Let's Shoot Ridiculously

About This Movie

So, 'Let's Shoot Ridiculously' from 1991 is quite the oddity. It follows Takashi Kashiwagi, a former high school baseball player turned member of the Mutsumi Imai Federation. The pacing is a bit off-kilter, almost like it can't decide if it wants to be a sports drama or a quirky comedy, which gives it this unique charm. The performances range from earnest to delightfully over-the-top, and there’s something about the practical effects that really grounds the film, even if they’re not exactly top-notch. It captures a certain vibe of early '90s cinema that feels refreshingly raw. Definitely a conversation starter in any collection.

'Let's Shoot Ridiculously' is somewhat of a rarity, making it an interesting piece for collectors. It has limited format history, primarily existing on VHS, which adds to its mystique. The scarcity of physical copies often leads to discussions at collector meet-ups, as few seem to have seen it, let alone own a copy. Its blend of sports and oddball humor captures a niche audience that appreciates this kind of offbeat cinema.
