Geisha is crazy. Noboru Iguchi’s ‘Robogeisha’

Posted by Bryan White | Tuesday June 30, 2009 | News

Why is is that every week I see a trailer for a movie out of Japan that qualifies as the craziest god damn thing I’ve ever seen? They all seem to feature the name Noboru Iguchi, too. Where does he find the time? How does he keep upping the ante? Iguchi is in New York for the New York Asian Film Festival right now promoting Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl, another hilariously gory action movie featuring pretty girls soaked with stage blood. I guess he handed this trailer off to Twitch Film and they put it up on their site. You just have to see this. I can’t find the words. Geishas transform into vehicles, sprout hidden swords from their asses, stab some chick in the crotch and then gouge out a man’s eye with fried shrimp. FRIED FUCKING SHRIMP!!!

    Iguchi is a freaking genius – as is the narrator for this trailer – as is the incredibly obvious rip-off of Live And Let Die that’s looping in the background. Any film insane enough to have buildings that spurt blood is okay by me, but the robo-samurai and geisha army help.

    Yeah, the blood-spurting buildings did it for me. And the Geisha-Tank. And the use of fried shrimp as a weapon. When I die, I hope it’s by way of a robot geisha using shrimp tempura as a deadly weapon.
