"All you need for a movie is a gun and a girl." -- Jean-Luc Godard
"All you need for a movie is another movie to steal from." -- Bruno Mattei
Gleefully dumb bullshit. Starts off feeling like an Aliens rip-off (good) but then turns the dials all the way up to anime. A dozen expendables are given insect superpowers (one guy uses his bug ability to aggressively vomit fire as a way of turbo-boosting an armored car) and they're tasked with fighting a planet of club-toting cockroach cavemen to the death. That's all there is to it, and that's all a movie needs to be as long as it's committed.…
Made it halfway through Sun Vulcan! Eh the show's not so bad once you adjust your expectations. As a follow-up to Denziman it is painfully devoid of character, especially in the rangers who might as well not exist out of their suits. But it's still a Shozo Uehara-era show with Akira Kushida music and Machiko Soga as a villain, so it is definitely not all bad.
My favorite piece of Ice Cream Man trivia is that they recently tried to do a Kickstarter for part 2 but only managed to get 4 out of their 300k goal and half of that came from one backer who pledged 2k to pick an ice cream flavor in the movie.
"With a good script, a good director can produce a masterpiece. With the same script, a mediocre director can produce a passable film. But with a bad script even a good director can’t possibly make a good film. For truly cinematic expression, the camera and the microphone must be able to cross both fire and water. The script must be something that has the power to do this."

"One of the space samurai should have really big boobies."
