VHS Movie Reviews of Sgt Kabukiman Nypd (Unrated) (Spanish) [VHS]
Movie Review: One of the funniest and most original comedies of the 90's
Summary: 5 Stars
If it wasn't for the horrible ending and some of the boring "Bad Guy" dialogue scenes, this would have been one of the best, if not the best movie ever made. Rick Gianasi's performance as Sgt. Harry Griswald and Sgt. Kabukiman are amazing... it's too bad he didn't go on to do that much afterward. The Kabukiman costume itself is so unique and original, that when added with the amazing character performance and hilarious super powers, it makes Sgt. Kabukiman one of the greatest superheroes ever created! I have to admit, there wasn't too many comedy elements in the movie that blew me away, but Gianasi's performance as a bumbling detective gave the entire film a cheesy 80's feel to it, that was funny enough.
The special effects were great! I love watching Harry's transformation into Sgt. Kabukiman, the visual effects are stunning. If this movie had been made in the early 80's, it would have been a special effects breakthrough... but considering it's a Troma movie... it's definitely a Troma breakthrough! Knowing the amount of restoration that was given to The Wizard of Oz, it's a shame Sgt. Kabukiman couldn't be given the same treatment. Although the picture quality is much better on the DVD than Sgt. Kabukiman, N.Y.P.D.when it's shown on G4, it still leaves a little more to be desired.
Although most of the movie's musical score is composed of variations of Madame Butterfly, the movie does have a very original 80's Rock Ballad, it's Sgt. Kabukiman's theme song, and it's amazing! (it's also available for free download on the troma website). At the end credits there's another song, by an Oriental band named "Kabuki Rocks", the song is called Onatsu Kyoran, and it's very good, so good I bought the album, Kabuki Rocks is like an Asian "Kiss" band, very awesome.
Lloyd Kaufman did a very great thing bringing Sgt. Kabukiman into this world. It's just a shame that the movie didn't have a larger budget (or didn't waste their budget on an admittedly cool car flip and explosion). It's my dream to see a remake of this movie, or a sequel. It definitely needs one. I'd love nothing more than to see Rick Gianasi reprise his role as well... I'd also like to know what happened to the guy, he seems to of just disappeared!
New York accents, sex, violence, an oriental superhero, the evil one, heat seeking chopsticks, 8-byte sushi, and as American as apple pie... Columbo with a dash of Jim Carry... all these things are Sgt. Kabukiman, an absolute must see movie!
