Electric Dragon 80,000 V (product link) Action/Adventure / Science Fiction I first saw this film as a poor quality VHS copy, and in spite of that I was still blown away by it. This is one of those movies that you have to watch loud. I mean loud as in your neighbors down the street should be sharing in the experience. DVDs were falling off the shelves when I watched it, and it still could have used more volume! Since then I've seen it on the big screen (New York - Tokyo Film Festival, where it was not quite loud enough) and of course purchased the DVD.
The running time is a bit short at under one hour, but the storytelling is effective. I would have been happier if it was longer, but that was because I enjoyed it so much I wanted more. If you like noise, Tadanobu Asano, or early Sogo Ishii films like "Crazy Thunder Road", this is a must-have.
Wild Zero (product link) Horror / Thriller If you like zombies, Guitar Wolf, low budget films, and serious liver damage, this is one of the finest films ever! I must admit, sometimes the pacing is a little off, but that does little to diminish the thrill of seeing Guitar Wolf fighting zombies. This is a delightful B-movie with a positive message about love (and rock and roll) knowing no boundaries. Get some tasty beverages, get a few friends over and turn your brain off and have some fun.
Hell, I liked the movie so much that I came up with the drinking game. I still am amazed at what a great job the guys as Synapse did adding it to the DVD. If you don't enjoy this movie, you must not be drinking.
