4.0 out of 5 stars A Pleasant Surprise, January 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Sumo Vixens (DVD)

This movie was far better than I expected. It came as part of a package and was one of the last I watched not expecting good things.
It begins with a homage to "The Blues Brothers" (one of my all time favorites) that is done extremely well.
It then diverts into a story of a woman who's dream it is to restart women's sumo wrestling. They find the guy who was just out of prison to lead and train them.
Of course they run afoul of the local mafia who then start their own women's sumo team (stacked with killer's - of course) and bet everything on the outcome.
It's a light and silly piece of fluff that is perfect for when you're in the mood to let your mind be distracted like this. It's not anywhere near Oscar calliber, but for what it is, it's great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Japanese ladies wrestling in tiny loincloths. Great!, October 5, 2004

This review is from: Sumo Vixens (DVD)

The 5 stars are for the wrestling scenes featuring Kei Mizutani- there's not much else in the film you'll want to watch after your first viewing. She wrestles a glamorous older lady at the very start of the film, and has a grudge match with her character's former lesbian lover towards the end. There's also a soft-core lesbian scene and a shower scene that you might enjoy. Kei and her opponents look wonderful in their tiny sumo loincloths,and there can be few things more pleasurable to watch than a couple of beautiful Japanese ladies wrestling and slapping each other in the near nude.

I didn't find this one particularly funny or erotic, despite the presence of some very attractive women. The women sumo wrestling was just plain stupid, and the overall plot was mostly lame. I did enjoy the flashback scene of the two pretty women who at one time were lesbian lovers. But that one brief scene does NOT a great video make.
