RoboGeisha: 2009's Most Insane Trailer?
Transforming Japanese schlock-bot teaser is like two fried shrimp daggers to the eye
It's lucky the Academy Awards have expanded their Best Picture Nominee category to 10 because here comes next year's first entry. RoboGeisha, Noboru Iguchi's delicate meditation on feminism in Japan, is your typical awards-baiting costume melodrama: Geisha assassins who kill adversaries with deadly swords and chainsaws sprouting from their mouths, transform into tanks, have machine-gun busts, katana-sword hips and... use shrimp tempura daggers to take out the eyes of villains. And that's just the half of it -- we can't quite describe certain other elements here, so be warned: this isn't PG-13 material.
On a side note, who is this gravelly genius doing the voice-over -- and can he be the new Don LaFontaine?
"Geisha is... robot."

on Jul 01 2009 08:21 PM Interesting. Is this the sequel to MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA? I notice they have a pleasent dance scene. A sure-fire meditation. Never has the camera captured such grace. (Reply to this) |
on Jul 01 2009 08:22 PM My goodness that's awful! The sword in the @ss or swords popping out of the @sses were just brutal. Clearly, some filmakers are just bored and decide to make something so silly, and stupid that it turns out to be entertaining so some degree. Who gave this the greenlight? (Reply to this) |

on Jul 01 2009 08:58 PM Imagine you were the writer and you are trying to pitch this movie to a studio produver: Writer: "i want to make a film where geishas get stabbed in the *** by a samurai sword" Produver: "I'm SOLD!" LOL (Reply to this) |
