फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
He nailed this movie right on the head...I agree with everything he says. I found this movie at the Cleveland Public Library's audiovisual department,and being a lover of foreign horror films,I had to see it. I wound up fast-forwarding past all the talking and watching the nasty bits,which are laughable beyond belief. Of course,if you're not a nutcase like me,this movie may sicken you,but the special effects aren't quite special enough to even do that...
Even though I swore to myself I would never lay eyes again on 'Men behind the Sun' or any of its sequels, I am now reviewing part 2. Go figure! I guess the call of the extremes just was too irresistible. At least now I clearly recall why I took this pledge
. These films are almost unbearable. The 'Men behind the Sun' franchise might as well be the most controversial and shocking series of films ever made (maybe a tie with the 'Guinea Pig' series, though) and handles about despicably explicit experiments performed on prisoners in a Japanese army base during WWII. These unfriendly Japs are developing germ-bombs to disable their enemies and a whole lot of other sick stuff involving nitroglycerine etc
There's an ultra-thin wraparound story about a young soldier who's sent to serve in the camp against his will but that's of minor importance. This second chapter is less repulsive than the original, but still contains more than enough sequences to make your stomach turn. Luckily the make-up effects are often cheesy and unquestionably fake. The acting is weak and the directing (by Hong Kong B-movie legend Ho) is atrocious. This is a film without any values. The only reason why it is made is because the DVD looks good in a cult-collection like mine.
I liked this film. I have seen the first one too and unlike what others have said, I don't think it mattered that much, I still enjoyed both. The worst scenes are not as scary or shocking as I had expected, still, on a par with the first movie so you won't be disappointed! I didn't find the film slow at all, the story was actually quite interesting and filmed with such a macabre/melancholy atmosphere that it worked well. Pity the English dubbed version I watched would have taken away the atmosphere from hearing the original audio track and dialogue. Still, it managed to convey the feeling. I am now going to get the third one and I expect it to be worse than either of the first two as there are only so many ways of telling the same story right...?
Watched the original Men Behind the Sun, and then this sequel. This was English dubbed though. Cantonese version may have been way better. Anyway, from the 1st 2 minutes I felt this is some awkward attempt to ride on the "success" of the first movie.
Story about Japanese biological weapons development with some off-topic (maybe I missed something?) autopsies. Some shots are clearly ripped from the first one, like the liquid nitrogen demonstrations and when the leader dude stands in front of the japan flag & his "army". If you haven't seen the original movie, you may like this, anyway I was so much disappointed I recommend watching "Men Behind the Sun" or even "Mermaid in a Manhole" instead, and skip this one.

Both "Man Behind the Sun" and "Maruta 2" are feature films, instead of documentarys. "Man Behind the Sun" fits historical facts, but "Maruta 2" clearly not. It is a fictional war love tragedy. Historical facts are a serious matter. This kind of fictional story is not helpful to people's understanding of history. It will only encourage the hatred of Chinese nationalists, because they may not be able to distinguish between fact and fiction.
The plot of this movie is relatively empty, and the part describing Ida's personal story does not seem to occupy the main line. Hayashida's death was inexplicable. Bing is not exactly Aiko's savior.

- ट्रिवियाThe uncut version was originally refused classification by the OFLC in Australia in September of 1992. One month later, the film was resubmitted, only heavily cut. It received an R18+ rating for cinema release, but when the heavily cut version was resubmitted for a video rating in 1994, it was again refused classification and banned in Australia, even though the same print was given a cinema rating. Finally, in 2004, the film was resubmitted and received an R18+ rating for the original uncut print on video.
- इसके अलावा अन्य वर्जनAfter the film was released on DVD in the Netherlands and then in Austria in 2012, the world's first Blu-ray followed in Hong Kong in 2019. It was noticeable here that the autopsy scene and other bits of violence were filled with an SD image source. Obviously, the original HD master, possibly the original theatrical version from Hong Kong, was heavily censored. But unfortunately, not all of the missing scenes were completely restored, so this Blu-ray is to be classified as cut. It then became curious with the Blu-ray in the USA in 2023, because this was apparently based on the same HD master, but reworked with a completely different color scheme and the inserts for the autopsy scene, for example, were added in a slightly more detailed way. It was therefore assumed that the film had finally been reconstructed uncut, unfortunately, they only created exactly the same cut version as on the Hong Kong Blu-ray. In September 2024, the German-language Blu-ray premiere in mediabooks followed in Austria, which explicitly advertised that the version is "longer than in Hong Kong and the USA" and uncut. Except for a surprising alternative shot in one scene (the HD master is similarly explicit and even longer than the old DVD), the version on this new Blu-ray has been correctly reconstructed to the uncut version and is therefore recommended in principle. What was actually missing in Hong Kong and the USA is largely unspectacular, or at least it is by no means the film's hardest moments: a (presumably racist) folk song and an implied rape were only hinted at here and run longer in the uncut version.
