The Calamari Wrestler

(2004)Directed by Minoru Kawasaki91 minComedy

A giant squid has shown up in the pro-wrestling ring, and nobody in the film treats this as strange. The Calamari Wrestler (Osamu Nishimura) proves the hardest opponent yet for the champion Koji Taguchi. Minoru Kawasaki plays it completely straight, and the trouble starts when a young girl falls for the squid, which draws Koji into a quarrel over her.
