During World War II, the Japanese military established a secret underground laboratory in Tokyo. Three Olympic-level athletes were selected to undergo a process that would turn them into Jinra-go, superhuman armored soldiers. By March 1945, one of the soldiers had been completely transformed into the half man/half machine ultimate soldier called Mikadroid. But American B-29s firebomb the city and, while the two super soldiers manage to escape, Mikadroid and the lab are apparently destroyed.
Decades pass, Tokyo is rebuilt, and old secrets are forgotten. 45 years later, the site is now home to a complex that includes the Discoclub Layla. The discoÂ’s patrons dance late into the night, unaware that a faulty basement generator has reactivated Mikadroid and the cyborg now prowls the basement levels, killing anyone in its path...
Produced by the legendary Toho studios, and featuring a cameo by Asian horror director Kiyoshi Kurosawa (Pulse, Cure, Charisma). Mikadroid is an underground cult classic thatÂ’s never been available in North America until now!
Ca sent fort le V-cinema. Passé un pré-générique sympathique le début est mou, mais à mesure que ça avance ça penche sérieusement dans le bis nawak, avec des décors grandioses .
Ce n'est pas une grande réalisation, les affrontements à l'arme à feu sont rachitiques au regard des promesses faites, mais l'amateur de pellicules cheap nippones peut le voir avec un bon sourire en coin. Ca vaudrait le coup de poster des caps du robot, mais ça risquerait de gâcher le plaisir de la découverte.
Etrangement le pré-générique et le film sont en 1.33 tandis que le générique de début est en panoramique.
