Watch Weather Woman For Free

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Nice effects though.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This is a very Japanese movie, and as such, much of the satirical humor was lost on me. Still you can tell that it is a very wry and clever movie that doesn't insult its audience by assuming that they will watch anything as long as there are enough naked women it--something very unusual for a sexploitation film from ANY country. The movie concerns a Keiko, substitute weather girl, high-wire karate expert, and chronic masturbator who manages to take the regular weather girls place by flashing her panties on the air. This somehow leads her to the top of the struggling network. The unfortunate former weather girl has to become her personal (topless)maid whose job includes licking the soap bubbles off her body after she takes a bath in her private suite. There's also some weird dominatrix scene involving a male ad. exec. who tries unsuccessfully to get Keiko fired, and, of course, a musical number or two.So far, so sexploitative, but then the plot kicks in when the Paris-educated daughter of the elderly station owner shows up and gets the weather girl fired via a sex scandal (apparently flashing your panties--or lack thereof--on live TV is not considered scandalous in Japan). The movie then quickly descends into bizarro/manga territory as Keiko teams up with a male admirer (who, outside of Japan,would be called a stalker) to take supernatural revenge by "harnessing the power of the weather" in an elaborate ritual involving a thunderstorm, a lightning rod, self-flagellation, and of course much more female masturbation and gratuitous nudity. Still it is a pretty enjoyable film and, if nothing else, you're pretty unlikely to see anything like it again (at least outside of Japan).

Wonderful little movie that originally came out on video, but then due to it's success at Internation film festivals, it was re-released at the cinema.It's a fantastic parody of the absurdities of fame and the media, about how a Weatherwoman becomes famous and powerful merely by showing a glimpse of her panties during her broadcast.Apart from exploring this aspect and poking fun at the fame system, and how stupid fame is and how absurdly it can be achieved, it's story revolves around the Weatherwoman displaced by the panty flasher, the Western educated daughter of the Network Chairman (who wants control of the Network for herself) and their scheme to get rid of her - which involves - I kid you not - making the ex-weatherwoman the naked sex slave of the panty flashing one, and secretly filming their lesbian romps for airing (!!)The "climax" (in the non-sexual sense) involves the maga-esque duel between the Chairman's daughter and the panty flasher, who both use their magical weather controlling powers against each other in a live battle to the death !Excellent film ! Insightful, clever, surreal and sexy !Kei Mizutani as the voluptuous, sexy, power crazed, fame hungry, Weatherwoman of the title proves that beautiful former models really CAN act, she's a real star !Trivia Item: Saori Taira, who plays the displaced Weatherwoman, was famous in real life because she insured her breasts for $1 million (making her the ideal person to act in a movie about the absurdities of "fame")

This is a great little film with lots of interesting (and hilarious and erotic) twists and turns. I'm always a little put off when I hear "satire", but this is satire that never descends into cynicism. The film makers obviously enjoyed making this. I also highly recommend the sequel, "Weather Woman Returns", which is just as good.

I've always been a fan of crazy, erotic asian romps, and this comedy is one of the best. Hell, there's even a lesbian sex scene thrown in with no relevance at all(not that I was worried). It was followed by a mild sequel that isn't worth seeing, but this one(based on a popular manga comic strip) certainly is. You'll never look at your local TV weatherperson the same way after this.
