The title seems like an oxymoron, but this dubbed Japanese comedy actually manages to combine the T&A genre with sumo wrestling. The mix of offbeat humor, convoluted plot twists, softcore sex and topless rasslin' is a little too wacky for its own good, but entertaining nonetheless. Production values are impressive, and director Nakano shows both visual flair and a knack for the absurd. Kei Mizutani is especially appealing as she battles her way through a gang of Yazuka goons, flashing her panties with every high kick. Lesbian interludes and cat-fighting scenes provide a nice dose of prurience, but in monkey-spankin' terms, this is best left for hard-up Asian cinema geeks.
