Kaufman and Herz’s film is just an entertaining, zany, and proudly politically incorrect diversion...

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

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

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

Brilliant, terrible, cheesy, ludicrous, possibly racist, and very funny. It's Troma, folks

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

Kinda fun, but too sloppy to be very memorable. Not nearly as polished or inventive as The Toxic Avenger.
