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 'the evil one' come to take over the world. Sgt. Kabukiman must use his special superpowers to outsmart and out-fight the bad guys. Written by Josh Pasnak <chainsaw@intouch.bc.ca>

Trivia

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

Goofs

When Lotus and Kabukiman fall from the edge of the building and "fly" back up past the villains, the wires attached to their costumes hoisting them up are clearly visible. See more »

Quite, quite brilliant
5 June 2002 | by (Leeds, England) – See all my reviews

I was very surprised by this flick.

The first Troma flick I saw was Terror Firmer, which was just wall to wall sex and violence. Not that that's a bad thing.

With Kabukiman, however, the sex and gore is reduced considerably, and a lot of the humour is quite witty ("Nice dissolve, huh?"), with only a bit of gratuitous nudity(If it wasn't for the attempted rape bit this film could've got away with a 12 rating) and cartoon violence. I really enjoyed this movie, and it definitely makes my all time favourite list.
