I have this on Aussie VHS and I really don't need to upgrade. lol. It may be a good film but it's just not entertaining in anyway, to me at least. But cool to see all this stuff getting awesome bluray releases these days.

Great news! I was watching Godfrey Ho's MEN BEHIND THE SUN 3 the other day and thinking "this is garbage, but I wouldn't mind seeing the original in pristine quality". It'll be good to see it with the original soundtrack as well - the rare NZ VHS release was English dubbed and missing the infamous cat scene.

Never seen this, but heard about it for years. Sounds like a once watch only, a bit like Salo, but even nastier.

I don't know if I could watch the cat scene again. It's disgusting.

In more recent interviews Mou claimed the cat scene was faked and the cat was fine. Not having seen it myself I can't say whether or not I think he's telling the truth.

Pretty much yeah, imo.

The cat sure looked like it was getting eaten alive by rats; if it wasn't real then the FX were incredible. I'm not sure how they would've pulled it off. Regardless, the scene is disgusting.

I would call bullshit on this. The cat definitely looks like it's in its death throes.

The scene comes not long after the use of real footage of an autopsy on a child, which is equally difficult to watch.

I didn't think Mou would be the type to try and backpedal on his earlier choices, but I guess if I killed an animal on film I'd probably lie about it as well.

Sounds like a once watch only, a bit like Salo, but even nastier.

As someone who's seen Salo at least half a dozen times, I can confidently say that I'll never see Men Behind the Sun more than twice. So yeah, pretty much.

Would rats ever, under any circumstances, gang up and attack a cat? It seems against their nature. The "blood" smeared on the cat is definitely fake, I think we can agree.

Yeah that shit looked fake.
