(Just look at what happened when Miike made an installment of Showtime's Masters of Horror series--it was deemed too crazy for broadcast.) Alas, the results are a letdown. First up, "Dumplings," is from Hong Kong's Fruit Chan, and it's the most cogent (and ickiest) of the bunch. Bai Ling plays a specialist in preparing dumplings that promise to restore youth and health for her customers; the weird part is she also runs a particular clinic on her premises. Ugh. The Korean offering from Park Chan-wook is "Cut," a warp on filmmaking about a self-centered director who gets trapped at his home (or is it the set of his new movie?) by a deranged former extra. The sadistic machinations here make Hannibal Lecter look reasonable, and the segment gets points for weirdness, but Park's take on revenge fantasies is much more exciting in Oldboy and Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. Miike represents Japan with "Box," which really is in the spirit of an old Outer Limits episode, complete with a "gotcha" ending that doesn't seem worth the trouble. Sure, twins are always a good topic for horror, but this segment is a long way to travel for not much. All three segments look good--there's little hint of the grindhouse cheapie here--but overall it's a disappointment. --Robert Horton Review: Very Beautiful - These pieces are simply beautiful and unique. The acting is wonderful. I love foreign films and I am really glad I didn't pass on this. Of course there is a bit of horror, but it is all very well done. Review: A refreshing take on horror - Much of modern horror does not explore terror in as visceral ways as "Three Extremes". Each scenario illustrated unique types of madness that very much exist in our lives, turned up to extremes. This is what makes the otherwise phantasmal scenarios feel real; because the symptoms very much are. If you're looking for narrative-driven horror, free of cheap scares, well-shot, and gripping until the very end, you won't be disappointed. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000CRR3ME | | Aspect Ratio | 1.78:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #108,486 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #4,048 in Horror (Movies & TV) #5,510 in Mystery & Thrillers (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (255) | | Director | Fruit Chan | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | Relay Time: 125 min | | MPAA rating | R (Restricted) | | Media Format | Closed-captioned, Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Special Edition, Subtitled | | Number of discs | 2 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 0.01 ounces | | Release date | February 28, 2006 | | Run time | 2 hours and 9 minutes | | Studio | Liosngate Pictures Entertainment | | Subtitles: | English, Spanish | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Fruit Chan - **Format:** Closed-captioned, Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Special Edition, Subtitled - **Genre:** Horror - **Initial release date:** 2004-01-01 - **Language:** Japanese, Korean ## Images ![Three...Extremes - DVD - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41R9TjPcD-L.jpg) ![Three...Extremes - DVD - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91pJ7pjKkgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Beautiful *by M***N on November 12, 2020* These pieces are simply beautiful and unique.

It contains 3 Extreme Tales, that encompass the brunt of what Asia has to offer. For those interested in creepy gross-out fests; Fruit Chan's "Dumplings" will deliver. For those interested in tales of vengeance; Chan Wook-Park's "Cut" will leave you in pieces. And for those seeking a ghost story; Takashi Miike's "The Box" will haunt you. I personally ordered this flick twice from Amazon; - once for myself - and once for a friend of mine who also loves Eastern Horror To both my suprise and delight, this is a 2-disc set The second disc containing the full version of "Dumplings", which quite honestly, is worth the purchase alone. Anyways ... on to the movies: Fruit Chan's "Dumplings" is easily the most extreme of the 3. It tells the tale of a woman, whose Home-made Dumplings can restore the youth of anyone who can afford them. Subsequently, she also runs a clinic out of the back of her shop, where she aquires her youthful ingredients. Needless to say: This one is not for The Feint of Heart or Weak of Stomach. Chan Wook Park's "Cut" is the most intense of of the 3 Extremes. More than once it had me on the edge of my futon. Another tale of of retribution, from the man who masters in the subject. This tale concerns a POMPOUS director, who is kidnapped by a demented extra he once employed. Tied up with a giant rubber-band, that allows for minimum movement, he must make the most dire decision of his life. Is he willing to take the life of a little girl to save his wifes? Takashi Miike's "The Box" is the most artistic of the 3, yet sadly, it's the least extreme. For those who know his work, you will be thoroughly disappointed. For those who don't know his work (good for you, you may enjoy this) he is the most extreme of the extreme. So Extreme "Showtime" wouldn't air his episode of "Masters of Horror" due to graphic content. (Interesting Side Note: "Showtime does however play "Ichi the Killer" & "Gozu" - Go Figure) Anyway he's a cult favorite in both America and his native Japan. The guy practically screams "extreme" from hemisphere to hemisphere, so naturally, he seemed like a shoe-in for this project. Regretfully though, his installment is totally not "Miike" But since you don't know of his work, it should be fine. Whatever the case may be.... This ghost tale revolves around 2 Sisters (Sound Familiar?) Both of whom fall in love with their dance instructor. The one sister becomes jealous when she finds the other is intimately involved with the trainer, so naturally she locks her sister in a box to keep her safe. (Sounds Rational) - Loads of artsy atmosphere, gorgeous settings, and enough chills to keep you on ice; but ulimately none of that could save me from the impending confusion, and dare-I-say, boredom that ensued. - Maybe if you've never seen a "Miike" film before you'll enjoy this one, or maybe if you still like "Ringu" you'll get a kick out of it. But for me.......... when I order Wheat, I don't want rye.(If you catch my drift) MORAL OF THE STORY: Youth has its price Fame has its price Love has its price These are the 3 Extremes --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/15140144-three-extremes-dvd](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/15140144-three-extremes-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
