Viewing Notes
Caught this one on the Hi-Yah! broadcast channel, a full-on action fantasy + romance flick that feels more like the second episode of the tv series or a part two of a larger epic movie. So much happens I honestly didn’t think they’d wrap it up in under 70 minutes. But as noted, they drop the viewer into this story and it’s confusing as all heck so it took a third of the runtime to get my bearings and a handle on what was happening. The description here via TMDb is also used in other places but doesn’t convey what this movie is about. Maybe it describes the missing first part?
This story features a hero who falls in love with a prostitute then finds himself in the middle of battle for power between two masters and a magic gem that grants ultimate power. Big fantasy stuff and lots of fighting that looks right out of a JRPG. It’s all fine for this kind of thing but I wish we got that first part that table set this movie.
What’s really strange is that the end credits show BTS footage and some of it wasn’t even in this movie so that’s why I feel like there’s either a part one or a longer cut of this movie. Also this movie ends with scene that clearly sets up another movie, which is another reason I felt this was like an episode of a tv show.
