Black Sun: The Nanking Massacre, also called Men Behind the Sun 4, is a 1994 Hong Kong film directed by Mou Tun Fei and is in many ways considered to be a follow up to the 1987 shockumentary film, Men Behind the Sun. The movie depicts the events behind the Nanking Massacre committed by the Imperial Japanese army against Chinese citizens and refugees during the Second Sino-Japanese War. Like Men Behind the Sun, the film was both criticized and praised for its brutal portrayal of the Japanese atrocities, such as the notorious contest to kill 100 people using a sword, during the early and late stages of World War II, but at the same time was questioned over historical accuracy and violence which gave the film a more exploitation feel to it.

A young girl is raped by multiple soldiers onscreen, which includes her shirt being removed (very shocking to me). One of the men makes a disgusting comment about her.

Children, infants, and fetuses are graphically harmed in many ways. Some of the gore is artificial practical effects, but a significant amount is real photographs and footage.

Several atrocities are committed by the Japanese Imperial army. A baby is thrown into a pot of boiling water, a pregnant woman is beaten and bayoneted in the stomach. The soldier cuts her unborn baby out and laughs while the woman screams and grabs the umbilical cord. A young monk is forced to have sex with a woman before he is castrated. A beach is littered with hundreds of dead bodies of Chinese citizens who were gunned down. A competition is held between two high ranking soldiers to see who can decapitate the most Chinese citizens. Streets are full of dead Chinese and Japanese.
