Private Notes
No wonder the Japanese are such a stressed-out society: They enjoy mutilating and torturing each other just for the hell of it...not to mention for the benefits of the television cameras, and Japanarama! Volume 1 captures two hours of only the very twisted of psycho TV from Japan.
Much of this party tape utilizes footage from bizarre and cruel game shows, including:
-Super Jockey, in which contestants immerse their bodies in scalding hot water in exchange for commercial time to plug their various wares. As an added twist, they also have to change into a swimsuit beforehand within an allotted amount of time or the modesty-protecting curtain drops on them.
-A quiz show in which if you answer a question wrong, you are catapulted via bungie off a cliffside. Many of the contestants do not leave the ramp with their clothes intact.
-A beachside wrestling match pitting hulking pros against 90-lb. weaklings. Said weaklings are always tossed out of the ring, either onto an electrically charged platform or a giant glue trap.
-A one-on-one fight with buckets of hot wax. The players repeatedly squared off until one of them is a human candle.
-Break, which allows four bikini babes to compete in a race to see who can knock a bar down by jumping up and hitting it with their head. The purpose? To see their breasts jiggle in slow motion during the instant replays. If you doubt this, round two has them doing push-ups, much to the delight of the cameras mounted in the floor.
-One in which animals from rabbits and porcupines to snakes and scorpians are placed on the heads of unsuspecting players.
-A tug-of-war, where players are competing not with rope, but string tied to clothes-pins attached to their bare nipples.
Someone please send a copy of this tape to FOX so we can get programming like this here.
Rounding out the tape are some great cheesey commercials, mostly for foods that look grossly unappetizing (i.e. Funky Egg), and some with sell out American
-On Ultra Quiz (misnamed since there are no questions asked), contestants spar with masked pro wrestlers on a floating ring in the ocean. Each round ends when the pro tosses the hapless player into the water, where chum is then thrown to attract the nearby shark. Because watching a guy get his leg swallowed is funny!
-Six guys hit the streets to see who can get their underwear the dirtiest. Hence, scenes of grown men rubbing their bottoms in trashcans and on tailpipes.
-Two men play tug-off-war using only clothespins attached to their tongues.
-Various items are rolled down a tube that empties into a player's mouth. This would be no big deal, except that said objects include a scorpion and a flaming hot coal.
-A couple of apparently thick-skulled men bounce a bowling ball up a ramp with their heads.
-A variety of hot and sour things is poured into men's mouths to see who can stand it the longest. The contest almost ends when lemon juice is poured into one contestants eyes.
-A man with a chunk of meat strapped to his forehead sticks his head into a corridor, whereupon a hungry komodo dragon is unleashed toward him.
-Two guys in jockstraps pull appliances around the room using only a cord attached to the material covering their butt cracks.
-Stripped of his clothes, a man is smothered in butter from head to toe and placed in a cage with a half dozen dogs.
-Two men play chicken with a firecracker, each waiting for the other to let it go before it explodes in their fingers.
Other programs deal not in games, but remain just as cruel nonetheless. For example:
-A young man chows down on beans, eggs and milk in order to work up some noxious fumes, and then farts in the faces of unsuspecting sleepers.
-For more violent wake-up calls, men with machine guns surround someone in a peaceful slumber and open fire.
-A wrestling match between a guy and some sap in a bear costume ends when a solid punch results in a jetstream of blood spurting f
