Independent filmmaker and actor Bueno‘s latest feature-length, uber-violent, adult-oriented contribution to Tokusatsu lore, Gun Caliber, is still a work in progress as it is currently adding a fresh new soundtrack, among other things, for its forthcoming DVD and hopeful Blu-Ray release. However, the film still carries a substantive weight of positive feedback from critics and fans of Japanese superhero suit action following the film’s limited “bootleg” release of the film online back in April via the official YouTube channel.
Well, get ready for another round! The film will be making its encore presentation of the film which will kick off the week of August 15, featuring Bueno once again as the titular gun-toting, shamelessly perverted, alcohol-addicted, anti-hero as he chews his way through evil two-guns at a time, while struggling to blend in a society where suit heroes are accosted and unappreciated. Executive produced by Paul Sullivan, the film is produced by Fernando Ramos and VFX supervisor Mike Dent, and also stars actor and fight choreographer Joey Min with Sakurako Fujiwara, Megwin Karintou, Kenji Nishikatsu and Michael Kinder rounding out the principle cast.
By the way, if you’re not familiar with earlier iterations of the initial trailer for the film, I can assure you that the newest Redband/NSFW trailer will probably blow your mind (or just melt your brain entirely). Just thought you should know.
SYNOPSIS:
Soma Kusanagi may be your average miserable Smartball Parlor employee in Tokyo’s Old Town, but when evil rears its ugly ass on the Japanese Metropolis, he transforms into the Gunslinging Superhero, Gun Caliber and fights against the evil organization known as “Skulldier”. A group hell-bent on taking over Japan right after they finish their lunch break.
