Fukuda's an odd one, a talented writer and director with an obvious fondness for goofy slapstick who blends that tendency with a legitimate talent for character and surprisingly complex storytelling. Both Kids Police and Hentai Kamen were films that should have been little more than single joke affairs stretched thin and that neither were - both are remarkably well made - is entirely down to Fukuda's skills.
And now he's wading into the world of Japanese masked heroes and he's bringing his characteristic style with him. Fukuda's next is a film titled Joshi Zu, a film that brings together five women as a new superhero team. Here's the synopsis, as translated by AsianWiki:
Yep, he's making a 'Women Tornado' and the freshly released teaser showcases plenty of the style and wry touches that made us such fans of his earlier work. Check it out below.To battle a malicious monster, five women are gathered in front of Commander Charles against their will. The five women are selected because they each have a family name that represents a color. The five women are filled with doubts about what they are able to do collectively, but they go up against the monster using their lethal technique "Women Tornado". The five women can only use the "Women Tornado" when they are all gathered together.
