a5c7b9f00b A streetwise New York police officer transforms into the world&#39;s most unusual superhuman hero. Harry Griswald is a NYPD cop who is possessed with the spirit of a great Kabuki master. This has made him &#39;the chosen one&#39; to do battle with &#39;the evil one&#39;. He is also out to do good deeds and fight crime in the name of the law. The only problem is that a number of corrupt people in the community and their henchmen want him dead so that they can gain power when &#39;the evil one&#39; come to take over the world. Sgt. Kabukiman must use his special superpowers to outsmart and out-fight the bad guys. It&#39;s been a while since I&#39;ve seen this film but I still remember that it is a good laugh. Really silly with poor acting but that&#39;s what Troma is all about. Like all Troma films it&#39;s the bad acting and stupid ott stories that make them so good. Okay some of them are just plain bad, but this definitely isn&#39;t one. The Kabuki costume looks amazing and I love the way Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD looks. The cartoon style humour is wonderfully done and this film really appeals to my sense of humour. It&#39;s even got a kick ass title song to go with it.<br/><br/>I was over the moon when I found out there might be a sequel coming out soon. I know sequels are rarelygoodor better than the the first film and often much worse but I really hope I get to see this sequel. It&#39;s just a shame Troma films are never shown in cinemas over here. Long live Troma.<br/><br/>A 7/10 for this film. Tempted to give it 8. Maybe I&#39;ll change my rating later on if I see the film again. This is definitely one of the best Troma movies.It actually has a plot and there&#39;s no gore at all.The first thing I should say is that you should watch this before you watch Citizen Toxie.There is at least one really funny joke that you won&#39;t get if you watch them in the wrong order.In typical Troma fashion, Kabukiman is completely different in CT and I like the latter version better.Even though this is one of the better Troma flicks, there&#39;s still a lot of stuff in it that doesn&#39;t make sense.At one point Kabukiman turns into a clown and his clown powers can&#39;t hurt the bad guys.I can buy that.Then he starts running from them and after a minute of them chasing him with cars, he jumps on one of the cars and now they are scared of him.Was that supposed to be funny?Those little bad parts don&#39;t really hurt the movie though.This is a Troma movie that non-Troma fans might enjoy.
