WHY'D I WATCH IT?

WHAT'D I THINK? *SPOILERS*
Too much Sex, not enough Fury.
I riffed the **** out of this movie as I was watching it, it was so goofy at times.
"I wonder if 'nymphomaniac' is a name for you?"
No, but 'BEDFIRE' IS if you get that cigar any closer to her hair!
The movie's pretty brisk for the most part which keeps me interested in what's going on. The story's not difficult to follow up until the Deer, Boar, and Butterfly plotpoint comes out of nowhere like a shotgun going off in your ear.
UUUUHHHHH, an hour in and we were supposed to know this HOW?
A bunch of characters get introduced and then immediately forgotten for no reason other than a fart joke and a condom joke, but the whole mystery-solving arc of the movie (which is never a mystery) is essentially on vacation until they're referenced one last time for a gay joke.
One of my biggest complaints would easily have to be the sex scenes because they GO ON FOREVER and only two of them really serve any sort of purpose to the story.
There's one rape scene which exists for no other reason than to make the villain more villainous which is almost immediately followed by another rape scene which exists for no reason.
Eventually we get one sex scene in which our hero, Ocho, comes on to the bad guy and instantly I'm thinkin, "she's gonna kill him". Sure enough, given an absurd amount of time later, yep, she's poisoned her skin and his tit-sucklin' gets him killed. Saw that comin' last year.
You know, the second rape scene in this movie actually reminds me of a trope in porno I just find really absurd: The guy is trying to rape her, right? What in the **** is he doing rubbing his face all over her? Foreplay, dude? Really? Or are you JUST THAT REPRESSED?
To be honest, I'd have given this movie a solid
[Meh...] if all it ever did was the opening naked swordfight (which was awesome), the poison sex (which took WAY too long), and inevitable final showdown (which couldn't come fast enough), but then this movie took a hard left turn into
WTF BITCH!?
The English-speaking girl in the movie is ostensibly on the side of Ocho, and in a final confrontation on a train where Ocho helps to reunite her with her love interest, this girl wheels out of nowhere and pistolwhips her into unconsciousness after which he cut to Ocho chained up and being whipped into a bloody pulp.
WTF, BITCH!?
So now I'm like, "alright, she's gotta die now", but NO! Ocho doesn't get revenge, instead Ocho's off having an
Empire Strikes Back moment while the English-speaking girl just gets randomly shot and killed to harp music. Oh no, how sad that she DIED.
Ocho finally gets freed... somehow... and goes on a slaughtering spree which is still easier to watch than the Crazy 88s scene from
Kill Bill and then the movie just ends like it was some epic journey that really definitely needed those sex scenes.
Female Yakuza Tale, can you improve upon the formula?
Final Verdict: [Just... Bad]
