Revealing mistakes: Saki chases a bomb-carrying classmate into a shopping mall. It's bright sunshine outside when they enter the mall, but on several occasions inside, skylights are visible showing that it is night outside. As the DVD featurette reveals, the mall interior sequences were filmed late at night.

Don't Ask Questions, Just Enjoy

The latest entry in the decades-old "Sukeban Deka" franchise is a worthy successor to the name, and while it isn't at all necessary to be familiar with the other incarnations of the title to enjoy the film, it does help the viewer catch a few mythology gags and shout-outs here and there. Production values are amazingly high for a low-budget Japanese film; it looks almost like a mid-budget Hollywood effort at times, which is a tribute to the director and the production design team, as well as their selection of impressive and sometimes beautiful locations for shooting. It does suffer from a couple mysterious plot holes particularly near the climax, but they shouldn't really impede enjoyment of the surprisingly well-crafted story. Aya Matsuura's dark and gritty turn at Saki is a pleasant surprise to anyone who knows her primarily from her uber-cutesy idol persona "Ayaya", and Rika Ishikawa likewise successfully plays against her image in her role as bad-girl high school queen Reika. Despite the goofy sound of the title in English, this is easily worth the money to rent or even buy.
