Meanwhile Kieko
enlists the help of Yamagushi. a studio employee who has been besotted
with her for a long time. Why? So that he can use the Heavenly
Whip
on her that will grant her powers to control the weather and
subsequently
destroy Shimamori. Thus we get the sight of her getting tied up and
whipped.
When she has been transformed into the weather witch she heads off to
the
studio to battle Shimamori for the accolade of Weather Woman.
This is truly
a bizarre film, due mainly to the cultural differences between our two
countries. Also the Japanese sense of humour is radically different
from
ours, so what they find funny makes us go huh! But the film has
sex
and fetishism running through it and that is universal. There are
also some satirical stabs at the easily swayed television viewers as
they
jump from supporting one cult of personality to another. As it is
based on a comic book, it has retained that vibrant anything goes
attitude.
So there you have it a satirical, fetishistic, sexy, sometimes funny,
always-watchable
witch movie. This may put some people off, but if you view it
with
an open mind, you will experience something quite unique. A
sequel
followed (Weather Girl R) that played down the comedy aspects and
instead
focused more on the sex. Strangely enough this was less successful.
