I am so looking forward to seeing this kick ass Japanese movie starring 17 year old karate champion Rina Takeda. It might be low budget but I just don’t care. I’m all for a cute schoolgirl beating the crap out of some people and boy, does she get some height on some of those kicks! I don’t even know when the movie’s being released.
I’m not sure if it’s going to upstage the Thai martial arts/actioner Chocolate which I watched last year. It’s gonna take something to best Jeeja Yanin, she was just awesome in that movie. Have a look at the trailer for High Kick Girl below:
EDIT: For those that are planning to watch this movie specifically for the sight of AKB48 member Sayaka are going to be disappointed with her role. It’s a blink or you’ll miss it cameo in a fight with the main character. Was it worth her time and effort to even bother turning up for the role? I don’t think so but perhaps she had more scenes that were sadly cut out of the movie. The movie itself is rather good though the annoying slo-mo replay of the fights get tiresome after a while.
IXA Ready - Fist On!
