Young race car driver Miki Jiro is scouted and recruited by a top-secret government agency known as ESPY after he inadvertently releases his inert psychic abilities on the race course. The team's mission is to track down a group of evil psychics who wish to cause a third world war that would wipe out all normal humans, leaving those with psychic abilities to rule the world. The ESPY team travels across the globe as their teamwork, humanity, and abilities are all put to the test. Edit Translation

An obscure slice of brilliance
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, this is hands down Jun Fukuda's best movie. ESPY knows its premise is utterly bonkers and just runs with it; part 007, part B-grade exploitation and with a dash of Scanners, it's all exceptional fun. It's a film that fits right at home with old ITC shows like The Protectors due to its gorgeous globe-trotting gentlemen spy aesthetic but with that classic 70s tokusatsu twist. Fantastic direction, incredible music, deliciously camp with just the right amount of head explosions and teleporting nonsense to keep anyone entertained. While I may not love his Godzilla flicks, by god I will champion ESPY as Fukuda's finest till the day I die.Was this review helpful to you?
