Isn't it ironic that the home video market almost killed Troma and now it is responsible for Troma's huge resurgence? Lloyd Kaufman is not taking it for granted. He is loading up these dvds with extras, not just trailers and triva, but this one comes with the rare animated Kabukiman cartoon! It also has great commentary by the star Rick Gianisi, and if that's not enough may I remind you that the movie is a cult classic because it is a hilarious homage to camp classics like the Adam West Batman series. It can't hurt that one of the female police officers wears a thin white tank top and painted on spandex jogging shorts either!!

This is equal to Troma's War which was a masterpiece and awesome. Sgt. Kabukiman is easily one of the funniest movie's I've ever seen. With Lethal Chopsticks, and fatal sushi you can never go wrong.

This movie is unquestionably one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. The clown scene literally caused me to experience my first heart attack.(well maybe not, but I was laughing for 7 minutes straight) The killer chopsticks were brilliant, and the ancient prophecy was...well...hehehehehhe

This movie was laugh-out loud funny, and is for all Troma fans. The director keeps your wowed with plenty of great gadgets that Sgt. Kabukiman has in story. BUY THIS MOVIE NOW!

I loved it.

The planets are coming into alignment and evil will soon walk the earth again, unless Kabukiman rises to stand against this ancient threat. The chosen one has been training for twenty-five years, and just before he is to receive the spirit of Kabukiman, he is murdered. In steps the NYPD's... well, not finest, but most typical. The cocky police sargeant goes through some growing pains and struggles with his new gifts, and suffers a loss due to his inability to master his gifts. Violence and hilarity ensues.

Utterly ridiculous and frivolous, which a budget that must have been at least six figures; quality special effects, plausibility, and post-production polish were left outside the door.

The script is remarkably sophisticated for a minimum budget effort. Some of the campier aspects might not survive a better budget, but despite this there was a degree of character growth and nuance that would normally pass unnoticed in a flick like this.

I enjoyed this movie no end. Well worth the effort.

..>Great entertainment..so much BANG! for your BUCKAROO..
I am so glad I came across this gem of a time capsule.. Just notice the pictures on the desk of Reginald Stuart, the "evil spirit", one has him with Jim and Tammy Faye Baker.....priceless. Recalling all active agents...Griswold.

Every time I see this movie it gets funnier and cooler! The star Rick Gianasi has it all-cuteness,sexyness and a nack for physical humor which makes the movie the greatest! True that the quality of the video isnt great but it improves with the DVD version. I would like it if the sound was 5:1 but I had so much fun with this movie that I didnt miss it too much. Kudos to Lloyd Kaufman about the DVD extras. I would love to meet the people at Troma Team- They seem to be so imaginative and fun. (...)

I agree with trofaman, the movie is just great. Complete nonsense with a poor storyline but really really funny. The main problem with this release is that video quality is very poor. This is why I don't recommended buying this DVD.

If it's not TROMA it's not worth watching. Especilly Kabukima

Being a Troma release, it's full screen, but it doesn't skimp out on extras. It's apparently got two commentary tracks, one by Rick Gianasi himself (Kabukiman) and the other by director Lloyd Kaufman, along with a few featurettes, trailers, etc.

It used to cost a lot, but now it's gone down to a standard price of $5 it seems (AFTER I bought it for more than that *sigh*), but the movie is crunk, so it's definitely worth it.
