A certain level of utter chaos and mayhem from the guy
behind Tokyo Gore Police and Mutant Girl
Squad is to be expected, and the trailer for Japanese director Yoshihiro Nishimura’s
Kodoku Meatball Machine does not disappoint on that front.
Check it out below, it’ll be the most insane two minutes of your day. If it isn’t,
holy shit, you’re having a weird one.
To be honest, watching this trailer, I have no idea what
Kodoku Meatball Machine is actually about, but it’s crazy.
Dodgy special effects, blood, wailing heavy metal, and machine gun boobs…and
blood. That’s the gist of it. And that wizard-looking person at the beginning. And
that floating space jar thing. And did I mention blood?
Kodoku Meatball Machine is a sequel to
2005’s Meatball Machine, which Yoshihiro Nishimura worked on
as a special effects artist and modeler. While there aren’t any details about
the new chapter, that film is about an invasion of alien parasites called
NecroBorgs, so it’s easy to infer that the latest instalment will follow along
similar lines.
I feel like you’re either totally on the hook for Kodoku
Meatball Machine or you watched this trailer and shook your head,
muttering about, “some people.” There’s not a lot of middle ground to be found
here. If this is your jam, it’s your jam, if it’s not, this looks like the
worst thing you’ve ever seen. Which is pretty much par for the course.
I suspect I’ll watch this, dig the hell out of it for like
15-minutes, then grow weary of the extreme cyberpunk carnage. But who knows, it
does feature a good cast that includes Eihi Shiina
(Audition), Yoji Tanaka (Kill Bill Vol.
1), Ami Tomite (Tag), Takumi Saito (13
Assassins), and more. Kodoku Meatball Machine has
the potential to be a total blast. Or at least a face-full of arterial spray.
