anyone seen it? very good film about the horrors the japanese army visited upon chinese victims during/after ww2. based on reallity, there are some gruesome scenes in it. it's a well done film, seemed to have a decent budget and, since it's based upon true accounts, it might be worth your while..
all you sick b*stards! ;)

Ugh.

Men behind the sun... wow i wasnt redy for that. i think the reason this one bothered me was because i know this happend, this was real. each death in this movie is a documented fact things just like that were done in the camp this movie was based on. i was just woundering if anyone else has seen this one. im fresh off of watching it like i just got dont like a few seconds ago. i want to pet my cat now and if youve seen this you know why.

I really dug this film when I saw it a few years ago (despite it having badly dubbed voices - a pet hate). Wasn't sure how much was cut out of the version I watched, it definatley had some fucked up shit in it.
Some info for Mr Dracula (http://monsterhunter.coldfusionvideo.com/MenBehindSun.html)
...... I still haven't check out Salo yet. Not sure if I'm into that kinda thing these days.

yeah dont get me wront its pretty raw but its a great movie if your into that kinda thing. in the same boat as cannible houlacoust, i spit on your grave and last house on the left. but unlike the others this is based off of real events.
and good luck finding a uncut copy too. unless you download it somewhere or something you'll have to scour the earth for this one.

I think i remember reading several comments on IMDB calling it the most disgusting movie ever.
I´m staying the hell away from it.:D

The film is about the Japanese germ warfare facility (#731), and a supposedly true account of experimental atrocities the Japs committed there against the Chinese.
How much truth there is in these experiments (the freezing, heating, then tearing off of skin... the pressure chamber that makes your intestines shoot out of your arse) is dubious, but if nothing else Men Behind the Sun comes across as a powerful propaganda film.
Contientious elements include: the rumoured use of real cadavers in an incineration scene, the mauling of a cat by dozens of frenzied rats ("filmmaker2" would have kittens him/herself if he/she saw this one) and the igniting of said rats after they are doused in something flammable.

The sequels are not up to scratch, like the man said.
Lab of the Devil is more (of the same) experiments, and Narrow Escape is plain bland.
The subtitled version of Lab of the Devil is cut BTW - the English dubbed version is not.
An unofficial "sequel" - Black Sun: The Nanking Massacre, by the original director - is better (including an extraordinarily nasty scene involving a baby popped into a cauldron of boiling water...).

Yeah, as has been mentioned the thing that REALLY bothered me and will stop me seeing it is this:
"Mous, wanting desperately to show the realism in these various scenes, completely goes over the edge of filmmaking. During the scene where the mute is being cut open and several of his innards removed...the crew actually used a real body of a boy of the actor's age who had been recently killed in a car accident. What you witness in those scenes are real doctors (dressed up to look like the actors) cutting open a real person."
Really sickening stuff. You can read more about it here (http://www.geocities.com/pangit_cash/mbts.html) .

Men Behind the Sun is a real rumour-machine, with even the inestines-exploding-out-the-anus scene said to utilise a real corpse (it isn't, it's a special effect).
The young boy seen autopsied is a real cadaver however - the director asked the police and his parents for permission to film this process, and they agreed once they understood the subject matter and purpose of Mous' film.
Like Cannibal Holocaust, Aftermath and Faces of Death, Men Behind the Sun really seperates the men from the boys in terms of uncompromising hardcore viewing.

What kind of sick parents wants the corpse of their dead child in an exploitation film?:confused: :mad:

Men Behind the Sun is considered more as propaganda.
The chinese boy's parents understood the film would be underlining - not exploiting - the horrific treatment of the Chinese at the hands of the Japs, and allowed their son to be involved in it.
movie is nothing special

has anybody else subjected themselves to this downer of a film?
really more of a torture/gore film....that tackles the subject of the experiments the Japanese performed on Chinese prisoners of war....very realistic effects.....and unfortunatly some true animal killing....but worth viewing for the historical subject matter....and well the gore
