Sukeban Boy

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.

Gore 1/5 Nudity 3/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 1/5

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.

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.

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.

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.
