The Audition thing's the 'je je je je je' isn't it? I can't remember where it happens in the film, only 'kirikirikiri'. Or 'tikitikitiki'? It's been a long while; I was definitely thinking 'hmm, Audition' but couldn't put the finger on it. Still, the bit with the spiderstorm coming out the bodice was... well, it's probably the most appalling and upsetting thing I've seen in a non-mature readers labelled book, and worse indeed than most of those. Laudable, really, to get away with it.
It's funny, I never put E Honda (or Ganryu if you prefer; I know I do) in the frame with Fat Cobra - totally glommed the fight-scene transitions were very much in the Tekken/SF2 tradition - and I'm pretty sure it's steeped in Tartan Video/Konami/etc. modern Oriental pop culture altogether, imagine Dog Brother #1 (my fave too, actually; unsure why, perhaps it's the whole co-operative vibe) is just drawn from a well nearby from whence I have not supped, but I never put the whole set-up together which is, basically, a totally sweet beat 'em up. In the Heart of Heaven? Come on, that's like Tekken 3 or so. Not enough fighters to make a magic coin-op but that's the blueprint. |
