Yatterman (Live-action Movie) (Blu-ray) (Tenkomori Blu-ray Edition) (Japan Version) Blu-ray Region A

Classic seventies anime series Yatterman flies to the silver screen in 2009 in a brilliant crime-fighting explosion of candy-colored camp, over-the-top adventure, and pure popcorn entertainment. A fan of the original series, maverick director Miike Takashi stays true to the Yatterman spirit, turning the movie into a larger-than-life live-action spectacle complete with giant robot dog, gratuitous superhero posturing, and barrels of gags and sexual innuendo. Sakurai Sho from popular boy band Arashi and Fukuda Saki from Ghost Friend don jumpsuits as the eponymous superhero duo that concoct robots by day and battle evil by night. Fukada Kyoko (Kamikaze Girls), looking stunning in her character's trademark leather body suit, joins the manic fun as the leader of the film's bumbling trio of villains. Winking to the audience from beginning to end, Yatterman throws pop idols, special effects, musical numbers, kendama duels, cartoon goofs, and robots of all persuasions into one giant whirlpool of straight-faced silliness that's bound to leave a grin on your face.

Gan-chan (Sakurai Sho) and his girlfriend Ai-chan (Fukuda Saki) are just normal teens who like to tinker away at robotic inventions - that is, when they're not out keeping the world safe from evil! Along with their do-all robotic sidekicks, the inseparable duo moonlight as the crime-fighting team Yatterman, waging battle against perennial nemesis, the Doronbo gang. Formed by sexy villainess Doronjo (Fukada Kyoko) and her lackeys Boyacky (Namase Katsuhisa, Gokusen), and Tonzra (Kobayashi Kendo, BOSS), the Doronbo trio will stop at nothing to recover the powerful wish-granting Skull Stone, but they'll have to get past Yatterman first!
