Nikkatsu Corporation and FUNimation Entertainment announced today an agreement that gives the latter an exclusive first look option on the home entertainment distribution of titles premiering from Nikkatsu Corporation's new genre film label, The Sushi Typhoon.
The first two films slated for release on DVD and Blu-ray through the partnership are the action gore comedy film Alien vs. Ninja and the splatter action comedy Mutant Girls Squad in early 2011.
Created by Producer Yoshinori Chiba, The Sushi Typhoon aims to bring the best talent from Japanese cult cinema to world-wide audiences. Mutant Girls Squad (trailer below) is presented by Yoshihiro Nishimura (Tokyo Gore Police), Noboru Iguchi (The Machine Girl), and Tak Sakaguchi (Samurai Zombie).
The upcoming horror and gore movie entitled Mutant Girls Squad (Sento Shojo: Chi no Tetsu Kamen Densetsu) will be starring two gravure idols: Yumi Sugimoto and Suzuka Morita. Also included in the main cast is Jdrama actress, Yuko Takayama.
Sugimoto plays Rin, a bullied teenager who discovers her arm has mutated into a razor-sharp weapon on her 16th birthday. A shadow government organization immediately begins hunting her down, slaughtering her parents in the process, but Rin is saved in the nick of time by a super-powered being called “Hiruko”. Soon, mutants from all over Japan are gathered together and begin militant training to overthrow the government. Meanwhile, Rin is fitted with a special iron mask and begins her life as a “battle girl”, utilizing both her mutant powers and acrobatic abilities to fight against mutant-hunting special forces.
The movie is under the helm of directors Noboru Iguchi (Machine Girl), Yoshihiro Nishimura (Tokyo Gore Police), and Tak Sakaguchi (Sakigake! Otokojuku) and produced by Nikkatsu.
