Viewing Notes

Looks like Asian Crush titles have shown up on Instawatch (in addition to Amazon Video). Typically low budget affairs I figured I’d pick one off. This is the third installment in a series of films with same agency who can deliver any kind of packages to anywhere in Japan. Kenji Tanigaki provides all the action directing for these and I’m guessing this was kind of a pet project for him.

I’m probably the only person I know that would find these films enjoyable. Sex appeal is a big factor here but discarded for the central plot of new recruit Kei (gravure idol Kana Tsugihara) going on her first mission to retrieve a CD-ROM but discovers a more sinister plan. Goofy but I could watch these every day. Was not expecting the zombie virus but whatever. Had fun with it.
