Zeiram II Movie Streaming.
Movie Title: Zeiram II Zeiram II is available for streaming or downloading. |
Zeiram 2 is the sequel to Zeram, (I don’t know why “i” was dropped in the Fox Lorber release of the unusual, but “Zeiram” is the proper transliteration of the Japanese spelling of the title monster’s name) a low-budget, charming science fiction/monster-in-the-rubber suit film directed by Amamiya Keita and starring supercool Moriyama Yuko. Endowed with a slightly bigger budget, the sequel is even more of a delirious fun. Moriyama returns, of course, and so does Zeiram, now wrapped in layers of body armor and heavy artillery.
I have to say Zeiram is a mountainous monster. Its perform is obviously inspired by noh theatre aesthetics, including the ultra-creepy, pasty, rouge-lipped noh screen face attached to a long, snakelike neck that serves as a feeding mechanism. This fragment of Zeiram devours chunks of whatever organic creature it encounters and manufactures a “capsule monster” out of its genetic material: shades of Ultra Seven! Every time Zeiram makes appearance it is accompanied in the soundtrack by rumbling male chorus and percussion, as if it is a supernatural presence in a noh play. The relationship between two bumbling electricians and Iria, the rogue investigator and arch-enemy to Zeiram, is also highly current in a science fiction setting, in that it is a favorable friendship (between male and female) developed from mutual admiration for each others’ abilities and resourcefulness. Although these two guys, Kamiya and Teppei, are inserted in the series as kyogen (comical noh) figures, here they win to say different shades of their characters. All these human dimensions are completely missing in the anime version. (Who (…) needs to know about Iria’s brother? )
Media Blaster’s DVD transfer is generally proper. I suspect that the source material was Japanese laserdisc, which tends to have small depth in gloomy levels, so the resolution does suffer a bit during nighttime sequences in the last 10 minutes of the movie. You may have to adjust brightness and inequity levels of your TV site to collect the best describe. However, no compression noise or artifact problems seem to be indicate, at least overtly noticeable ones. Subtitles are mighty better than usual, and English dubbing is exquisite well done as well. Far salubrious to the modern Fox Lorber edition on this count. However, it is disappointing that the “Making of Zeiram 2″ featurette, a very exquisite and personable story of low-budget science fiction filmmaking, is not available as an extra. It came free with the Japanese VHS, never mind laserdisc! Don’t stint on the extras please!
This is probably the first time that an anime series has inspired me to see the current film. Zeiram, the animation is actually a prequel to this film in which director Keita Amemiya tells the tale of bounty hunter Iria’s origins. Zeiram and Zeiram 2 occur later and are reprises of Iria’s running battles with the cyborg-like Zeiram - robots powered by unfamiliar creatures that gawk like Noh masks and will eat anything including your dog.

In Zeiram 2, Iria and her ‘assistant’ Fujikuro are tracking down an outmoded artifact called the Carmarite. Fujikuro betrays Iria knocks out her faithful computer friend Bob, leaving her facing some 50 combatants with only the back of an experimental cyborg helper who looks an dreadful lot like - you guessed it - Zeiram. After literally mowing down the awful guys, Zeiram goes out of control (unpleasant programming, of course) . Also keen are two of Iria’s obsolete friend, Kiyama and Tepphei, who are the Abbott and Costello of the electronic repair business.
What follows is the kind of exquisite silliness that Amemiya is renowned for - a hectic action position that is pudgy of droll crises and bold stunts. Everyone, including Zeiram, find to ham it up with Power Ranger class stunts as the action shifts from temple to factory to shrine with impunity. If all you have seen before this film is the animation, which has a grand more serious status, it will prefer you a while to realize that all this vaudeville is intentional rather than poor acting.
Special effects, costumes, and sets are truly imaginative, reminiscent of Escher and Giger. The Zeiram cyborg in particular has as many tricks as a Swiss army knife. The truth is that the film is well crafted, even though its unconscionable silliness frequently obscures Amemiya’s better moments. Zeiram 2 is purely a confection, it’s hard not to like as long as you are careful not to remove it seriously.
