1. i don't recall the cannabalism in the film. when did that occur?
I dont think there is.... although issei sagawa, who plays tanaka in the film is in real life a convivted killer who partialy ate his victim.

2. there's an amputation too? don't remember that either.
Ditto

3. the ladies went to the sleeping room willingly, right?
Yeah. I guess this is what a lot of people have a problem with when watching the film.

4. they showed some man fallen on the ground from a high window. was that the prior incident about a father or someone that was killed in some building? the two ladies discussed this on top of a building. who was that man?
I think it has echoes of the conversation earlier, deffinitely. The continuity of the suicide scene is pretty discombobulated, due to the Halucion overdose, i supose

5. was there a camera behind the bathroom mirror?
Theres camera's everywhere in Sato's films! I think it mainly enhances the feeling of paranoia

6. boy, wouldn't the vid cameras these days be really useful back then! now they are so tiny
Deffo. Gotta love those clunky old cameras

7. was that a gas mask the one stranger/lover wore while making love with it to the lady? or was there a camera in there?
i presume so. I dont remeber a camera

8. whats with opening the empty refrigerator door?
see question 5

9. have you ever done the ice pick and pick between the fingers like they did in the film? i've seen that in other movies, too.
it is a pretty common game, a drinking game played by bored saliors mainly, a bit of a pussy version of russian roulette i suppose
