Takashi Miike as a focus

My Critical research question may have been too broad before and I am now thinking about focussing it more along the lines of what do Western audiences perceive 'Asia Extreme' Cinema and how do they react to it.
Wikipedia defines Extreme cinema as:
Extreme cinema is a term typically used to describe films containing violence, gore,and sex of an extreme nature. In recent years, the term has been a popular word to describe many of the violent films coming out of Asia (particularly Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea).
Some of the more notorious "extreme" filmmakers include Takashi Miike, Park Chan Wook, Shinya Tsukamoto and Kim Ki Duk.

From this I will focus on the Films of Takashi Miike (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0586281/) as not only do i have a basic knowledge of this director but he has been the most successful of the new breed of South East Asian Directors.
Films I would use for this study may include:
Audition
Ichi The Killer
Dead Or Alive
City of Lost Souls
Sukiyaki Western Django
Gozu
Visitor Q
Books I may use include:
Outlaw Masters of Japanese Film by Christopher Desjardins
