Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Kaufman and Herz’s film is just an entertaining, zany, and proudly politically incorrect diversion... Dec 26, 2022 Full Review Gerry Shamray Your Movies (cleveland.com) The best of the Troma films. Rated: 4/5 Apr 13, 2003 Full Review Ken Hanke Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Great title, lousy movie Rated: 1/5 Aug 21, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

BigD J Kubukiman was surprisingly great! This film had me cracking up! So ridiculous and over the top zany antics. Some rare PG-13 nudity just for a little added fun. The 80's and early 90's were a time unparalleled and this one was no exception, classic Troma gloriousness. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/15/23 Full Review Audience Member SGT. Kabukiman, N.Y.P.D. establishes yet another lasting Troma Entertainment character for the world of Tromaville yet again. A original hybrid in the crime stopping profession. 5/5 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member In the late 80's Troma Pictures was given $1,500,000 in funding by a Japanese production company in order to make a family movie about a crime fighting Kabukiman. The moral of the story: people with morals should not be giving Lloyd Kaufman money. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Extremely stupid and pointless, but great fun! Many scenes had me rolling with laughter. If you are into B-movie action and comedy Sgt. Kabukiman defines it perfectly. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Kinda fun, but too sloppy to be very memorable. Not nearly as polished or inventive as The Toxic Avenger. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Incredibly dumb and badly acted, yet somehow endearing. There are shades of The Mask here, despite coming out 4 years beforehand. Some parts are actually quite funny but a lot of it (the clown segment in particular) is just dull. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
