Comparison between the censored R-Rated US-DVD and the uncensored German DVD from I-ON (which is identical to the Unrated version)

Story (just a brief overview):
An old yakuza-boss wants to have Ozaki (formerly one of his best men) killed because he seems to be slowly losing his mind. The boss gives the job to Minami. He is supposed to dispose of Ozaki at a dump. Unfortunately, Minami is Ozaki's best friend. So naturally, he has pangs of conscience. But already on the way to the dump Ozaki dies because of a silly accident. So one could think that everything worked out, after all, until the point when Ozaki's corpse disappears in a mysterious way. Minami begins looking for him and stumbles upon all sorts of weird beings and happenings.

About the movie:
Takashi Miike, among others known for Audition, Fudoh or Ichi - The Killer, has created another very strange piece of movie history in Gozu. What starts as a yakuza-drama becomes a strange odyssey through Japan's most bizarre places (yes, there are rednecks in Nippon, too) and reminds of the movie world from a David Lynch. Only with Miike, everything is even a bit more extreme.

US version:
More than 5 minutes had to be cut out of the movie in order to get an R-Rating. But there is the alternative of an uncut Unrated version.
R-Rated version = 124:16 min.
Unrated version = 129:43 min.
