Viewing Notes

Was glad to revisit this one for my Tak Sakaguchi project. Only saw the one time Fantastic Fest when I met Tak the first time. Really wish I had spent more time with him between movies.

This is a very silly yet entertaining spoof on both yakuza films and science fiction. Tak is so good and charismatic.
