Director Takashi Miike's live-action adaptation of the classic seventies anime series 'Yatterman' is now available to own on HK DVD and Blu-Ray. The film is a brilliant crime-fighting explosion of candy-coloured campness, over-the-top adventure, and pure popcorn entertainment.
Synopsis
Gan-chan (Sakurai Sho) and his girlfriend Ai-chan (Fukuda Saki) are just normal teens who like to tinker away at robotic inventions - that is, when they're not out keeping the world safe from evil! Along with their do-all robotic sidekicks, the inseparable duo moonlight as the crime-fighting team Yatterman, waging battle against perennial nemesis, the Doronbo gang. Formed by sexy villainess Doronjo (Fukada Kyoko) and her lackeys Boyacky (Namase Katsuhisa, Gokusen) and Tonzra (Kobayashi Kendo, BOSS), the Doronbo trio will stop at nothing to recover the powerful wish-granting Skull Stone, but they'll have to get past Yatterman first!
