Okay this isn’t a good film but it may be one of the most entertaining films I’ve watched at home this year. I haven’t laughed that much during any movie I’ve seen in the past few months. This is really the perfect B-Fest movie. In fact, I’m gonna try to convince them to schedule it. I can’t even imagine how much fun this would be with that crowd.
As a Toei co-production between Japan and US, it’s crazy how serious they approach this thing. The characters, the dialogue, the silly water cyborgs, everything is so damn goofy and yet they play it straight. It’s astonishing to witness and makes it that much more hilarious.
Great to see babyfaced Sonny Chiba. Would’ve been great to have him opposite Mifune in a period film. Or any film. I think they’d play off each other rather well like father and son or an upstart against his elder rival.
Pretty cool that Dark Sky Films released this. Didn’t realize they were picking up older titles. I’d love to see the full length Japanese version of this movie.
