From Big Magnum, Kuroiwa Sensei, d. Kazuhiko Yamaguchi (1985)
Big Magnum, Kuroiwa Sensei has all of the subtlety of a big budget episode of Rentaghost starring Cannon and Ball. A big talking teacher in a cowboy hat tries to bring order to an unruly school with a 44 Magnum, although he turns out to be a snivelling coward who wears a nappy. Later on, the mantle is taken up by a weedy bespectacled guy who, after extreme provocation, becomes a leather clad vigilante super hero. After triumphing in a big Western type fight that has elements of Mad Max, he flies off in a private plane to tame another school. It's all based on a very popular Manga series, so it must make sense to someone.
Anyway, when the insufferable 'kids' of the school aren't causing mayhem in class, they are at a local nightclub, body popping and breakdancing to a bland and boring new wave J-pop disco band where most of the members wear WW2 German uniforms.
