2008 splatter film Tokyo Gore Police was the late-night feature on Joe Bob's The Last Drive-In as part of the Joe Bob's Savage Summer watch party. Viewers celebrated the film's over-the-top gore and oddball set pieces, with repeated praise for Eihi Shiina's presence and the notorious "living chair" effect. Multiple posts framed the movie as a satirical take on corporate domination of government and a rogue police force and compared its body-horror excess to directors such as David Cronenberg, Takashi Miike, Shinya Tsukamoto, Paul Verhoeven, and John Waters. Attendees paid tribute to special effects creator Yoshihiro Nishimura following his death, calling him missed and thanking him for his work. Fans noted production lore, observing the film was reportedly shot in two weeks, and some viewers argued Tokyo Gore Police is tamer than later extremes like Frankenstein Girl vs Vampire Girl. The screening closed a lively double feature for the Mutant Fam community and viewers noted only two more Savage Summer episodes remain before the series pauses until October.
