	This was actually on YouTube in its entirety for a while but has recently been taken down. It’s a pretty bizarre film, although it’s not as manic as the trailer would suggest–a lot of it is dryly humorous mockmentary footage of the Big Man’s alter ego. The ending is a real hoot for fans of the Japanese giant monster/ultra-hero genre.

	The best words for this is: “What the cha?”
02/27/09 9:57am	Dave K says:
	That looks like just the right kind of bad.

	Don’t forget his great, and unassuming secret identity…- Mt. Fuji! -that’s no snow on top- IT’S DANDRUFF!

	Someone tell them to paint those weights and check those arcs! Pretty rough is all I can say.
02/27/09 11:43am	Elliot Cowan says:
	Yes. I have seen this too and the trailer is somewhat misleading. While entertaining, most of the monster silliness is all at the end.

	I wonder why it gets an R. I tend to figure that Asian action films get their ratings moved up a notch based on MPAA racism. I have a kaiju loving nine year-old who would keel over with joy to see something like this.

	I saw this at SIGGRAPH and laughed my ass off. I’m so glad to see this coming out for English speaking audiences! Wait, no. It’s probably a lot funnier NOT knowing what the hell is going on.

	Life’s too short.
02/27/09 3:43pm	Aaron H. Bynum says:
	This is awesome.
02/27/09 7:06pm	Steve Segal says:
	Fun stuff, A bit of Zelig, and Hancock with a Monsters vs. Aliens climax.
02/27/09 11:28pm	Spike says:
	I don’t think it’s MPAA racism so much as the fact that one of the monsters has an eyeball on the end of its penis.
02/28/09 12:27am	Dax says:
	Looks awesome. I wish the characters in more super hero movies looked this fun. I especially like the guy at 1:16 with the Frank Finkerton styled combover.

	Who doesn’t love giant monsters? I’m in!

	What band is playing in the trailer?
