Rapeman (1993, Takao Nagaishi)


“Rapeman’s motto is: Righting wrongs through penetration. We have a responsibility to uphold. Think about the children at the Sunflower Orphanage”.

One of the most un-pc films since Ilsa She Wolf of the SS, based on the manga, a school teacher sets up a business called Rapeman Services, which is co-run with his uncle. He gets paid by men to rape women as punishment for various wrongdoings and then donates the money to an orphanage but gets caught up in a political plot. The film is not pornographic or sleazy and the rape scenes are not at all disturbing as the film is aimed at comedy. It’s cheesy and bad in a good way but there aren’t enough laughs or a good enough story to sustain interest. It led to a whole series of sequels.
