Teruo Ishii made a bunch of horror, action and exploitation films. Titles include Starman, Joys of Torture, Horrors of Malform Man, Blind Beast vs. Dwarf, Female Yakuza Tale: Inquisition and Torture, The Blind Woman's Curse, Yakuza Punishment: Lynch, Inferno of Torture and some Sonny Chiba action films like The Executioner and The Streetfighter's Last Revenge.

Below is the poster for Female Yakuza Tale: Inquisition and Torture. Sorry about the crappy quality.

Sadly, I haven't seen a single one of those films you mentioned save for maybe one of the SONNY CHIBA flicks.

By the way, is that a picture of your own poster?

I would suggest that you start with the Joys of Torture films, lots of nudity and gore. :devil:

Yes, that poster adorns the wall of my tiny apartment along with a few other choice pics, but thats a whole other thread. :)
