However, there is serious trouble ahead...

Initially, Takashi Ishii had a difficult time breaking into motion pictures. Like many of his contemporaries, he wanted to make movies because he loved movies. But Takashi didn't love the requirements necessary (which included years of college and film school). In 1972, he began drawing, putting together an adult manga called Angel Guts, which was published the following year. Nikkatsu Studios hired him to write a screenplay based on his book. The movie, ANGEL GUTS, was wildly successful. It allowed him to write more entries in the series and then eventually Takashi was tapped him to direct some. He continued to write screenplays (probably best known for his EVIL DEAD TRAP) but within a few years he became a sought after filmmaker. To date, he has delivered 40+ movies and has won numerous Best Picture awards. He found International success with his incredible crime actioners GONIN 1 and 2, the female assassin BLACK ANGEL and the FLOWER AND SNAKE films. The recent cinema of Takashi Ishii continues to explore the dark extremities of S&M behavior (ie, SWEET WHIP).
