Straight to video horror/comedy directed by Minoru Kawasaki
「日本沈没」を筒井康隆がパロディ化した同名小説を、「いかレスラー」「コアラ課長」の鬼才・河崎実監督が映画化した異色作。2011年、原因不明の天変地異により日本以外のすべての陸地が沈没。日本には世界中から難民たちが押し寄せ、大パニックとなる。「あずみ」の小橋賢児や「カミュなんて知らない」の柏原収史ら人気若手俳優の出演に加え、元祖映画版とテレビ版で主演を務めた藤岡弘、と村野武範も豪華共演を果たしている。
A spot-on, hilarious spoof of 1970s Japanese TV cop shows, THE RUG COP follows chrome-domed officer Genda as he transfers to a new precinct just as a group of radical terrorists hijack a shipment of uranium and deliver a ransom demand of five billion yen. Genda and his crack team of detectives must solve the case using their peculiar abilities: champion eater Detective Fatty, abnormally endowed Detective Big Dick, speedy weightlifter Detective Shorty, and ladies man Mr. Handsome. But most dangerous of all is the Rug Cop, whose projectile toupee proves lethal to wrongdoers! Kawasaki s unique comic genius and his love of vintage cop shows combine to produce a silly masterpiece that will have viewers truly believing in Rug Power!
