You only have the ability to purchase ONE movie ever again and want bang for the buck?

BAM! This movie is at least 5 different movies.

 

 

So, a young man named Yu is coming to terms with his mothers death, he loses his religion and his father is a Catholic Priest, theres a lot of tension, so what does he do? He sets off in the world to become the worlds best up-skirt photographer...honing his craft into a ninja like art he gains followers of perverts who wish to learn his ways, During an outing while crossdressing as a popular female criminal he meets the love of his life and has to save her from a gang, which gets Yu his first boner (oh yeah, he has never had one before, despite being a pornographer). But she only falls for him because she thinks he was a woman, how can he get her to love the real him despite his inability to control his penis around her, especially now a vicious rival has fallen for him and vows to destroy her? Especially now that his relationship with his father is falling apart even more now that a young pushy woman has started making moves on him and causing him to start to waver in his morals and causing conflict as a priest. Plus Yu has to manage his growing pornography business which uses trappings of Catholic services and confessionals to the delight of crowds of perverts. Anyway theres an evil cult, did I mention the evil cult? So the evil cult eventually converts his girlfriend and he has to unbrainwash her, saving her he now has to don his crossdressing criminal persona and use his ninja skills to fight his way through the cult with a sword to rescue his family, but now hes insane and needs to be rescued himself from the mental institution by his girlfriend and the gang of perverts and this movie is 4 god damn hours long.

I remember seeing the trailer for this when it first came out and my reaction was basically "fucking whhhhhhaaaaaaaaat?" Japan comes out with gratuitously insane movies all the time, but that country's film industry STILL manages to surprise me sometimes. I've never seen this particular bit of madness, but I think with the volume of craziness that comes out of that wonderfully befuddling country, it might be time for HDTGM to cover at least something from there.

 

But four hours? Shit, that's enough for three podcasts.

I remember reading about this and thought someone was trolling tvtropes.
