Comedy that's quirky, and then some
22 November 2023
TOKYO DRAGON CHEF is a fun little comedy from the director who brought us TOKYO GORE POLICE, and I actually enjoyed it slightly more than that over-the-top effort. There's no wall-to-wall gore here, just plenty of surrealism in the story of a couple of ageing Yakuza who decide to go straight and open up a ramen bar. It's a low budget production packed full of cheesy stylistics and over the top acting and situations, but that's part of the charm. I particularly love the musical interludes, which are great, and wish there could have been more of them. If you like your comedy weird then TOKYO DRAGON CHEF is the film for you!
