wrong in absolutely all the right ways

[trashgang · 6/10 · 13 September 2012]

From the director of Machine Girl (2008) but made earlier. still it's one to see for a few reasons. The story is way over the top and it do has Asami in it. Asami stepped out of the porn industry and is now the big thing in Japanese B-flicks.

The story starts very simple with a boy being teased by his students. Her dad has only one solution, go dressed as a girl. Simple as that but after a while this flick turns in something that you just can believe. I know that a lot of horror buffs have problems with the new way of Japanese horrors. The gore is left out but instead we get rare situations. Asami is of course the boy who turns girl as Sukeban.

First she has to attend humiliation class, but that's a thing that you wont have any trouble with. But further on she has to fight school gangs like Pantyhose Club, the No Bra Club and the Full Frontal Club. I think I won't have to explain what that means and what you will get. Towards the end it even becomes weirder with nipple clamps and machine gun (you can see where Machine Girl came from) boobs.

You love it or you hate it. Not that much blood to see but all girls do fight with their juggs naked or even use them for a fight. Weird and bizarre and one of the earlier flicks of Asami and yes, she's the only one going full naked and if you watch close you even can see things not to meant to see.

Available and easy to catch with English subs

Moderately pleasurable time-waster

[lazarillo · 16 September 2013]

From the Land of 1,000 Strange Perversions (i.e. Japan) comes this tale of a "male" gang-leader and "son" of a biker, who goes hiding out in a girls' school. This ruse works because the gang-leader is gifted with very "feminine" features--perhaps not surprisingly, since "he" is played by diminutive female Japanese porn star Asami. Of course, Asami looks nothing like a boy, nor is she any better actress than most porn stars. All this bizarre plot conceit really accomplishes is to keep Asami in her clothes most of the movie, but the other girls here more than make up for that. And fortunately somebody finally shoots up Asami's character with female hormones turning her into a "real" girl (kinda like Pinnochio--or maybe not. . .) just in time for the climactic nude karate scene!

As a Westerner it's sometimes hard to separate strange Japanese sexual perversions from strange Japanese comedy. But I'm pretty sure this movie was aiming more for comedy than sexual titillation. You do have a scene where Asami's schoolmates practice stripping out of their school uniforms while pretending to be "bashful". There are bunch of nubile girls dancing around in nothing but Sumo thongs for no apparent reason. And the colorful female gangs at the school include a gang of bald, tattooed, but of course, topless female monks; the Braless Women, a gang who (especially by Asian standards) all really, really need to wear bras; and a Kekko Kammen-esque naked female supervillain called "Full Frontal Woman", who creates a "bloodbath at every school where she shows up." Of course, mixed in with this bizarre sexploitation is a lot of not-so-erotic zaniness such as when the father's hairy biker gang also shows at the school VERY unconvincingly disguised as uniformed schoolgirls.

This movie parodies everything from gender-bender sex comedies to "Kekko Kammen"-type movies to 70's girl-gang "pinky violence" films of Toho Studios. It's very cheap and not particularly good, but it is kind of fun. Asami and her friends are not very good at karate, but they're all very cute. All in all, this is a moderately pleasurable time waster.

Mental Illness is a Curse

I like my Asian movies served up with a bit of "Tokyo Gore Police" or "Helldriver." They have this touch of seriousness about them, unlike this goofy Sukeban Boy trash I'm currently putting myself through.

A boy who thinks he's a girl takes a bath with his Elvis lookalike father and it's suggested that he attends a girls school. Is this the same school from that 70's movie "Terrifying Girls High School?" He, or she, attends the next day in his Sunday best Olive Oil uniform. And what unfolds for the next 50-minutes is plain ridiculous.

My my, how the Japanese have fallen from their uptight days of honor and family pride and stooped so low to degrade themselves to this level of embarrassment this day and age.

This "movie" has come directly from the minds of the demented and unstable.

If you can even call this a movie, it's an indie production filmed on someone's flip phone using Adobe editing equipment. I can just picture the 11 and 12 year olds at the helm of this whole presentation.

I know I lost my sense of humor when I was 4 years old, but anyone who finds this funny is a moron. It's an insult to any intelligent lifeform.

The director of this is just a filthy, voyeuristic, pervert, and if this is Japan's staple diet then they've just lost more face. (Your ancestors would be rolling in their graves, Japan.)

I'll give it one point for the Mochika character because she resembled a Mortal Kombat 2 character, only naked. Even then it's still a silly character concept.

I'm ashamed to admit that I just watched this trash. I've lost so much face that I should do the honorable Japanese thing and slice my face off with a sword as I've brought so much shame down on my family's name.

What a childish, immature, juvenile, perverse, waste of an hour.

