Trivia

No one was interested in showing the film in the US until around 1996, around when Tromeo and Juliet (1996) was released. This caused confusion as to which movie borrowed the car crash. See more »

Holy flying chopsticks!
1 September 2013 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

In 1984, Lloyd Kaufman introduced us to a different kind of superhero. Whereas most still look human, Toxie started as one and became a mutant thanks to a bath in some toxic waste. The film and character didn't catch on with the mainstream the way Batman and Superman have, but so what? A question many fans may have been asking was, "Is that all you've got?" Fast forward 6 years later and enter a film with a superhero even more bizarre. The film that surrounds him isn't too bad either.

Pros: Lively performances. Fun score and main title theme. Some nicely done practical effects. Tongue in cheek attitude. Quick paced for most of the running time. Inventiveness up the wazoo, starting with the superhero himself. Nice production design.

Cons: Some poor editing. Runs on a few minutes too long. Dated visual effects.

Final thoughts: For such a troubled production, 'Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D.' turned out to be one fun flick. Troma has made better ones, but this one is nowhere near the bottom of the heap. It's zany enough to please fans of classics like 'The Toxic Avenger.' How could one not enjoy a movie with flying Japanese footwear, a guy buried in wasabi mustard and a monkey wearing a suit and top hat?

My rating: 3.5/5
