Pro Golfer Kinjiro Oribe 4: Shank Shank Shank

About This Movie

So, the fourth installment in the Kinjiro Oribe saga. Tetsuya Takeda brings back our favorite pro golfer for another round, and it’s as quirky as ever. The humor is more slapstick this time, with Kinjiro navigating the absurdities of competitive golf and personal antics. The pacing feels a bit frenetic, which kind of suits the tone, you know? There’s a charm in how it juggles heartfelt moments with over-the-top gags. The practical effects, especially during the golf scenes, are surprisingly well done for a comedy from '97. The performances, particularly from the supporting cast, really add a layer of eccentricity that makes it stand out in the series. It's got that distinct Japanese comedic flair that you either love or find puzzling.
