I'm not sure if the Hungarian coat of arms means much. It looks Yakuza-ry to me, and the coat of arms could have zero to do with the film in question.

That very true or maybe Yakuza or more Miike and a Hungarian film. Or im just taking the picture too literal.

I didn't notice the coat of arms in the tattoo before. I don't think there are any Hungarian yakuza films either.

Miike's Gozu has been suggested, which would be awesome as it's my favourite Miike film, however the black and white kind of nulls that idea a bit - unless of course Arrow have deliberately monochromed the image to throw people off the scent.

Another possibilty that has been voiced is is Seijun Suzuki's Tattooed Life.

I have been enjoying these Yakuza crime curios that Arrow has been pumping out so am looking forward to finding out what this one is.

If only!

Tattoos don't always mean Yakuza. After all Anarchy Parlor which i watched at weekend was about a guy with full body tattoos working in Eastern Europe.

Would be nice if it was Blue Tiger.

I'm guessing Arrow (at that point still just a growing distributor competing with Tartan and Hong Kong Legends/Premier Asia) just got lucky with Caligula but Bare Behind Bars was still a BBFC no-no. Nowadays, I'm not sure Arrow would be all that keen releasing a heavily censored film.

Exactly, plus Ichi would probably still be cut for what would almost certainly be considered sexual violence.

What? It's definitely the Hungarian coat of arms.

Although, I wouldn't be surprised if they just googled tattoo's and the one they chose isn't actually featured in the film.
