The Legend of the Stardust Brothers

This is a seriously quirky and surreal film with a real 'b-movie' feel to it. It has a comic book feel, or style, to it. It's like a series of energetic, frenetic music videos, with a loose plot between them. There are cheap, 1980s electronic sound effects but that sort of adds to its charm I suppose. The black and white still shots of an unamused crowd/audience made me smile.

This was weird but not entertaining. I was more annoyed with this than anything else. It just felt like I was watching a jumble of crap but mediocre music.

The plot is simple and unoriginal. The acting and many other aspects also leave enough to desire. But this is one of those musical in which the musical interlude are actually the highlights of the movie. Those songs and "music videos" are extremely energetic and immensely catchy, making this a pure blast of fun!

I kept missing the subtitles as my eyes were glued to the absolute joyous mania onscreen.

Sort of like a string of music video clips, but so inventive and exciting to watch.

everything is so vibrant and likeable that i'm surprised there hasn't been any interest in this film until now. love the who's who of 80s japanese culture too.
