Wicked City

1992 Japanese sci-fi romance

Rating: 4/20

Plot: I have no idea. There's some kind of war between monsters and people, and there's a Romeo/Juliet type relationship between a female monster and a member of the anti-monster squad. Tentacles and trippiness. There's a liquid monster and a woman who can turn into an elevator and a motorcycle and a man/monster who seems to be making love to a pinball machine. The monsters are trying to get everybody addicted to a drug called Happiness, and the world is blue tinted.

This was a really painful movie-watching experience. Wall-to-wall special effects mayhem, unhinged and bizarre. Obviously, this is the product of a disturbed mind. Either that or direct from the mind of an autistic child. I couldn't stop wondering if I was watching an episode of the Power Rangers or something slightly worse and more obnoxious than the Power Rangers. This movie was so ugly and loud. It was also 90 minutes of a pattern--bizarre action sequence that doesn't make sense followed by dialogue that supposedly explains the plot but that actually doesn't make sense followed by another bizarre action sequence that doesn't make sense followed by more dialogue that supposedly explains the plot but that actually doesn't make sense, etc. I would like to meet somebody who likes this movie just so I can rip off one of their nipples. It should also be noted that this movie made my dog extremely uncomfortable. Based on a comic book that should probably be burned.

Here I am enjoying Wicked City:
