3.0*/5.0*

Early Japanese cyberpunk that isn't cyber at all, but it certainly is punk. This film feels a lot like early Tsukamoto, except that the plot is way more sillier. It's not all that coherent either, it's a collection of sketches and unrelated scenes centered around a guy with a cabbage for a head, running around Tokyo.

The film quality is paltry, the editing is zany, and the plot (if you can call it that) is completely bonkers. This is definitely an experience and considering its age, a somewhat important milestone in the genre, but it's nowhere as refined or accomplished as the better films in the genre. A fun little oddity.
