Her mission: to identify and eliminate suspected terrorists. Her only lead is an underground website with an ominous timer counting down the minutes.

Member Endsang Posted July 28, 2008 Member Share Posted July 28, 2008 I don't know, but I hope it isn't a very serious movie. That would make it instantly dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Grady-San Posted July 28, 2008 Member Share Posted July 28, 2008 Is this a renamed title of the Sukeban Deka series? The whole description sounds like it is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jetlichan Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Saw it. Its an ok movie. Was disapointed in the action. The fight sequences were so amateur looking that i almost stop watching. What saves the movie is how beautiful both female leads are. The lead Aya Matsuura is beautiful and her enemy in the movie is equally as beautiful. The movie could have been much better is the fight sequences were more decently shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the recent movie reboot of the series, directed by Kenta "not as talented as his father" Fukasaku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Bus Posted July 29, 2008 Member Share Posted July 29, 2008 yea the movie is very average and you can tell it was adapted from a series because all the events and action are jumbled together without much plot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Neon Samurai Posted July 4, 2010 Member Share Posted July 4, 2010 Saw it. Its an ok movie. Was disapointed in the action.

The lead Aya Matsuura is beautiful and her enemy in the movie is equally as beautiful. The movie could have been much better is the fight sequences were more decently shot. That's forgivable when you consider how cheezy and amateur the original Sukeban Deka tv show and movies were. (Yuki Saito, the original Sukeban Deka appears in this movie which I thought was a nice touch.) SD was always Japan's Dr. Who in the sense that if you can't finance the entire series with your credit card, it aint Sukeban Deka.

Member Takuma Posted November 30, 2010 Member Share Posted November 30, 2010 I have to say I found this film quite... terrible. It's a passable one time view if you can get enough entertainment out of Aya Matsuura's god awful performance. And, well, to be honest it's got a couple of other points of interest, too. - Hiroyuki Nagato. Against all expectations Nagato is not dead and buried but back and as charismatic as ever (natural talent, all his scenes are actually badly made). - The original yo-yo. Look carefully, the original yo-yo Yuki Saito used in the first TV show is on Riki Takeuchi's table. Beats the hell out of that ugly new disco yo-yo Aya is using. - Takeuchi's teddy bear performance isn't too bad... in this company. - And also... actually, that was all. Saito was really wasted in the film. She looks just... old. And lead villain Shunsuke Kubozuka... now, this guy is the original Shaolin Wooden Man! His acting didn't bother me in the live action Saishu heiki kanojo (She, the Ultimate Weapon, or something) but I suppose that was because I was too captivated by angel Aki Maeda and Otaru. And CGI yo-yo battle... Come on! Give me back Yui Asaka's real yo-yo combo attacks or Nanno's double yo-yo (even if they usually missed the target by a mile). These new girls can't even sing. And what was the bad girl band called? (I mean a bunch of the supporting stars played in a band in real life at the time). v-u-den? Where are my Onyanko's??!! (right, they disbanded two decades ago but hey, that doesn't stop me from complaining). That was a nice rant Hmmm... I wonder if I still have that Aya Matsuura foot massage video somewhere. Man, that one's so great. She's done something good, too, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member JimPV Posted February 26, 2011 Member Share Posted February 26, 2011 Got the '88 version of this from Netflix and it went in one eye and out the other; i.e., don't remember much about it. Actually, I do remember something about it: I didn't like it very much. I may safely throw off this mortal coil without ever seeing the 2006 reboot...
