Sushi Typhoon, the outrageous genre label launched last year by Japan’s Nikkatsu Corporation, has splattered the festival scene with a number of flicks, and now five of them are set to attack a wide U.S. audience.

Well Go USA has announced that it has picked up disc, digital, video-on-demand and TV rights to five of Sushi Typhoon’s titles, and will begin unleashing them via DVD, Blu-ray and VOD this fall. The movies included under the deal are:

MUTANT GIRLS SQUAD (review)

HELLDRIVER (pictured above; feature)

YAKUZA WEAPON (review and feature)

DEADBALL (feature)

KARATE-ROBO ZABORGAR

The latter film screens later this month at Montreal’s Fantasia festival, http://www.fantasiafestival.com with more fest play to come for Sushi Typhoon’s productions later this summer and fall. “We are very excited to have secured rights to these ‘neo action gore’ titles, a genre which has seen tremendous growth here in the U.S. and has such passionate and dedicated fans,” says Well Go president Doris Pfardrescher. “We continue to look for interesting and compelling product from Asia to introduce to the North American market.” Keep your eyes on this site for further info on individual disc releases of Sushi Typhoon’s films, and see that company’s official website here.
