Emergency: Living Dead in Tokyo Bay
[a.k.a.
Battle Girl]
Dir: Kazuo Komizu
Star: Cuty Suzuki, Kenzi Ohtsuki, Itou Binpachi, Shimomoto Shirou
A Japanese take on the
zombie pantheon, specifically Day of the Dead, with the military
trying to turn reanimated corpses to their own nefarious aims. Of
course, this being Japan, there's a girl in a cool armoured suit
standing between them and success - in this case, the girl is played
by pro wrestler Suzuki [other monsters are also played by wrestlers Devil Masami, Kandori Shinobu and Eagle Sawai]. It's clearly a low budget production, yet the director clearly has some talent, and the joins aren't too visible. Nothing special or really excessive, but an interesting angle on an old idea.
