Kabuto-O Beetle
Watch TrailerIn Japan there is a wrestler. His name is legendary. His sombrero is enormous. His mask is cool. His name is BEETLE, THE HORN KING. A masked wrestler with his own theme song and the strength and agility of the mighty horn beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis), he fights for truth, justice and fairness in wrestling around the world with his homies, the International Masked Wrestler Association. But alien wrestlers based on lesser insects have invaded the planet and acted in a rude and disgusting manner. Now they must be laid low with Helicopter Kicks. Directed by Japan's hottest new comedy auteur, Minoru Kawasaki, BEETLE, THE HORN KING is the ultimate collision of masked Mexican wrestlers, Japanese sci fi and bug-loving weirdness

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a glorious collision of lucha libre theatrics, tokusatsu aesthetics, and unapologetically cheap sci-fi. It explores themes of honor and absurdity through a lens of pure, joyful nonsense, relying on cardboard sets and infectious energy rather than logic.
What lingers after the final Helicopter Kick is the sheer delight of its commitment to being utterly, wonderfully stupid. A perfect antidote to cinematic self-importance. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Minoru Kawasaki

With beer, friends, and zero expectations for coherence. Embrace the plastic bug helmets.
