      Before the naked wife gets thrown out the window, it is plain glass. However in a close up of her getting launched out the window, it's now a colonial window. In another shot, the window's back to being a plain one again.

    Quite, quite brilliant
    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.
