isn't he that Samurai guy? No? Yes? Is that a zombie up that tree there? -Why's that zombie doing a lizard/jaguar impression? He looks like a ****... who are these, now? Where's that bloke's hand gone? -Is it a comedy? A screwball comedy? Oh, he's just blown up that zombie doing the lizard face and scratchy hands. Good. Knob, he was. -It's a big sword-off now between the two leather-jackety guys. Were they the main good/bad guys all the way through, then? -Oh, his head's off. That other fella's off on his motorbike. So, where were those samurai types then? What was that all about? -"99 years later"? Eh? Who are those baldies? Isn't that yer man who's head fell off? What's that silly bitch moaning about? -Oh, it's finished. Ha! I definitely need to watch that again, I've never been so lost. Made Eraserhead look like Gavin & Stacey. So there you have it. If two hours of ceaseless kicky-slashy fighting between alive/dead/undead/immortal Japanese types, in a forest, set to an arcade game-standard techno-rock soundtrack appeals, then this is the film for you. I can't rate it very highly at this point - I'm just too overwhelmed, really - but I'm tempted to look at it again. As I said, I kind-of liked it, for all its mentalness. 6/10.
Here are some translations about the film:
Versus
Nachdem Gefangener KSC2-303 aus dem Polizeiarrest fliehen konnte, verschlägt es ihn in den Wald der Wiederauferstehung. Hier trifft er auf eine Bande übler Yakuza, die ein Mädchen entführt haben. KSC2-303 gelingt es, das Mädchen aus den Fängen der Gangster zu befreien, die jedoch sofort die Verfolgung aufnehmen. Als wäre das nicht schon genug ärger, wimmelt es im ganzen Wald auch noch von Zombies, die dem Flüchtling an den Kragen wollen...

Sea testigo de una batalla que nadie ha visto nunca
Un convicto escapa al bosque con la ayuda de unos gángsters de la yakuza japonesa. Con ellos también va un chica que han secuestrado, y a la que el convicto se ve obligado a proteger. Ambos huyen hacia lo profundo del bosque perseguidos por los gángsters, pues los dos son requeridos por el cliente de los mercenarios. Lo que éstos no saben es que están en el "bosque de la resurrección", donde los muertos vuelven a la vida como zombies...

Versus, l'ultime guerrier
Au Japon, deux prisonniers en fuite, matricule KSC2-303 et un voisin de cellule, courent dans une forêt mystérieuse où ils ont donné rendez-vous à leurs complices. À leur arrivée, une voiture approche. Cinq yakusas en sortent. Les deux fugitifs sont pressés de partir, mais on leur donne l'ordre d'attendre le chef du gang. Les yakusas font descendre une jeune femme qu'ils commencent à frapper. KSC2-303 lui porte secours, s'empare d'un pistolet et abat un gangster. On le croyait mort, mais tel un zombie, il se relève et saute sur l'un de ses acolytes. Abasourdis par ce qu'ils voient, les tueurs criblent de balles le mort-vivant qui finit par s'écrouler. Profitant de la panique, KSC2-303 s'enfuit avec la demoiselle dans la forêt.

אקשן מטורף המשלב אלימות, הומור ואסתטיקה יפנית לכדי יצירה ייחודית, נדירה בעוצמתה. האסיר קיי.אס.סי 2- 303 נמלט מהכלא לתוך מעבה היער, על מנת להיפגש עם חבורת יאקוזה שממתינה לו. רק שאין זה יער רגיל וכדי לשרוד עליו להיאבק במתים-חיים ובמכשף אכזר שאוחז בסוד גדול.

Versus
A Feltámadás erdejében örök csatáját vívja a jó és a rossz. Ebbe a küzdelembe csöppen bele a KSC2-303-as rab, aki egy szigorúan őrzött börtönből szökött az erdőbe. A térben és időben folyó, mindent felforgató csata hevében a szökevény már azt sem tudja, melyik oldalon áll. Ráadásul a győzelemre még a halálos kimenetelű csapás sem garancia, hisz az ellenfelek visszatérnek holtukból. Megoldást egyedül csak egy gyönyörű nő jelenthet, aki viszont jó mélyen elrejtőzött az erdőben.

Há 666 portais que conectam este mundo com o outro lado. Eles estão escondidos dentro dos seres humanos. Em algum lugar no Japão existe o portal de número 444. Quem o atravessar voltará da morte. Um grupo de homens se encontra na Floresta da Ressurreição para resgatar um perigoso prisioneiro que acaba de fugir da cadeia. Ele já matou mais de 40 pessoas. Inicia-se uma luta muito curiosa. Aqueles que são atingidos fatalmente caem, mas logo voltam ao combate. O Prisioneiro sobrevive ao chumbo grosso das pistolas e terá que duelar com O Homem, que está sedento pelo sangue da Garota, o único líquido capaz de abrir o portal.
