5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I could find Shocking Asia 2, October 29, 1999

By A Customer

I first saw this movie 7 years ago. I have since moved from the town I was in (where I rented the Movie) This film is great. Asia is very shocking indeed. Amazon needs to find part 2 of this documentary. It is just as great as the first one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very interesting and funny, September 28, 2000

By	Iain Black "Iain1028" (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Well this is my favorite shockumentry of all time because it explores a world that many of us westerners know little about. From the seedy undergrounds of prostitutes in Indonesia to an actual filming of a sex change operation I was fascinated and can watch this strange video over and over again. The second one isn't as good though.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't Watch While Eating Supper, September 12, 2005

By	Robert H. Knox (Brentwood, NH United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Shocking Asia (DVD)

Japanese dwarf wrestling! Indian self-mutilation! Graphic butchery of animals! An actual sex-change operation! You get the idea...break out a six-pack and dig this entertaining MONDO CANE clone designed to make Occidentals tremble with rage and loathing. It's actually a well-done and rather educational film for those who can hack the subject matter. Picture quality is generally excellent, though a couple of tape glitches can be seen...not too bad, though, and not the DVD's fault, as they're clearly in the source material. I heartily recommend this disc to all seekers of the unusual, but, need I add: be careful who you allow to watch, as it's not for kids or the easily offended. Watch for SHOCKING ASIA 2!
