Shiatsu with Pat Morita

About This Movie

So, 'Shiatsu with Pat Morita' is a curious piece from '86, right? It’s not your typical instructional video or documentary, more like a laid-back chat where Pat shares his passion for shiatsu massage. The vibe is super relaxed, almost like you're just hanging out with him. It's intriguing how the pacing flows with Pat’s warmth and humor. There's this woman in rolled-up jean shorts, just kind of there, which adds to the odd, almost whimsical atmosphere. The whole experience feels unique, more about the conversation than actual technique, making it distinct in the realm of massage videos. Definitely one for those who appreciate the offbeat side of '80s media and Morita's charm.

This film hasn't seen extensive re-releases, making it a bit of a rarity among collectors. Originally distributed on VHS, copies are somewhat sought after, especially in good condition. There’s a charming, almost cult-like interest in Pat Morita’s work outside of his more popular films, which adds to the appeal of owning this peculiar snippet of '80s wellness culture.
