This past summer was the last time we wrote about SUSHI GIRL, the Kern Saxton mash-up featuring a who’s who of B-movie stars. Today we have a fresh one-sheet for the film, as well as the knowledge that the flick is poised to hit DVD and Blu-ray here in the states February 19th. Could make a perfect double-feature with the J-horror comedy DEAD SUSHI.
Co-written with Saxton by Destin Pfaff:
The film centers on the compelling character of a man called “Fish,” just released after six years in jail after successfully not ratting on those involved in the robbery that sent him to prison. The night he is released, the men he protected with silence celebrate his freedom with a congratulatory dinner. The meal is a lavish array of sushi, served off the naked body of a beautiful young woman. The sushi girl seems catatonic, trained to ignore everything in the room, even if things become dangerous. Sure enough, the unwieldy thieves can’t help but open old wounds in an attempt to find their missing loot, with violent results.
Mark Hamill (Star Wars Franchise) and Tony Todd (Candyman) lead a cast of cult heroes including Noah Hathaway (The NeverEnding Story), James Duval (Donnie Darko), Andy Mackenzie (MacGruber), David Dastmalchian (The Dark Knight) and Cortney Palm (Superbad). Sushi Girl also includes feature appearances by Michael Biehn (Aliens), Sonny Chiba (Kill Bill Vol. 1), Jeff Fahey (Grindhouse) and Danny Trejo (Machete) all appear in the flick.
If appetizing, pre-order SUSHI GIRL on DVD HERE, Blu-ray HERE.
