Yugo Sakamoto confirms autism theory!? Yes! twitter.com/JustEvilBrad/status/1730290864134525354?t=Ko5i4uBkX6Th2qjaAeeexw&s=19

The last hand to hand action sequence in this movie was amazing and something you would never see in modern Hollywood movies where female fighters are invincible and beat the crap out of larger stronger opponents. The choreography, flow and music was really great. The bodyguard of the Yukaza Boss's Daughter was already established as a one-shot knockout badass in the film. After Mahiro get's disarmed and takes strong blow to the face, she is bloodied and realizing the bodyguard is really strong. She fights hand to hand almost keeping up with the bodyguard but takes serious damage and the situation gets desperate as the music pace of the music quickens. To survive and come out on top she had to use her head (figuratively and literally). I saw the Baby Assassins 2 and I really liked it as well. It looked like the budget of this sequel was a larger than the first movie hinting the first movie must of done pretty well commercially. There's a TV mini-series coming out as well as a third movie. The trailer and the poster of Baby Assassins 3 looks like it might take a more dark and serious tone (might be intended to be the finale of the Baby Assassins franchise). We'll have to see.

I LOVE the film! Trying to find somewhere to watch the sequel but can't find it streaming anywhere. I think Sakamoto has a great talent for directing action and knowing that action doesn't always mean fighting. Being able to keep a person engaged throughout a film and having actors that are capable of giving you multiple layers are what makes more than one character relatable to more than one person. When people can relate to more than one character in any production, they will watch it repeatedly because every time they do, they will get a different perspective. And it's why we're still talking about it... love, love, love it and want to see BA2 ASAP!!!

I loved the secret autism idea thought process, as I also think the Mahiro character is the more interesting of the two but I also hope that the sequel goes into more depth for both of them. I could not stop watching both the action scenes and the scenes of Mahiro trying to communicate or being frustrated. The comedy reminds me a bit of Beat Takeshi's cop and gangster films, where he just doesn't care about his foes, so everything is just matter of fact during confrontation scenes.

You should watch the anime Lycoris Recoil, it is basically Baby Assassins in animated form. The main character's name is even Chisato as well and she's as much of a ditz as this one is.

Just watched it due to the sequel trailer and enjoyed your video and thoughts!

The sequel is out. It has more action with the same humor and awkwardness. Baby Assassins is a cult classic in the making. I find it similar to the anime Mezzo Forte, which I also liked minus the nudity.

loved the film, cant wait for the sequel

Good ole letterboxd reviews changing our entire view of a film I totally feel the oden line haha Great review and editing!!!!

Your voice is very relaxing! Haha! Makes it easier to feel welcomed into the video and liked the analysis.

i can't believe i hadn't watched this essay until now!

thanks man. i love this movie alot!

Expectations can make a huge difference to enjoying a film. Michael B Jordan did a coming of age movie about a young boy that finds a powerful sci fi rifle. The trailer makes it look like an all out action film but it was actually a coming of age story. If you were expecting all out action you might have been disappointed by it.

I had the exact same reaction to this movie. I went in thinking it was an action movie (the trailer is really edited toward that idea) and then I discovered the slacker film I never knew I was needing. I loved it and have watched it three times now. i can't wait until they release the sequel. And I noticed they make an appearance in the movie The Janitor, though I didn't actually see their faces but the blonde hair of Mahiro.

Thanks to all the new viewers. I guess sequel announcement has caused the uptick but for those interested. I will be posting a video on the sequel, i already have an idea in mind, just waiting for its official release to rewatch it first! Can't wait to share it

I don't know how I've never heard of this movie earlier (0 0) These two girls felt so authentic that I wondered if I was watching a portrayal of fictional characters.

GREAT movie

I would love to watch this but can't find it
