Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Fliction Hello,I was in the movie too but only as an extra. I was part of the group of kids from NAS Kamiseiya & Atsugi. It was a great learning experience and lots of fun. Everyone from the Director on down was polite and energetic. I'm hoping to get lucky and get the movie again because I gave a copy to my friend to record before I left Japan but never got it back. I remember the person who played Kenny and was glad to see someone had at least left comment on the movie :D When we saw it on opening night I remember seeing several people get emotional towards the end of the movie. Was really good to see that everyone's effort had impressed the
csanpedro I was also in this movie, it was the best experience I've ever had growing up in Japan. I went to school in Yokosuka and later moved to Atsugi attending Zama, but I'm a Yo-Hi Devil forever!!! Any who, I was not a main character I was playing two different characters (as an extra), we spent all our free times just hanging out waiting for our turn to shoot our scene...got treated to McDonalds a lot :-) This movie is your typical Japanese "Godzilla" like movie and the special effects back then were cool...notice I said back then! If you were to watch this movie now, you'd think differently, so if ever seeing, please keep in mind that this movie was made back in 1987. I would love to hear from the other two that has posted a comment on this.
arthur johnson My name is Arthur Johnson, and I was in the movie. I played the role of Kenny. It was a great film from beginning to the end. Even though special effects wasn't that great back then. But all the slob, mud, sand, and fire, we had to endure. I think was well worth it. Especially the huge cock roaches we had to battle in the classrooms. I'm glad I had that experience of doing that movie, because I am currently living in California, trying to revamp my acting career. Even though I am in a 14 yr drout. lol I don't think anybody who was in the movie is going to read this. Since it was in 1987, and filmed in Japan. A lot of people in the states never even heard about it. In american, the movie was called Drifting Classroom. I don't know why everybody post the Japanese translation. It was also an honor to work with Troy Donahue, and all my other high school classmates.
dauber2 I am seriously biased about this movie as I was in it. My character piggy was a great comical relief as the schools' world became a sandy mess as they were catapulted into the future. So of course I would rate this movie a ten
