WHAT’S
IT ABOUT THEN?
Every
so often a movie will come along
that redefines the word cult -
the kind of movie that you can't
believe you've seen,
Weatherwoman is just such a
movie, coming across like a soft
porn Carry On crossed with a
Hero style Hong Kong Martial
Arts fest.

Kei
Mizutani is Keiko who finds herself filling in when a TV stations normal
weathergirl is away. For some reason she decides it would be a good idea
to flash her knickers to the viewers at home, of course this was a good
idea because ratings go through the roof and Keiko is soon given free
reign to revamp the weather report. Soon Keiko is the most popular thing
on TV, however she does have her rivals in the shape of ousted
weathergirl Michiko as well as the Chairman's daughter Kaori who has
plans to get rid of Keiko once and for all - cue some fantastic
acrobatic fight scenes between Keiko and Kaori.
Director
Tomoaki
Hosoyama, who has a porn film background, based the movie on a very
popular manga strip by Tetsu Adachi

iand
Weatherwoman, despite one or two dodgy moments (including a mind blowing
song and dance routine by a group of fetishists and a visit to an enema
lover) does have a cartoon feel to it. If you want to take it seriously
you could say its a searing indictment of modern televisions
preoccupation with pushing the boundaries of taste, after all there is a
cable news show called Naked News that features a weathergirl flashing
more than her knickers or you could just enjoy it for what it is - a
cult movie that gets better with every viewing.
Any
Special Features?
The
English language dub which makes the movie even funnier.
