"You... are not human." What the?!! This is so badass!! A Japanese filmmaker and VFX artist named Junya Okabe has finally released his homemade short film Zvp online for everyone to watch. The official title is just Zvp, but this is actually Zatoichi vs Predator - but since it's fan-made and all for fun, he can't call it that due to IP rights. In feudal Japan, blind Swordsman Zatoichi comes to the aid of a noblewoman carrying a secret treasure, and must fight cyborg ninjas and a powerful and mysterious Samurai. There are some cool cyberpunk Japanese warriors in this, but the big reveal is that the Predator is somehow kicking ass in feudal Japan. The film stars Shun Sugata and Chihiro Yamamoto. It originally premiered in 2017, but has only just hit the web this month. Even the score is awesome, too. I love coming across this kind of stuff - enjoy it.

During the Tokusatsu explosion of the 1970s, a variety of costumed superheroes and giant robots appeared across television screens in Japan, where kids were guaranteed several shows a week, detailing the exploits of their favorite heroes. From ‘Ultraman’ and ‘Kamen Rider’ to shows like ‘Spectreman,’ ‘Jumborg Ace’ and ‘Fireman,’ the shows were a staple of 1970s Japanese youth and have continued to this day with manys enjoying continued entries and a renewed fanbase. Director Junya Okabe, once one of the figureheads of Tsuburaya Studios, which produced so many of those shows, offers this new modern-day take on the subject matter which pits two of main heroes together in a new adventure.
