Too bad it didn't last one more week and end with Alone in the Dark 2 which has been out on dvd in the UK since July.

Yes, because that dubbing was the only problem with the film. "
I said I liked it, I never said it was good. I also never said that the dubbing was the only problem. I was just commenting on how horrible it was. No need to attack me like I'm some sort of weeaboo.

Ryan seems a little tired on this Tang, but I don`t think the material inspired him much. The CG was aweful, i could see that. i saw the bad voice-overr, also Bikini honey was kinda purty, and thats about it. What truly made this Tang was that mix, pretty damn good! Good job on the editing in the Tangs past, also, is that Vinnie? 
 
 Thankyou Ryan though for a good job on doing tang. I hope you bring it back.. Even though I said you were a bit subdued in this last one, you seem to be working into the whole mindset and such of a true reviewer, getting proffessional. After the specrapular movies of wats-his- name, sometimes not much to say except a regular bad movie is simply flat and why. You really need a good movie to work with, and that doesn`t seem to be happening soon. Thanks again.

I don't know how I'll live without TANG. I want to see more! As soon as you guys bring it back, I'll be here to watch it. This video feature made the site for me and it's possibly the best video series I've ever seen on the internet. Great stuff Ryan!

wow.
 
two things; 
1) the clip of the fat dude screaming, did it originally have the quick zoom in it, or did Vinny do a digi-zoom there?
 
2) Not to be crass but uh... Shouldn't the main characters tits have been about 6 cup sizes bigger, and defied physics as we know it?

The whole 'ass-kicking, peadophile-baiting, Japanese schoolgirl' bullshit is really played-out by this point.
 
Just buy TOKYO GORE POLICE and say goodbye to this degenerate bastard of a genre forever.
 
Even a self-confessed pervert like me is well sick of it.

To be fair, the dub makes it far, far worse.
 
And, dammit, with no more Endurance Run and TANG over for the time being, other than Quick Looks the Bomb is gonna be running short on video content.

TANG, *sigh* what a great idea. Still, Im sure that the crew car fill in the gap.

Congratulations on finishing your first season of TANG!  More importantly, for finishing it mostly sane!
 
Regarding the CG in this movie, yeah, it looks very obvious and not terribly realistic from the few shots I've seen in your review.  But I honestly wonder if it would be even possible to make it look realistic.  I mean, glowing swords?  People moving so quickly you lose sight of them?  That stuff is going to look unrealistic no matter what.

Endurance Run is done, TANG is done. If they decide that they're done with Mailbags I don't know what to watch anymore.

i loved TANG while it lasted. same with the ER. it's a shame to see such beloved series come, at least temporarily, to an end. but i'm sure the GB crew is conceptualizing some amazing new series to take their place.

Been good seeing these as there are many in TANG that I missed seeing, too bad that it was just Ryan having to subject his sanity to seeing all these.  
 
And after seeing the trainwreck of a PS1 game being put out on the Xbox360, I wouldn't have believed that the movie would be worse than playing that game. Also I can't agree more with Ryan that this should have just been an anime instead.

Change Hugh Jackman's character name from Van Hellsing to Simon Belmont and call that the Castlevania movie.

On behalf of the Japanese people I'd like to apologize for this movie. I like hot girls, I love swords, shit, I even like zombies. But this movie is something that just simply should never be watched. By anyone. Ever.

You just know there's some 15 year old Otaku watching this, saying that Onechanbara is a deep and meaningful movie ruined only and solely by the bad dub. 
 
Because Japanese voices are better and more convincing despite the kid not actually understanding the language, and what may sound good to them may seem terrible over there. >.>
