If you don't see the similarities between this movie and Robocop, there's something wrong with you...

An inept gangster is killed during a hit on the boss he idolizes and awakes to find himself turned into a cyborg by a mad scientist. Full Metal Yakuza is basically Robocop meets Frankenstein with dick jokes. The effects budget obviously ran to single figures and there's more ham on display than in a butcher's shop

A cheeseball that sometimes manages to be more insightfull and funny than most would think it is. Still, not the best from Miike, worth for a very fun performance by Tomorowo Taguchi as the crazy scientist.
