Yatterman!

My mind's going, Dave...

I spent far too much time yesterday trying to remember a film from a memory chunk that stuck in my brain. All I could remember clearly was a bridge spanning a large body of water that suddenly disappeared, leaving the cars on it (and a tyrannosaurus!) hovering mid-air for a beat before falling. The scene was so bizarre and non-sensical that I -should- have remembered it easily, but no.

It turns out that I am possibly the only person I know who could have identified that film. It was something I came across and sent (via LJ reply via another mutual friend-- see how complicated it got?) to someone who is a fan of the source material. Buh.

Here is the trailer in question (totally work-safe, if kooky):

Directed by Takashi Miike, the film boasts his distinct style ("Ichi the Killer", "Dead or Alive"). The film is a live-action version of a classic Japanese anime called, " Yatterman! " This series started out in the 70's and was about as surreal and funny as any anime gets (which is saying a lot).

Here's some eye candy for Elin if she ever bothers to read this...

This is for anyone who has rushed out to buy some new piece of technology, only to get it home and ask themselves, "What was I thinking?!?"
