Where we shelve this film
Japan: cult & supertrash
From Japanese monster classics to absurd genre experiments. A discovery shelf, not a quality verdict.
Utterly bananas
Wrestling squid, killer furniture and ideas that would derail any serious pitch meeting.
Camp & cult comedy
Exaggeration, bizarre ideas and a very particular sense of humour.
Kung fu, ninja & wrestling
Martial arts and wrestling meet eccentric heroes, monsters and fantastical opponents.
Our genre tags are curated classifications. These descriptions explain the shelf, not the film’s plot.
Our guide’s house opinion
SEAFOOD WITH A FIGHT CONTRACT
For anyone who does not hear “wrestling” and think “fishmonger”. We do now.
An affectionate house opinion, not an audience score or an age rating.
Screen on. Reality off.
The video provider loads only when you press play and controls availability and embedding.
Same shelf. Next strange trip.
Shared genre tags and a nearby year bring these films together. There is no hidden rating.