The land of the rising sun must be full of private hebephiles in business suits, posing as honest decent folk, but are really just deviant perverts, with fetishes for people in school uniforms. Acting out some fantasy, are we, fella's?

Low Budget and Predictable but also Silly, Sexy and Entertaining

[ElijahCSkuggs · 7/10 · 14 March 2008]

I don't wanna sound like a queer or nothing, but a story revolving around a boy who literally has the face of a girl...is pretty hot. What movie am I referencing? Answer at the bottom!

Yep, the story focuses around a boy with the face of a girl...a pretty hot girl. Forced to a new school by her "loving" father, Sukeban adjusts to her new friends/enemies. Throw in a good amount of nudity from members of the itty bitty titty committee, some gore, some silly acting and even more silly ideas, you have the movie Sukekan boy. At an hour long, the movie just barely ends at the right length. Anymore and the movie would have felt much too repetitive. But with consistent goofiness and nudity the movie moves along well enough and stays pretty entertaining, that is, if you're into this type of thing.

Sukeban Boy isn't the best teen/sex comedy around, but it's definitely worth watching. It's keeps a fun tone the entire time, and for such a low budget flick it delivers more than it fails. If you like weird flicks, check this out. For a nice back-to-back, pop in Killer Pussy along with it.

Answer: Orgazmo

Westerners Beware!

[CDTrannyLez · 7/10 · 22 June 2014]

Its so laughable when you read reviews by people who refer to themselves as "Westerners" and they act so mystified and shocked by the "sexual practices" of the Far East. First lets face facts. The sexual proclivities of people in the United States are no more tame or less bizarre then anywhere else in the world. Go visit your local adult shop or an adult convention in America. You will see its just as shocking and weird if not more so. Look at the AVN awards that are held in the United States and you will see that we should not be pointing fingers at anyone's fetish or perversions.

Second, this particular movie was designed to be gory and sexual. Its a "Pink" film after all by the makers of "Machine Girl". It doesn't represent all the people of Japan. I'm sure anyone who watches "Jackass" realizes that not all Americans go around shoving matchbox cars in their backside or engage in dangerous stunts for fun.

Absolutely Brilliant!!!

[mmushrm · 9/10 · 26 February 2011]

This movie is great. I went into this without expecting much but came away very entertained.

This movie is absolutely ridiculous which is what makes it so good. Some parts are slapstick Hilarius. The fight scenes are meant to be bad but are very well shot that you appreciate the "artistry" involved. A lot of young nubile boobs thrown in as well.

The acting of the title character "Sukeban" is quite good actually. She plays the boy quite well. very good physical comedian. All the male characters are jokes...played for laughs.

I was laughing a lot through this movie, even the ending credits were ridiculous. I highly recommend.

WTF... its great

[elmaximoleader-castro · 9/10 · 7 April 2008]

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!

Great film if you like Japanese weirdness

[nobbynormalsuperstar · 10/10 · 5 September 2007]

I have just bought the DVD of Sukeban Boy and after watching it i couldn't decide if it deserved 10/10 or 1/10 so i watched it again and gave it 10. Japanese idol Asami(a girl)plays the title roll of Sukeban boy,a boy who is always getting into trouble because he has a pretty girlish face.His father(who has fallen in love with Sukeban's face)decides to send him to an all girls school disguised as a girl.Then it starts to get weird... Pantyhose and naked breast gangs,lots of half naked women,guns coming out of girls chests,lots of half naked women,guns in the stumps of amputated legs,bad martial arts and almost lesbian love(almost lesbian love because Sukeban is a boy,well at least he is at the start of the film). Okay,so i nearly confused myself there.If you like insane Japanese movies then be sure to get a copy of this one.I did and i'm rather normal.

A look into the future of Japanese "trash" excellence

[holger444 · 8/10 · 20 July 2018]

I loved this movie! The story is full of surprises and idiosyncracies, the images wild, the moral feminist (if I can say so as a man) and still sexy (if I am allowed to say so as a man). This movie seems to my knowledge to be the root of all the future nasties like "Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl", "Machine Girl", "Gothic and Psycho Lolita", "Zombie Ass" and may also brought some inspiration for some of Sono's and Miike's films. Yes, boobs are allowed in this movie. No frontal nudity though. I hate Amazon who is the owner of IMDB, but I couldn't help but to revive my account for writing something nice about this good movie. So, how can a movie with boobs be feminist? First, because boobs are feminist. Second, because a boy/girl finds her/his way in adolescence without compromising to social standards. Third, because men are really ridiculous idiots in this movie. Fourth, because women and men change their roles here (apart from point four, which is decidedly dedicated to men exclusively). Fifth, because love tells me.
