1. If you like video girls and what they love to shake in the videos, this DVD should get your attention. I have watched it repeatedly and it just keeps my interest up. It ain't the best....but comparitively speaking of the rest of the competition, this is pretty good.

1. This movie was far better than I expected. It came as part of a package and was one of the last I watched not expecting good things.
   It begins with a homage to "The Blues Brothers" (one of my all time favorites) that is done extremely well.
   It then diverts into a story of a woman who's dream it is to restart women's sumo wrestling. They find the guy who was just out of prison to lead and train them.
   Of course they run afoul of the local mafia who then start their own women's sumo team (stacked with killer's - of course) and bet everything on the outcome.
   It's a light and silly piece of fluff that is perfect for when you're in the mood to let your mind be distracted like this. It's not anywhere near Oscar calliber, but for what it is, it's great.



2. The 5 stars are for the wrestling scenes featuring Kei Mizutani- there's not much else in the film you'll want to watch after your first viewing. She wrestles a glamorous older lady at the very start of the film, and has a grudge match with her character's former lesbian lover towards the end. There's also a soft-core lesbian scene and a shower scene that you might enjoy. Kei and her opponents look wonderful in their tiny sumo loincloths,and there can be few things more pleasurable to watch than a couple of beautiful Japanese ladies wrestling and slapping each other in the near nude.



3. I feel that "Sumo Vixens" Should have been longer. "Kei Mizutani" is A wonderful and talented woman. The sexy woman of Japan who drop their tops and enter the ring Are way cool. These sassy sumo wrestlers brawl their way to glory in this no holds barred film. If you ever get this movie, you might also enjoy The "Weather Woman" & "Return Of The Weather Woman" or "Undressed For Success" witch also stars Kei Mizutani as one of the sexeist woman of all time.



4. I didn't find this one particularly funny or erotic, despite the presence of some very attractive women. The women sumo wrestling was just plain stupid, and the overall plot was mostly lame. I did enjoy the flashback scene of the two pretty women who at one time were lesbian lovers. But that one brief scene does NOT a great video make.

1. Buy this one now so you will know the story of St. Patrick before March 17! You also get a great lesson in homophones.



2. This video was all worth the St. Patrick story. It was totally funny. Believe it or not it was completely historically accurate. I'm recomennding it to my friends so their kids can learn about St. Patrick.



3. We've all been at a point when the going got tough. It's how we handle those tough situations that define who we really are.
   
   In this story Larry learns that quitting is easy, but seeing it through to the end is it's own reward. The Italian Scallion quits everything when it gets a little hard. Eventually he understands that he can do it if he works hard. What's even better is that even though he didn't win the biggest prize, he wins something even more valuable. A sense of self-worth and dignity.
   
   You and your child will definitely root for the underdog on this one. Your child will learn an important lesson from this pointy headed cucumber.



4. I give this Veggietales movie 2 thumbs up! Another great movie, same great characters, more great values taught to your children. They did it again. You won't be disappointed. As a matter of fact, I don't think I have been disappointed yet with one of their movies.



5. In a nutshell, this video teaches us "to keep on keeping on." Great songs and clean humor. A must for anyone needing to teach a child how to persevere.

2 comments about SUMO EAST AND WEST.

1. I think this documentary was purposely and wisely titled "Sumo: East AND West" rather than "Sumo: East VERSUS West" (my emphases). The point of the work is that though sumo was originally only for Japanese men, it now has participants that are American, international, and even female. You see how sumo travelled from Japan to Hawaii. Thomas Edison recorded it back in 1903 and it was performed in Japanese-American internment camps. From there Polynesians picked it up. This work is a great addition to Asian Pacific American studies, as you rarely see either group in filmic works.
   
   In this film, you get to see Polynesian, black, white, Arab, and multiracial men embrace this sport. You hear them speaking Japanese (refuting ideas that Americans refuse to learn foreign languages). At the same time, the documentary shows how Japanese boys are tending to abandon sumo and embrace baseball. This work is brilliant in showing the ebb and flow of culture(s).
   
   This movie is surprising. The main interviewees are shown losing rounds. Contestants you wouldn't expect to win do so. Wrestlers retire and re-enter the sport. For those of us who love scantily clad, heavyset, superhot guys, this work is absolute eye candy and pure pleasure.
   
   I applaud this work on so many levels. Serious analyzes of social constructionism and globalization take place here through very accessible methods. I hope this documentary goes on to win awards or garner massive audience reception.



2. This flick is a very interesting peek into the current sumo wrestling world. While I wish it included more historical and technical information about the sport, I guess that's just not what its aim is. For example, I would like to have learned what these wrestlers eat and what leads them to join this sport (is it because they are large to begin with?).
   This film does a good job of showing the newcomers' problems with fitting in and even touches on female sumo wrestlers (though not enough in my opinion). There is some great "insider" footage, such as the ritual of breaking in a new wrestler and the blessing of the dohyo ring before a competition. Overall, it's interesting but a little slow because it relies on wrestlers' interviews to lead the narration and these big guys speak very slowly!

1. any other network would have gotten rid of this show after this first season. it was terrible. awful acting and awful lame scripts led to it being canceled not once but 2 times. this is a fact. stay away and save your hard earned money.



2. Great show, terrible quality on this DVD. Don't buy the slim set. Get another version of this season. The picture quality is so terrible, it's distracting. What a dissapointment.



3. The TV show itself is amazing...and I was quite excited to buy the first season. Only to find out that "Very Good" quality actually means pretty beat up box set and that "All three discs of season one" means you will be getting disc two and two copies of disc three..meaning no disc one. Luckily I was refunded...and they were very courtesy and I received my money back very quickly.



4. this is the first season and if on any other network would have been the last. it was canceled twice because it was so bad. avoid this show and look elsewhere for a show that has talent and is good



5. You can never get by the fact that this show was canceled twice. not just by 1 network but by 2. you also cant escape the fact that the star of the show wants nothing to do with it. just shows it has no value at all. other better places to look for good sci fi for sure
