The coolest troma hero
27 June 2019
Fun and delirious movie of Troma where parodies the superhero movies embodied in the figure of the charismatic and unique Sergeant Kabukiman.

The film is not as gore as others of Troma since there were disagreements about the approach of the film between Herz and Kaufman between making a film suitable for children or a more beast and wild film in the style of Toxic Avenger. In the end there was no agreement and there was a film halfway through everything, without enough violence, blood and shake to please the more lovers of the rough style of Troma.

This is due to the fact that the actor who plays kabukiman, Rick Gianasi, tried to go charac- terized as the character in the parks and squares of New York, and the result was that all the children approached him fascinated and enthusiastic towards him. The producers decided to make a film suitable for all pu'vlicos.

The film is entertaining and has its good moments of humor, the persecution of the hero dressed as a clown and the fight in the park for example, but it lacks bad temper, more ingenious and scathing dialogues, and a more interesting villain.

But it does not mean that we are in front of a forgotten jewel of Troma, films like this make us realize how serious and boring the current cinema of superheroes has become with the hrefels that current directors infuse to adaptations, here they simply take all to messing about so that the spectator laughs and forget about the dreads and nonsense that we see in so many current productions of Marvel, DC, or whatever ...

Kabukiman is what it is, no more or less than an ode to the joke and good vibes and that already makes it charming and estimable.

And by the way, incomprehensible that an anime of this character has not been made, charisma and possibilities are not lacking.
