Which movie is the best one?
I have wanted to remake my VS video of these two movies awhile now. I wanted to try something new, and after taking a look at the original video, I felt I could add more thoughts to the video. I am not going to delete the original video since it is always fun and cringy to watch older videos.
In this video, we are going to determine which movie is the best. In the left corner, we have “Concrete” (2004). In the right corner, we have “Human Pork Chop” (2001). Ring the bell!
Most engaging story:
Well, to call it the best story feels wrong, so let’s use the term “most engaging story” instead. Here, we’ll find out which movie tells the story in the most captivating way. I know more about Junko Furuta than the woman from Hong Kong. Even if “Concrete” isn’t a high-quality movie, it provides more depth to the leader of the perpetrators than “Human Pork Chop” does. You feel more sympathy for a young girl like Junko Furuta since she’s purer than the woman in “Human Pork Chop,” who is a prostitute and a drug addict. You wish for the innocent girl to return home safely. But does she have any personality? No, she is like a blank sheet, but she feels innocent compared to the woman with the manly voice in “Human Pork Chop.” This character is portrayed in a disgusting manner, and she becomes a comedic character.
The woman in “Human Pork Chop” is a nasty piece of work. She is a comedic character; she doesn’t come across as a human character. She talks like a man, she is lazy, she is a bum, and she steals money from the nice man who gives her a place to stay. She is ungrateful, and we follow her too much in this movie. She is not someone you want to spend time with. She is the Antichrist, and trust me, you will end up hating her and laughing hard when she opens her mouth.
For those who have not watched the movie, please listen before you speak! “Human Pork Chop” is a funny movie; it is not a movie you should take seriously. And no, I did not make the movie! Yes, I sympathize with the real woman that this happened to, but the character we call a woman in “Human Pork Chop” does not feel like a human. She is a movie character! So for the morons who don’t understand that, keep your stupid mouths shut! You are killing my poor brain cells!
So, one point goes to “Concrete.”
Most likable victim:
This won’t be difficult at all. The actress who plays the protagonist in “Human Pork Chop” is a nasty piece of woman, if we can even call her that. She’s rude, and she doesn’t care about her appearance. She steals, and she has a manly voice. Even the customers find her disgusting. She is a despicable character! There is nothing likable about her! And when the movie tries to humanize her when she tells us about her plans for the future, I want to throw up. The people behind the movie should be studied because of their bad taste in human drama. This is not the right way to portray a character, even if she’s not perfect. Nobody is perfect.
Junko Furuta is pure, but she doesn’t have any personality at all. The movie doesn’t care about the victim. She is an empty, innocent vessel that is pure, and nothing more. But, even though she is poorly written and empty, this character feels like a real human compared to the joke of a woman we follow in “Human Pork Chop.”
So, another point goes to “Concrete” since you will love to hate the woman in “Human Pork Chop.”
Best villains:
This one is easy. The leader in “Human Pork Chop” is a complete psycho, and he’s more believable as a crazy psycho than the one in “Concrete.” In fact, he feels more human than the evil leader in “Concrete,” who comes across as a cold serial killer. They feel different, but the actor in “Human Pork Chop” is more convincing. There is nothing wrong with him in the beginning. He is nice to the disgusting woman who steals from him! She steals from a kind man trying to help her! So, he is sort of the victim in “Human Pork Chop,” and she pushes his buttons several times. I wanted to give the poor man a hug because she was abusing his trust. Give that man a hug, everyone. It wasn’t his fault. And before you tell me that I am crazy, I am talking about the movie character in this movie. You must learn to separate fiction and reality. I am talking about the movie!
The leader of the villains in “Concrete” is darker and crazier than the leader villain in “Human Pork Chop.” You will hate this guy. You will hate him because he is a bad seed. You will hate him because he is a loser with a bad attitude. You will hate him because he has a hot girlfriend. You will hate him because of how stupid he looks when he’s out in the streets selling junk. There is almost no trace of humanity in him, except for when he cries in the last scene. That scene is so stupid! He works as a loser villain, but the actor in “Human Pork Chop” is a better actor, and he gets robbed by a woman with a manly voice. He is the victim of being kind to a woman with a manly voice!
So, one point goes to “Human Pork Chop.”
Most brutal movie:
This shouldn’t be that hard, but it is. If we compare what happened in reality, nothing can beat what the perpetrators did to Junko Furuta. The strange thing is that “Human Pork Chop” feels even dirtier and crueler, especially considering the toilet scene. But the dog scene is also pretty sick. This scene should not have been included, but it illustrates that the villains in the movie are broken, and there is nothing human left in them. They are savages, except for the poor leader who is harassed by the crazy woman with the manly voice. There is something unique about these Hong Kong Category III movies that is hard to match. “Human Pork Chop” shows more brutality since it provides close-ups of the violence and a toilet full of feces.
In “Concrete,” we have the scene when Junko Furuta dies, and her beaten-up face will burn into your memory. You will always remember her bruised face. There are other sick scenes here too, but they don’t work, in my opinion, because the movie lacks the dirty feeling of “Human Pork Chop.”
For me, the most disturbing part is how people know that Junko Furuta is held captive, but they don’t do anything. They are cowards, and they are willing to sacrifice an innocent girl instead of themselves, who have given the world the gift of their psycho kids! Bravo!
There’s something special about gritty Hong Kong movies, so I give one point to “Human Pork Chop.”
Best actors:
This is going to be difficult since it’s the leaders of the perpetrators who get the most screen time. I would almost call it a draw, but the actor who plays the leader in “Human Pork Chop” draws the longest straw because you know he will blow up when the woman has done something wrong. He’s more believable and has more charisma than the leader in “Concrete.” Remember, he is the victim of being nice, so I was hoping he wouldn’t lose his temper. But man, the woman with the manly voice is pushing his buttons too many times. The other actors in “Human Pork Chop” are also much better than the actors in “Concrete.”
The actor who plays the leader of the villains in “Concrete” is really good at two things. He has that stupid lost loser face I want to punch hard in his stupid loser face, and he is cold. He feels like a serial killer who has lost his soul many years ago. So he works as a villain, and he has to carry the movie on his shoulders since the rest of the actors around him are trash actors.
The actress who plays the victim in “Human Pork Chop” is a much better actress than the one who plays Junko Furuta. She’s a character you will hate, and you will always remember her in a bad way. I hate her character so much. She is so nasty and fascinating to watch. And her manly voice is out of this world!
You will not remember the actress who plays Junko Furuta. She is a blank and pure sheet that blinks and utters a few words. Her character is boring as hell, and the way the actress is portraying her doesn’t help either. She is dead on the inside and outside.
So one point goes to “Human Pork Chop.”
Conclusion:
The victory goes to “Human Pork Chop” with three points, while “Concrete” got two points. Neither of these is a great movie. They have a lot in common, but neither of them should have been made. However, if you are going to pick one of these less-than-stellar movies, I recommend “Human Pork Chop.” It has that little extra because of the Category III stamp.
