Big Man Japan


This movie is by no means what American audiences would normally plop down $10 to see. This is the story of Daisato. A man with a rare gift, to protect japan from giant monsters. (Any fan of Godzilla's mouth has to be watering at thins point. ) Daisato is from a long line of " Big Men". In the everyday life they look normal but when danger calls they have electrodes clamped on their nipples and ZAP!!!! BIG MAN. Big man has been protecting Japan for many years, and the people of the rising sun have taken care of him. But as the now people don't that much of a need for Big Man. So Daisato is forced to rent of chest space for advertising. If at this point your thinking this cant get any crazier I have very happy to say . Yes It Can. As Daisato faces monster after moster he begins to wonder if it is all worth the trouble< and he must come to grips with the world that really dosen't want his help any more. This movie Stars Hetoshi Matsumoto. A japanese comedian who is known the world over for his particaption in some of the crazy Japanese games shows that can be seen on Youtube.
I found this movie to fun and well worth watching. It is slow in parts and if you don't pay attention you will miss things. Big Man Japan is in Japanese with engilsh subtitles. Run time is 1 hr and 53 minutes, and has a pg -13 rating.
