Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Let's be realistic.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Electric Dragon 80.000 V is a weird movie but it a weird movie in the best way possible.There is hardly any context or explanation behind the movie plot(if you can call it that) but just about 55 minutes this movie has entertain me enough to make me write a review about it.In Tokyo city Dragon Eyes Morrison a crazy violent man who love reptiles and Thunderbolt Buddha a man with a haft Buddha face duking it out in anime battle style with a lot of electricity and manga subtext out of their mouth.The whole movie shot in black and white also help it feel more experimental so i highly recommend it for cult movie fan.The mo need a sequel for real

This movie is silly, and seems rushed at times, but it was made in a week what the hell do you want? The soundtrack rocks, as the leads formed a band with the director, and did the graphics... the closing credits I think are the best I've ever seen in any movie. Phenomenal. With vague references to technology and information, it's plot is mostly just "lizard part of brain activated by electric jolt" and "2 electric enemy fight" ... crazy stoopid violence and electricity! The DIY ethos of the group pretty much seals it as a punkrock endeavor, less a cyber one. Excellent photography, acting, and tight, quick storyline... efficient, entertaining, inspirational.

Tadanobu Asano's middle name is COOL.This one's a visual treat. If you've seen Tetsuo: Iron Man, you'll be familiar with the breakneck cuts, but there's less of the "biting down on aluminum foil" effect you get from Tetsuo. Asano just flows into his character who's has one of the best morning routines I've ever seen. I don't even want to describe his scenes, but they're a hoot to watch. The black and white definitely gives the movie a more gritty, almost kinetic feel. Effects are great without overkill and there's so much style onscreen giving ED8V its unique energy. Just watch the quick dialogue flashes and you feel the adrenaline laced coaster ride.ED8V definitely flows and the movie pretty much keeps you glued throughout. Definitely rewatchable as there's a lot to pick up on that you have missed the first time.

This is an aggressive Tour de Force in the vein of the early works of Shinya Tsukamoto, while nor sharing the intense body horror of those films or the extreme stand toward sexuality. Two electrified superheros battle for domination in this short (55 min) b/w feature film by Sogo Ishii. Electric Dragon Eye who was superempowered by an accident is capable of communicating with reptiles and releases his amphetamine stridden electronic energy by playing electric guitar on the streets. He is provoked by another stud the Thunderbold Buddha that is wearing a split mask over his head. Superfast cut Comic action combined with the sound of Ishiis own band Mach.167 culminates in a furious battle on the rooftop of a japanese megalopolis. Its Cyberpunk and definitely related to digital hardcore music or Alec Empire.
