I tripped over this teaser this morning and couldn’t resist sharing it. This girl has a gift, and they are making an entire film out of it.
it’s kinda like The Karate Kid in that a high school girl must learn karate in order to fend off a group of street toughs … or something along those lines. The film’s website offers up a bit more detail in terms of plot, but does it really matter? Based on these images, it appears we’ll get a cute girl in a short plaid skirt who has a really high (and sorta sexy) kick.
A girl who can kick twice her hieght? Cool. Doing it in a short kilt? Cinematic Gold.
The teaser was rather effective. Like catching that YouTube video where a hail mary sky hook shot basketball in the last seconds of the game hopelessly misses its mark and by freak chance it catches a passing kid straight in the mellon, you can’t help but wait for the moment and then stare in wonderment on just how effective the kick is.
The official site for the film, which is out this summer in Japan is here. Looks like fun!
