Jackson and Callan McAauliffe are both great as Karl Aker and Oburi, respectively. I think more women wish they had a defense weapon like that to carry around with them.
#Kite anime pistol movie#
There's one scene in particular I quite enjoyed seeing in this movie and that's seeing Sawa take a dildo and shove it into a guy's mouth only for it to fire a bullet out the back end of his head. She comes well equipped for the job as well, we get to see the purse-turned-gun a few times and she even has the time-bomb bullets (this time they have a more well-rounded countdown to when they explode). They rework the story by adding new characters, and give familiar characters like Oburi (Callan McAuliffe) more room to work than the previous OVA did. The same conclusion, but different paths are taken to get there. I still stand by that point, but what Cox and Ziman do here is rework Sawa's story into something with a different angle and wider choices. In the original review I stated that I felt the sex served a purpose for Sawa's character growth and that this is a story that is hindered by not including them. One smart move Ziman and screenwriter Brian Cox make is leaving out all of the sex from the original OVA. This isn't your grandpa's Kite and I imagine that's for the better. In fact I think I'm the only one who did, but that's okay. Now, I've looked around, gauged what others thought of this film as it did have a lot to prove – it comes from very risque and edgy source material – and the storyline just isn't something that can be translated completely onto a live-action screen. Kite, amazingly enough, is one of these films.
