While the start of this is promising, the final third of the film is what really lets this down. The (somewhat awful) musical numbers are what made this film awful, but amusing, and once they start to disappear towards the latter third, what is left is just a bad film. The fight sequences are not particularly inspired, however, it is nice to see girls getting in on the fighting. What stands out is the choreography for the musical numbers. While not being particularly spectacular, they are camp and so bizarre that they are the stand out features of the film. The film is based on a manga (comic book), and as such it should have had a tighter script, but may account for some of the more bizarre characters in the film. However there are no particularly stand out performances, and the greatest star for the film would be choreographer Papaya Suzuki.
