PRGAAMWA DVD Fight: Samurai Chicks vs. Mikadroid

Samurai ChicksMikadroid: Robokill Beneath Disco Club Layla

After watching Samurai Chicks on Friday night, I wasn’t that enthusiastic about watching Mikadroid: Robokill Beneath Disco Club Layla. On the surface, Samurai Chicks looked like it could have been cool, but didn’t deliver. Mikadroid looked bad from the start. Seriously, the robot was holding A LIGHTSABER on the DVD cover. The things I watch sometimes. . .

At least both movies were really short. I mean REALLY short, as in under 75 minutes each, so I could watch them both and still have time to catch up on the TV shows I missed while we were in San Fransisco last week.

Both movies were low budget stinkers, but the difference between them is execution. Samurai Chicks is a mess. The voice over narration is annoying. The flashbacks used for exposition were placed kind of randomly through the main events. The ghost of Yuki’s mom was laughable and makes no sense within the context of the story.

Mikadroid also deals with events from way back in the past, but the audience gets that exposition in a natural way. It starts off in the 1940s with some mild narration, then skips ahead to the present. There is a point in the middle when more is explained, again with narration, but instead of a full on flashback, the camera sweeps over the wreckage of the lab. We see burnt blueprints for the cyborg, journals, photographs. It’s actually a very moving scene.Mikadroid wins this match because it executes a silly concept well. Plus, the title is awesome. With a title like Mikadroid: Robokill Beneath Disco Club Layla, there’s no mistaking what’s going on. There’s obviously going to be some kind of droid on a killing spree beneath a disco. That holds all kinds of bloody promise.Don’t miss a review. Subscribe to Pink Raygun by Email, or Subscribe via RSS

Lisa Fary's earliest influences are Princess Leia, Rainbow Bright, Astronaut Barbie, and her 6th grade teacher, Ms. Palmer. She's angry that it's 2011 and she still doesn't have a hovercraft, but will accept a jetpack as consolation. That jetpack had better be pink with a rhinestone monogram.
