One of the greatest game concepts ever is getting the movie treatment. This could possibly become the best videogame based movie ever made, which may or may not be saying much. Regardless, how can a movie about zombies and hot half naked Japanese women not be oh so full of win?
Like Dale North, I to will be looking forward to the Oneechanbara movie. It looks to keep the over the top moves and powers from the game and the cheesy factor is through the roof. I've also been on a giant Zombie obsession lately and this looks to help satisfy my endless hunger.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

That trailer, to me, looks like crap. I agree with the cheesy factor going through the roof. I guess they should've stuck to making the movie cg animation, but I can understand if the budget was not capable of it.
if those chicks don't get naked in this movie it will be such a waste. Nothing is worse than wasted potential and these chicks have the potential to be in a movie worth a damn if they take all their clothes off and touch each other, after and this is the key part. After they kill the zombies!
Looks like it was shot with a handi-cam :) Dead or Alive sucked hard and that at least had a decent production. Some of these Japanese action films need to shape up before South Korea and China run them out of business.
Enough of this, give me Casshern 2!
Why is it that horrible special effects in low-budget movies always receive the most screen time? I mean, there are shots that should be only a few seconds long, yet are extended to nearly 10 (and in a trailer - for shame) solely to exhibit a few really, really amateurish special effects. Bravo.
I was really planning on getting this for how bad the storyline and action would have to be, but I don't see myself being able to watch this, as the execution of the special effects is certainly going to disgust me.
By the way, has anyone here ever seen a porno called Pirates? Awesome special effects. It had a million-dollar special effects budget. It also had some priceless dialogue...
"One night I dreamt that my cock was a giant, tri-masted Spanish galleon."
Lucas did not invent the lightsaber/energy sword.This movie looks made for TV.If they added more gore it and a gruff voice over it would be a cool Grindhouse like experience.Too bad none of the games reached the USA.
This looks amazing. Between this and "Poultrygeist" I have enough super cheesy zombie movies to satisfy me.
Now somebody make a serious GOOD one (hasn't happened since 28 Days Later or Shaun of the Dead...)
Zombie fix suggestions:
The Walking Dead (Graphic Novels; super amazing)
Marvel Zombies (graphic novel)
World War Z (book; by Max Brooks of 'zombie survival guide' fame)
Monster Island (book)

It sounds like the most brilliant idea ever for a movie...
Zombies => check
Action => check
Humor => prolly
Sex => check
Asian Women => check
its like all my favourites rolled into one :-)
Half the reason cause of the asian chicks, the other half a combination of zombies and it being a movie.
nay!
The best movie ever made!
NAY!
The best anything ever made, for sure.
Everything in that movie (apart from the two hot girls) is a fucking joke.
Enough of this, give me Casshern 2!
Bad news, Hamza. Only brains can satisfy that hunger.

Plus, they pretty much have a lightsaber... Anyone think Lucas will sue?
And it looks like shit, but thats mainly the hot chick vs other people part, the zombies blowing up look awesome.
Hot Japanese chicks, probably with plenty of panty and upskirt shots, I'm there even if it is extremely cheesy.
