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.

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.

The review finds the plot incoherent but the makeup and outrageously excessive gore effects entertaining.
