Saikyô heiki joshikôsei: Rika - zonbi hantâ vs saikyô zonbi Gurorian (2008)
Decent but not good
I respectfully disagree with the other reviewer that said that "Rika" is better than titles like Onechanbara" (2008),"Junk" (2000),"Bio Zombie" (1998),"Stacy" (2001),"Wild Zero" (2000) and "Sars Wars" (2004)...they are all different,and for the most part,far more better than Rika.
"Sars Wars" is Thai,and not Japanese,so really different in style (and BTW a great movie!);
"Bio Zombie" is Chinese,different here too (it's for the most part humorous);
And "Onechanbara","Stacy","Junk" are really better than Rika because of the fighting scenes...Rika fighting sux.
"Rika" is not a bad movie,some moments are nice,the story is not bad (except the awful ending) and it's funny sometimes, BUT the fighting are under the level of decency...really bad! And in a movie like this (action/gore) the fighting are really important! I suggest to watch all the titles i said on the top,plus "Zombie Self Defense Force" (a great one).
I agree with the other reviewer only for "The Girls Rebel Force of Competitive Swimmers" (2007),this one is REALLY worse than "Rika"...it's totally crap.
My final rating for Rika 6- out of 10
El barón contra los Demonios (2006)
I think this is going straight to "My Favourite"
Guys,i am not kidding,this movie is awesome! You like bad girls "succubus-like"? You will find here the best one i have ever seen, (and probably the hottest), Lady Pervertum! My god,i love her! You like aliens? This movie have it! You like strange technologies? like spaceships but with vapor engines? This movie have some crazy inventions you really must see! You like b-movie feeling and are you maybe,like me,in love when you see some trashy gore? And what about costumes fight? Again, this movie have it! The universe created by Ricardo Ribelles is incredible,with a mechanized-Christians cult against hordes of daemons,with aliens and only god know what else!
I fell in love with "Pervirella",another movie that mix sex,a strange feeling of corrupted futurism,and craziness,but finally after ages i have found another movie i like in the same way! "The baron against the demons".
I don't know if you will like it,because it's almost totally different from any other movies around,but i feel to recommend it to b-movie lovers and open-mind people that like strange movies! And sci-fi lovers of course.
It's an instant cult for me: 10/10.
Oneechanbara: The Movie - Vortex (2009)
Quite bad sequel. And i am a fan of the first one!
I was happy and excited to have the opportunity to put my hands on this title,because i am a real fan of the first Onechanbara movie. I am a b-movie lover and a japan trash-splatter fan...but let me explain,i am not blind,so i don't think the first episode is a masterpiece,it have some problems,but i give to the first Onechanbara a vote of 7 without any problem,but the second one is a mess!
The plot is kinda recycled from the first episode,the acting is awful (i remember some facial expression of Eri Otoguro,Aya in the first movie,and she was really nice! and all the past cast's acting was quite good,but in this one,god...i can't save anyone really!). The duels are bad too...always confused, and with a lot of stupid computer-blood on screen anytime,really annoying.
So...worst plot,worst acting,worst duels......worst sequel! Long life to the first episode,but sadly i say the second one sucked!
