Yeah, I take what I can get. The entire movie has a very dry humor feel and could have been a lot better (although most of the documentary clips interviewing him and the folks around him are pretty good) - a lot of potential if they had used some actual interesting kaiju designs (granted the ones they do use are "unique") - but there was so much room for improvement. And the end is just....out there...not unlike a few other experimental Japanese films I've seen.

If you see only one Japanese seafood-themed pro-wrestling movie this year, watch "Oh, My Zombie Mermaid." (If, however you want to see a second one, I strongly recommend "The Calamari Wrestler")

Actually, the Zombie isn't a mermaid and the mermaid isn't a zombie - although both are somewhat prominently featured. The English title is a little weird given that the Japanese title is pretty self-evident in itself - "Ah, House of Wrestling."

That said, it's a very entertaining flick featuring a bunch of actual Japanese wrestlers - with better production values in general than you'd probably expect given some of the previous clips I've posted. However, it is very, very disappointing that the final form of the mermaid (which is shown gradually transforming(!) over the course of the movie) is only seen from a distance. I guess they didn't have the money for a nice close-up of a standard mermaid body after all the weird prosthetics they used for the nasty version

Oh well - now that I've figured out how to use virtualdub properly you only have to d/l one clip instead of 6.

Still not really sure why I didn't post this clip before now...I've seen it enough times.

Anyhoo, a little general weirdness from Hideaki Anno's (Neon Genesis Evangelion) live-action feature adaptation of "Cutie Honey".

We've got some hair growth, some multiple limbs, even a little skinning, etc - and it's a little long at the end because I decided to leave in the clothing-change - such as it is.

This film has a few other bits and pieces here and there and is pretty fun overall. Just d/l some episodes of the live-action tv show as well (subbed) so I'll have to see if there's anything good there too.

BTW, you guys got lucky this time because apparently I ripped the dub track rather than the unsubbed Japanese.

If I need to tell you either of these are NSFW, you haven't been following this thread long enough.

Finally got the UK dvd of VGvsFG today. Robogeisha still isn't out on subbed DVD.

Not bad overall, general weirdness - but sadly lacking in the really *bizarre* - thinking Tokyo Gore Police transformations. Fun enough, a little crazy, but worth a couple of bucks or a rental if you have the chance. I think the US dvd will be out pretty soon. Nothing really worth ripping for this thread though.

New trailer - this one for "The Big Tits Zombie" - apparently to be shown in 3d ;p

With a budget like that, it's probably not going to have much real process in it, but it looks like fun. And featuring Sora Aoi, and others...

[thrandrall]

Ok, I've been waiting on a trailer for this one since I saw the first pics and descriptions - low budget, crazy, but definitely looks like we'll see some process. Even a bit of mechanization process in the trailer.

"Mutant Girls Squad"!

From the directors of Tokyo Gore Police and Machine Girl no less. Oh man... I can only predict fucked up scenes and about 20,000 gallons of blood, it should be entertaining.

Here's a 3 min trailer with tons of blood, gore, severed limbs and I think I saw some tentacles in there somewhere.

And before I forget, I'm pretty sure Tak Sakaguchi was one of the lead actors in "Versus" and tried his hand at directing some similar flicks since then....can't remember which though.

Thanks for the new link too.
