Meatball Machine Kodoku

“Tokyo is on fire.”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 65, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
A struggling man's city is sealed off and its inhabitants become grotesque fighting machines. Yoshihiro Nishimura expands the Meatball Machine idea into an enormous practical-effects carnival. The narrative is often difficult to follow, but the bodily invention is relentless and emphatically adult.
