| User ReviewMichael TThis comedic spoof is a farce along the lines of an American Zucker Brothers movie. Featuring "Oba-chan" from the variety show Gaki no Tsukai and the yearly batsu games, this movie i s a parody of Chinese and Japanese movie and TV tropes. It is best appreciated by those with familiarity of Asian television and cinema. Highly recommended for that specific cultural humor you just cannot find in domestic movies. |
| User ReviewAnthony AHaving bad camera work and being low budget, this film tries to go over what it can actually achieve which what makes it something not worth watching! Just because a film is low budget, doesn't mean it'll be bad, there are many directors who make low budget films good with actually making them creative, but the Terauchi's didn't achieve such a feat. |
| User ReviewGeorge NI can't take this seriously. The drawings of a 60 year old in various explicit sexual poses is just creepy! |
| User ReviewLong LA mailman finds the body of an old lady, calls the police and has to wait for their arrival. There he finds what he thinks is her will and proceeds to read about her life. So, the rest of the movie is a "flashback." Of course, there is no younger version of this woman's story. It starts and ends with her as a "grandma." She's a Shaolin master that loses her temple to a younger rival. The movie proceeds with her dealing with it and coming back to win it back. It has plenty of cheesy scenes. The acting is bad. The special effects... are there. But it's not that entertaining. And the ending, terrible. It's like they didn't know what to do, so they made up something on the spot. |
| User ReviewGoderick VI try to avoid watching this because the title and the cover is just too much to handle. I was so bored today I tried to see if it's any good... yup, I knew this is just not right. The story is serious but I can't really watch this... too phunny! |
