High Kick Girl Kicks Really, Really High
Asian Movie News, High Kick Girl (2009) Movie, Videos — By Nix on January 5, 2009
So, okay, so she’s a high school girl (I’m guessing by the plaid skirt and school girl uniform) and she’s, like, kinda into karate and stuff, and get this, she can kick really, really high, and really, really fast. Or at least that’s what I gather from this short teaser video showing a scene from the new Japanese movie “High Kick Girl”, starring Rina Takeda, who apparently can actually do the high kicking required in a movie about, er, a girl who kicks high. Hey, this movie always sells itself!
Poster and synopsis from Dread Central. It goes something like this (as if you couldn’t have guessed the plot):
A cute high school girl who learns karate must take on a group of secret fighters with help from her karate master.
I wonder if the fact that our lead is a high school girl who goes around kicking guys in the face while wearing her school uniform will play into the film’s plot. You know, possibly involving a lecherous villain or some such with a fetish for “cute high school girls” in school uniforms? Naaaaaaah. The Japanese are way too classy for that.
Anyhoo, teaser video via Twitchfilm below, and pics via the film’s blog:

I knew I wanted to see this movie for a reason. xD
This looks lame. There\\\’s no excitement, fury, or even charisma in this girl\\\’s movements. Gimme a break!
bobby, you are such a fag.
Man, the actress Rina Takeda is actually supposed to be a martial arts expert. So she already knows all the moves and forms of karate. I don’t know what belt she is though.
Rena is amazing, she’s a real karate champion and she’s cute on TV shows too

Yeah, she is a National karate champion. And when we talk about a Japanese martial arts champions we don’t talk about belt color (and I don’t like this kind of question), but wich dan she/he are.
