Those fun-loving Japanese never let me down. Among the myriad of fiery tortures in this film are burning at the stake, spit-roasting and not one but 2 hot iron scenes. In the first, a man removes a hot iron from a brazier of coals, demonstrates how hot it is by burning a hole in a sheet of paper, then plunges it into the chest of a tied-up woman, burning a lovely mark between her breasts. What’s impressive is that it’s a continuous shot with no breaks in between burning the paper and burning the woman, although we never actually see the iron touch her skin.
A second second scene involves a woman forced to watch her younger sister getting blinded with a hot poker over the eyes. Ouch! Some rather nasty goings-on, to be sure. Both scenes are fairly brief, however. VIDEO LINK
