I saw this as part of the 2nd to last movie of Midnight Madness 2007 at the Toronto International Film Festival... This is such a bizarre absurdly funny movie especially the last 30 minutes of the film...
I think I was in the minority of the movie viewers since most of the people there were of Japanese or Chinese decent.. But regardless of what your culture everyone was enjoying the film. I have to wonder if the film makers ran out of money for the final battle scene.. Too funny..
Hopefully this will get picked up for domestic distribution in North America it would do well for the intended audience...
