A glowing green drug can turn sushi into flesh-eating monsters! (Sinister resurrection syringes will generally be green, c.f. Herbert West: Reanimator, etc.) This film sounded silly as hell, especially as it's directed by Noboru Iguchi. Misaki wanted to watch it too, but she abandoned it after half an hour as "too scary". The killer sushi had started killing.

In fairness, the film's clearly unsuitable for children. Reasons include:

1. The killer sushi can be a bit disgusting. It can grow razor blades. You don't want to see someone put that in their mouth, even if most of the other sushi kills are obvious nonsense. They're explosively gory, mind you. Decapitations, flying body parts, severed tongues, etc. However, it's still absurd. Sushi will wriggle, laugh, fly and even have sex with little grunts to give birth to a cloud of tiny flying sushettes. A heroic egg sushi befriends our heroine and they can be stopped by shouting at them. I'm reminded of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. The funniest moment is around the one-hour mark when the Killer Sushi Serum's inventor consumes some of his product. What he transforms into is goofy enough that I paused the video to show Natsuki and Misaki. (They laughed.)

2. There's arse-groping, bullying, passionate kissing, marital infidelity, a naked girl in the communal bath, nyotaimori (but retaining their underwear) and a man whose reaction to seeing a woman attacked is to want to feel her boobs.

If you can tolerate all that, the film's not bad. It's going apeshit with goofy ideas, all presented tongue in cheek. Sushi comes alive, dead fish revive as zombies, humans turn into rice-dribbling undead, etc. There's mild sleaze, farting, groin attacks and an assortment of people who almost deserve to get eaten by their own dinners.

Our heroes are likeable. Rina Takeda (karate black belt and actress) plays Keiko, trained in both martial arts and sushi-making. Her father thinks they're the same thing and decides that his daughter can never be a sushi chef because she has the smell of a woman. This is extremely weird and should probably have thought about this before giving her years of training to follow in his footsteps. Anyway, she's awesome and can beat up five sexists simultaneously. Meanwhile, Shigeru Matsuzaki is an old bloke called Sawada who used to be a sushi chef but has a phobia of knives. He's charming and I half-expected Takeda and Matsuzaki to become a couple, despite the age gap. How cool is that guy?

Also here is the mighty (and never knowingly underacted) Asami. I'd watch anything with her in it. She plays the hostess at the Japanese inn where Takeda gets a job and she gets a larger role than I'd initially expected. She has a fist fight with Takeda, cheats on her husband and made me laugh when she was denying the latter.

The film's nonsense, obviously. Look at the title. It's silly, but not clever enough to be an outright comedy. Most of its jokes are visual ones, based around something outrageous and/or stupid. For instance, the fight scene with a rotating naked man on the floor. It is, though, moderately fun and has a likeable cast (including the boo-hiss ones who are going to die). I quite enjoyed it.
