School in the Crosshairs (1981) – Nobuhiko Obayashi.
Plucky heroine Yuko (Hiroku Yakushimaru) teams up with amiable, Kendo-savvy buddy Kouji (Ryouichi Takayanagi) to courageously battle fascist alien oppressors in Obayashi's cult Sci-actioner School in the Crosshairs. A deliriously inventive, neon-hued admixture of pulp Sci-fi spectacle, telekinetic action teens, and synapse-sizzling psychedelic interludes! With assured genre maestro Obayashi at the helm, this compelling, hugely likeable, zestily entertaining feature provides uproariously escapist fare! The kinetic, whimsical, beguilingly eccentric, high school showdown remains a patently joyous viewing experience, concluding thunderously in a kaleidoscopically colourful, memorably mental finale!
