The high-kick genre of Japanese martial arts films since actress Rina Takeda’s 2009 break out hit, High Kick Girl, seems to have been a proven formula in recent years. On that note, Filmsmash forwarded a new glimpse into another film headed our way in the form of High Kick Angels from the film’s official Twitter account. Little is yet to be made clear about who is behind this project, although High Kick Girl director Fuyuhiko Nishi might somehow be involved, based on several vine videos aired from his account as well.
Like previous “high-kick” films, High Kick Angels currently has a cast accumulating with its fair share of talented acting and athletic martial arts beauties, including Karate champion Kanon Miyohara, Kyokushin black belt Mayu Kawamoto, and featuring Japanese model and fellow Karate blackbelt Kaede Aono making her film debut. A small slate of training videos were made available on YouTube as of late last year featuring our female cast which you can check out below.
Stay tuned for more info.
