...it must have been

caused... by the Rubber Unit.

It has to be developed further.

The trapezius.

The deltoid.

The triceps.

The biceps.

The greater pectoral.

The rectus abdominus.

You're weird Motomiya.

Why is Hitotsubashi doing ether?

He thinks it makes you psychic.

I first developed psychic power.

I am psychic.

You're the muscle monster.

Do you like Hitotsubashi?

Yes... but he likes you.

Hello.

Your name?

- Kiku.

What is this place? Why

am I going through this?

I'm to be married soon.

I only came to do my job.

This whole thing is crazy!

I can't stand it anymore!

Let me out! Stop this nonsense!

Shimika...

We'll escape together.

You won't get away that easy.

The side effects have started.

Stay away!

I'll suck your brains out...

...and f*** your empty head.

Shimika!

He's experiencing the big shut eye now.

F*** off!

Love, love, love, love...

I'm injecting him with the

usual mix but Shimika's strong.

He comes round faster each time.

- The side effects have started.

Don't nag about trivialities.

He's only addicted to the drug.

Trivialities get out of control.

How about the sponsor?

As long as we keep Kiku hostage

they can't throw us out.

And I just finished this new

Unit and time's running out.

- That's why I'm in a hurry.

We'll blow Kiku's brains out too.

If we have proof of psychic powers...

...we're home free.

- And then what?

I don't have a clue.

Still... let's blow her brains out first.

You'll never get away with this.

The sponsor will never allow it.

Stop right now!

- Shut up you b*tch!

I hate you bitchy girls.

- You stinking bastard.

What?

- Stop it! You're hurting me!

Akari! Tie her up right now!

Shut up or youll wake Shimika!

Everything's running nicely!

Shut it off!

That's too high.

- So what?

I hate that b*tches guts!

You're out of bounds.

- I don't give a sh*t.

Don't interfere with my work.

The eyeballs have fixated!

Let's begin.

Look... they started moving again.

Mental activity can't restart that fast.

The equipment must be broken.

Not with this high grade

LCD. Stop blaming me!

Everything you touch falls

apart or starts malfunctioning!

What's happening?!

The sound has reversed!

Motomiya! Don't go near Shimika!

Why won't it switch off?

It's the wiring of the Unit.

Shimika... Shimika... Shimika...

F***! It's blowing my mind Shimika!

Rectal injection for instant effect.

The Unit was wasted on you.

You tried to steal my research!

You f***ing b*tch!

Motomiya! You're going

to kill him Shimika!

Motomiya!

So he had some psychic power after all.

Moto...

I didn't know you were a team.

What right do you have

to take what's dear to me!

Watch what you say?

Your power is just an accident.

What's that?

- I know why.

And there's more...

...kill me if you dare!

The Unit I made is what

gave you this power!

You'll get what you asked for!

You're a slave to ether!

Gimme ether!

It's the side effects.

How do you like it? Can

you stand the dizziness?

You want ether?

It's a legitimate killing...

...with your100% pure ether.

Akari!

It's been a long time

since I've had good grub.

Shimika! ...Shimika! ...Shimika!...

This is crazy!

I'm sure that was 100% pure ether.

It was enough to blow him away.

Where's the film?

What's happening?

Shimika!

You've got to see this!

Maybe you forgot after blowing your mind!

Stop hiding and watch.

This is what blew you away!

This is your ultimate masterpiece Shimika!

Dynamite Drug Diamond.

What's this about a masterpiece?

Just watch... watch!

- I only see your pathetic face.

Without the Unit you

shouldn't have any power!

Come out Shimika!

Stop it.

Her body is my catalyst. I'll

show you our alliance of faith.

The genesis...

...of kings...

...and queens.

I've gotten rid of Hilo

Subashi, Motomiya and Akari.

But no sign of Shimika and Kiku.

They have the ether and

the Unit. We must find them.

I'm not sure.

But if Shimika's memory

returns, we're in big trouble.

Yes, I fully understand.

I'll continue my search.

I must find them.

If that film comes out

into the open, I'm done for.

My eyes! They started spinning!

Kiku, I can't stand it. Gimme

the stuff to make me feel good!

You had to much. It's killing you.

- Give it to me!

If that's what you want... freak!

The Unit... quick...

I'll buy some groceries. You

can't survive on ether alone.

Kiku!

Born in 1969 by a caesarean

and kept alive in an

incubator where mind first

gained control over my body...

...and my rejected existence

turned to the world of medicine!

I stumbled upon a chemical

wizard who soothed my nerves!

Awakened to the mind blowing thrill,

I overcame hatred for the flesh.

Blowing,

exploding eyeballs fixating!

Now and hereafter are alike.

That's all there is to say!

Stop it!

- I can't control the power!

Restrain yourself!

Shimika!

Shimika... Shimika... Shimika... Shimika!

Don't abandon me.

I can't stand it. It's not fair.

All arrows...

...point to Tanizaki.

An eye for an eye.

Shozin Fukui

Shozin Fukui (福居ショウジン, Fukui Shōjin) is a Japanese film director and screenwriter. He has produced two experimental shorts (Gerorisuto, and Caterpillar) and two full-length films (964 Pinocchio, and Rubber's Lover). These four movies were widely available, having been issued on DVD by Unearthed Films. However, these releases have since gone out of print. He has released four more films since then (Onne, Den-Sen, The Hiding and 『S-94』). These are almost completely unknown outside Japan. 964 Pinocchio and Rubber's Lover are considered important, core films of the Japanese cyberpunk genre.964 Pinocchio is often compared to Shinya Tsukamoto's cyberpunk classic Tetsuo: The Iron Man; Fukui worked on the crew for Tetsuo. Many fans and critics consider Fukui's aesthetic to be sufficiently divergent from Tsukamoto's for his films to stand on their own, even considering the extremely deep similarities. more…
