When I saw the DVD cover for this film, I knew I had to have it. As a fan of over-the-top action, sleaze, obscure anime and anything fun and ridiculous, Yo-Yo Girl Cop seemed like an obvious purchase.
What I expected was fast, fun, over-the-top action, featuring the titular girl serving up justice with a yo-yo. This movie almost has none of that.Instead, the film is for the most part a (at times) poorly shot, slow-moving melodrama with one big fight at the end. The yo-yo doesn't even see action until about a third of the way in, and even then it's brief and the protagonist accidentally hits herself with it.
The plot isn't bad and at times almost seemed like it would start to get interesting. But it never really did. The movie just kind of moved slowly along until the final showdown, which was incredibly brief. This movie was a major, major letdown.Temper your expectations.
