High Kick Girl – trailer 2
High Kick Girl continues to kick high and be a girl in the second trailer that was posted on the Official site but you will probably have better luck finding it on NipponCinema.com (and watch the behind the scenes clips)
Plot: Kei (Rina Takeda) joins a karate dojo and quickly proves herself to be the most skilled fighter amongst all her male peers. However, her sensei Matsumura still refuses to give her the coveted black belt until she learns all the kata (forms). Too impatient to wait any longer, Kei hastily joins a fighting group called the Destroyers. The Destroyers don’t care about anything but fighting and earning money, and this suits Kei just fine. But when she finds out their true purpose—to destroy Matsumura—she decides she must do whatever it takes to put a stop to them.
There is also a new poster! It looks like a normal Japanese poster so I like it less than the first one.
