Ahh, Kung Fu Christmas is now out of the way, so what’s next for VC? Well, first up I have several reviews to post (although my review for Women’s Prison Massacre will have to wait until I can find my DVD again to grab screencaps!) and I should almost be set for the month on that front. Aside from that, I’ll be working with Coffin Jon on the VCinema podcast which should be pretty amazing. We’ll be covering Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky on that first show and hopefully we’ll be recording soon! Keep your fingers crossed! For right now, I’m working on a new top-head for Varied Celluloid and the VCinema web page. Keep an eye out folks!
The Plot: The King Game is simple. Four contestants are placed in one room with a cage in the corner. Each contestant draws a card, with the winner getting to choose what two other contestants do inside of the cage for an allotted period of time. If you back out, give up or die – you lose your chance at 10 million yen. The game stays the same, but the contestants are always different. This time out we’ve got the forty year old divorced ex-police officer who needs the money to alleviate the considerable gambling debt hovering over his head. He is ill tempered and a serious degenerate with nothing left to lose. Then you’ve got the 32 year old ex-housewife who has fallen under the rule of a cult leader who has ordered her onto the show. She is willing to martyr herself for her religion, which could make her more dangerous than the others. Next is a young man of 28 years old, who claims to simply want to play the game. For no real reason at all. He almost seems bored to even be going through with all of this. Is he insane or is he hiding something? Last but not least there is the young 20 year old girl who has already played the game three times and won each of them. She is a King Game Professional! With her introduction, the stakes are raised another 10 million yen. So, with 20 million yen riding on the game and a seasoned pro in there as well look for these contestants to push each other harder than ever before. With more horrid behavior and devastating consequences based on their incredible greed, this game could be the nastiest yet.
