I remember when I first came across this movie. One day I came back to my dorm and there was my roommate watching this. Big Man Japan. I remember thinking: “what a catchy title.” Then the strangling monster proceeded to eject a giant spear then drip white pods into the cement. I asked him to shut it off shortly after.

Now here I am two films into the hoops and spoops. Of course I had to tackle this thing and you know what it’s glorious. The everyday man who leads us through the film is great. The comedy stems from not only the ridiculous cgi but also the mundane life of our hero. The music here, when I noticed it was also superb.

Also the ending scene makes everything in life worth it. Do yourself a favor and watch this for the ending alone.
