Viewing Notes
More appropriate title would be “Master of High Kick Girl” since this is really about him and he has the big final fight. I do like that Kei is an asshole but I wish she had gotten her comeuppance another way.
As much as I like the low budget simplicity a little more budget could’ve punched up the screenplay. Also sad that some of these fighters didn’t go on to do anything else. The girl who portrays Choka, the gymnastics fighter, is excellent but didn’t do any more films.
I think Sayaka Akimoto is the leader of the girl gang that Kei fights in her interview test.
