Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD is a fun, brainless action comedy that's a blast if you know what to expect.

I recently watched the Troma Entertainment classic Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD (1991) on Tubi. The storyline follows an NYPD officer who unexpectedly becomes the "good chosen one," aka Kabukiman. Meanwhile, a group of local crime lords is in the process of summoning the "bad chosen one." Can Kabukiman stop them, or will he be outmatched by his arch-nemesis?This film is co-directed by Michael Herz and Lloyd Kaufman, who also teamed up on The Toxic Avenger, and stars Rick Gianasi (Mutant Hunt), Susan Byun (Deadly Target), Bill Weeden (Psycho Ape), and Joe Fleishaker (Trashtastic).Like most Troma films, this is one where you need to shut your brain off and just enjoy the ride. Absolutely nothing in this movie is meant to be taken seriously-the acting, dialogue, and situations are completely over the top. The opening kill scene is hilarious, there are some wild shootouts, the park fight is amazing, and the clown chase is genuinely funny. I also enjoyed the use of tigers and the unique camera angles. There are several laugh-out-loud moments, and the narration and soundtrack fit the tone perfectly. Even the transformation scenes are surprisingly well done, and Susan Byun (Extramarital) is stunning.In conclusion, Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD is a fun, brainless action comedy that's a blast if you know what to expect. I'd rate it a 7/10 and strongly recommend it for those in the right mindset.

Another bizarre and promising Troma cartoon made with real people

After The Toxic Avenger trilogy, Troma presents this comedy with a new superhero that parodies elements of kabuki and Japanese culture. Sgt. Kabukiman is a bizarre fun that has the cartoonish humor of Troma. The film is an authentic cartoon made with real humans that offers several delirious and nonsensical moments that seek to make the viewer laugh. Like The Toxic Avenger, the concept is a parody of superhero cinema and what it offers is something that does not seek to be taken seriously. Like many Troma films, this film has no good acting, no solid script, no character development, and everything is nonsense. It's a comedy that delivers guaranteed laughs and manages to do that without the need to be an excellent movie. That makes it an enjoyable film to watch and Kabukiman has already become an iconic character along with Toxie. The soundtrack has its interesting side as it is based on the opera Madame Butterfly and the Kabukiman song is unforgettable. Perhaps the battle with the evil being should have been more hesitant because the design of that creature is out of this world. Sgt. Kabukiman is another of Troma's bizarre films that promises laughter and guaranteed entertainment. My final rating for this movie is a 7/10.

Funny and Weird

This is definitely one of the best Troma movies.It actually has a plot and there's no gore at all.The first thing I should say is that you should watch this before you watch Citizen Toxie.There is at least one really funny joke that you won't get if you watch them in the wrong order.In typical Troma fashion, Kabukiman is completely different in CT and I like the latter version better.Even though this is one of the better Troma flicks, there's still a lot of stuff in it that doesn't make sense.At one point Kabukiman turns into a clown and his clown powers can't hurt the bad guys.I can buy that.Then he starts running from them and after a minute of them chasing him with cars, he jumps on one of the cars and now they are scared of him.Was that supposed to be funny?Those little bad parts don't really hurt the movie though.This is a Troma movie that non-Troma fans might enjoy.
