Untitled[edit]

I think whoever wrote the main article meant to say that he is often compared with David Cronenberg, not David Lynch!

This article needs updating, Tsukamoto has made more films since then. --87.244.137.171 15:12, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article is not so good, i corrected a few factual things (ie his early films were shot on colour 8mm, not b/w 16mm film) but can't be bothered to rewrite much more! :) ...but in the light of reading the book Iron Man: The Cinema of Shinya Tsukamoto, I realise that the internet/western film press's generally accepted ideas about Tsukamoto's work are pretty incomplete and sometimes wrong. For example he made a number of shorts before 'The Phantom of Regular Size' and 'The Adventure of Denchu Kozo' but these are usually referred to as his first films... also several of his films assumed to have been produced in a more mainstream/upbudget capacity than Tetsuo were actually made for around the same amount, just with deliberately higher production values...

Anyway, I may add more later, it's not so bad as it is and I'm to lazy right now! :)

That book is good, i'd advise Tsukamoto fans to check it out, lots of previously unknown info and insight into his films.

.............

Removed the first lines of the biography... it's absurd and western-centric to start a bio of this great filmmaker by talking about his films being compared to the work of David Lynch... it's not even that great a comparison, they have much more in common with the films of cronenburg, Zulawski or even Svankmajer than lynch... lazy film critics just always mention lynch because they both made a weird black + white film at the start of their careers..:) I suppose the Lynch and other comparisons do merit some mention somewhere here but not at the start of the bio!

When i have the chance I'll add more info based on the afforementioned book. --81.158.54.181 00:32, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia section[edit]

The entire section lacks attribution and, being a trivia section, is discouraged in any case. Please consider integrating this information, with attributions, into the article's text. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 15:44, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shinya Tsukamoto who plays the muscle bound mastermind in Ichi the Killer (2001) supplied the semen in the opening scene, where the title is revealed. Miike gave a bucket to Tsukamoto to fill but was unable to provide enough material for the shot. He passed the bucket to four other crew members to add the remaining amount.
Although Tsukamoto has a huge following amongst the Japanese youth, he has gone on record saying he hates them, as he considers the lives they live meaningless. [citation?]
Chu Ishikawa has provided the music for all of Tsukamoto's films, with the exception of Hiruko the Goblin.
Kei Fujiwara was a member of Tsukamoto's theatre troup, and appeared in Adventures of Electric Rod Boy and Tetsuo: the Iron Man as the girlfriend.
Shozin Fukui is rumoured to have worked on Tetsuo: the Iron Man.

I added the Shozin Fukui connection to the Fukui page, with reference from the Tom Mes book. (Which unfortunately doesn't say WHAT Fukui did...) I've noticed that the film types (super-8/16mm/35mm) listed in the per-film summeries at the end of Mes's book are wrong. (For example, it lists Tokyo Fist as 35mm, but he says it was 16mm earlier in the book.) I suspect it's listing how each film was distributed, not how it was shot. So I'm trying to find other sources to fill out the rest of the Filmography table. Shieldforyoureyes (talk) 12:51, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
