Top Knot Detective
Watch TrailerIn the early 1990s, a Japanese samurai detective series was aired in Australia and became a cult success. Titled in Japan Ronin Suiri Tentai (meaning roughly Deductive Reasoning Ronin), it was soon known in the West as Top Knot Detective. The original series was legendary in Japan, a cultural train wreck led by Takashi Tawagoto, a crazy writer, producer, director and lead actor; one who could not act, fight or write at all.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Top Knot Detective has mixed reviews with a rating of 6.5/10. Good for a relaxed evening without high expectations.
Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.
Released in 2017, this film holds up just as well today. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
