Sukeban Boy (product link) Erotica / Action/Adventure
 Fans of "Machine Girl" may be disappointed in this film. The "action" looks like it was made up on the spot. The acting is pretty embarrassing. There's no story. Yes, there's a lot of nudity, but the girls aren't attractive and they're lit poorly. Everything about this film is amateur except for the performance by Asami as the Sukeban "boy". She is genuinely funny, but even she can't save this piece of low budget drivel.
The filmmakers seemed inspired by the "girl boss" pictures of the 70's, but what they failed to remember was that those films had actual production values. Whether they had a story or not, they were always lit well, had decent sets and costumes, and committed (if not brilliant) actors. The whole vibe of "Sukeban Boy" is as if someone said "Hey, I've got a movie camera. Let's go shoot something over at the school this weekend. It'll be funny!" |
