The best of the worst in this film...


It HAS to be the scene where they run though the fireballs and the smashed cars, because they do it right to left earlier in the film, then left to right near the end, the VERY SAME scene. Either that or every street looks the same in Japan, I mean, come on, they all look the same anyway, right? (Bad joke, sorry).

My fave was when the one female lead remarks "It must have been an earthquake or something" while you're hearing this loud, unearthly roaring in the background...Helllooooo?!?

haha Yeah I just finished watching this and was laughing my ass off at that part too. (it seemed like nobody heard that roaring!?)
There was definitely some campy fun in this movie (though it was really about 20 minutes too long IMO) and I must say Erin was quite cute, hope to see her in some slightly better movies in the future.

That was funny but I love when they are in the basement and one says something to the effect of "I hear bombs going off. Do you think they are shooting at the monster?"

How dumb is this girl? What else would they be firing rockets at ... looters?

I like where the dude is filming and he dies and drops the camera, and the actress crawls forward to get it, revealing a long shot down her shirt.

OK, I know I'm not 14 any more, but I got a thrill from just how bold and obvious an exploitation that was.

Also, I liked how the girls managed to film each other a lot from the neck down. They are either very bad cinematographers, or else very good cinematographers depending on your interests. But certainly the director has no shame. I really admire that.

This movie was sooo bad, I just couldn't help watching it painfully all the way 'til the end, because I really wanted to tell my friends that I "painfully watched it all the way 'til the end"...

The one part were I was completely not listening, was when the sisters meet 2 security officers that are blocking them for no reason at all, while many people just run right and left past them... ??? At that point, I started noticing that the same people were going back and forth, as many as 10 times... I know the Asylum is low on the budget, but would've it kill them to simply 1- make the people run in one direction (tey are fleeing, aren't they?) and 2- give them new coats/shirts before they come passing by again... geez...

I saw this last night and came here to mention some of the stupid goofs that they obviously thought no one would notice. Or perhaps they didn't care. But yeah, the main one was that scene where the same people keep walking past again and again :)

What made it worse, was that one guy was wearing a really distinctive black jacket with white panels on it. I mean come on, you can't have someone keep walking past again and again in such a noticeable jacket.

Worse, he was then in a later scene with them as well :)

It is a real shame they didn't take just the tiniest bit more care and attention. They could actually have put together something half decent with some thought, good camera work, and some polish on the dialogue.
