Rating: 5 stars
Summary: insane Japanese comedy
Review: When I first saw the cover of this DVD, I thought it was a cheesy Ultraman-type action show, but it's actually a satire of sports shows (I think). Structured like a sports highlights show, three commentators (including a dorky-looking dinosaur named Dino Kang Jr., who looks like Barney's mentally-challenged brother and who makes screechy Godzilla noises) discuss wrestling matches and show highlights involving wrestlers in giant foam costumes. Matches include a soup can vs. a sandwich and a dust bunny vs. a fly. After Dino Kang gets his arm ripped off in a match, there's a commercial for dinosaur luncheon meat, in which a monster goes into a convenience store, buys an armload of this stuff, then headbutts the clerk. Near the end, a singer who looks like a Princess Leia/Sailor Moon hybrid sings a love song to a giant silver potato who breakdances and moves furniture and gets beaten up by street punks.

Among the other highlights are a video by the band Piebald, wrestler bios, and AIRPLANE-like end credits. Truly bizarre in a way that only Japanese humor can be. A must for your next dorm party, as it's sure to become a cult favorite.
