WTF... its great

Warning: Spoilers
First about the SPOILERS warning: Some trash-movies are so unbelievable predictable, that no one could write a comment without telling 99 point nine percent of their story. That can be the case with this movie..

If i would tell you Sukeban Boy is some strange Manga adaption (of a comic i've never read), realized with living & real actors (though you might think puppets could act better) containing & dealing with some school girls in some strange clubs (which again base on girls being naked, when not stripping - though while fighting) and some sick gore-stuff... AND some really cheap martial arts.

That could/would be a SPOILER.

...if you're a fan of mangas with a cheap story. Well, its a cheap movie...

Except you're a real movie fan. Disregarding any taste.

Read on..

If you can accept a little bit of B-Movie, some faked blood, and a lot of soft-porn-like content you will love this movie. Its a compilation of the most aesthetic (ultra-)soft-porn, the most un- aesthetic martial arts you have (and may ever) see(n) (again) PLUS the most child-friendly gore-style scenes EVER.

The gore/splatter: Its not like some "Sweeney Todd"-fake-blood-with-singing.. no, its like some have-fun-with-fake-blood-on-nickelodeon. It features flesh-like guns coming out of nipples, the "Planet Terror"-leg-gun (actually 20 guns from a 99 ct Store), an axe-murderer with an axe more blunt than the dwarven axe from "Dungeons & Dragons" & without a murder, a "Alien"/"Men in Black"-Roach/"Power Rangers" Costume AND a Marx-Brothers smear-with-blood scene.

The porn: mainly tits... a lot of them... nothing more, but a lot... the whole time... every girl gets naked (naked as the day they were born, but mostly just showing their tits).. AND every guy shows his tits..

The martial-arts: quite a lot of them appear in the movie. They DO NOT move the plot any further. But they are there. And somehow they seem to make sense.. its not like the movie hasn't a plot.. but somehow, i don't know why, it seems to base on martial arts - WITHOUT a plot being related to the martial-arts-scenes. And they are bad. There isn't ANY choreography. not a bit, not an ounce - nothing

The main point is: taking these features altogether, its no Kubrick - but its worth trying. And it has very artistic sides, like: a Ballhaus slide around some naked butts, a short faked slow motion, about two or three final martial-arts moves, that are farts, kicks to the head, that are pasted in... NO not "Adobe-Premiere"-style, more like MS PAINT on Windows 3.1.1 in better resolution, and manga-like waiting-for-some-action scenes (like most of the famous "Dragonball" Episodes in the TV-series)

The conclusion of this comment: its the BEST of most B-movies mixed together in a nonrecurring cocktail of Japanese manga-movie, B-splatter-movie, very-soft-porn and extreme-cheap-made-martial-arts-without-choreography. See it or leave it - its original, its sick, its great - but its ART!
