Kinky Charlie's Angels in feudal Japan

What critical standards do you apply to a movie where one of the villians is despatched by a female ninja machine gunning a stream of ping pong balls from her vagina and another has his testicles inflated to the size of basketballs and exploded? The only sensible reaction is to treat it as slapstick comedy and judge accordingly.

By that standard, this movie is a hoot. The plot is some ridiculous palaver about saving the Shogun's honor, but the action moves along at a brisk clip with a steady stream of cheesy special effects, comically over the top violence, gratuitous nudity and lashings of sex, both straight and kinky. The cast chew the scenery (and occasionally each other).

Don't take it seriously. Just laugh along.
