About This Movie

Yummy in Neon Town: I Am Ready to Be Eaten offers a raw glimpse into the lives of four bar girls navigating the chaotic nightlife of a vibrant but unforgiving world.

It’s the contrast of the glitzy nightlife against the harsh realities they face that makes this film stand out, a true artifact of its time.

This film is relatively scarce in physical formats, with a few VHS releases that are hard to come by. Its cult status among collectors stems from its unique portrayal of 1970s nightlife and its underground vibes. The lack of a known director adds to its mystique, leading to debates and discussions among enthusiasts about its origins and intentions. As a result, finding a good copy—especially in decent condition—can be quite a treasure hunt.
