Demeking (1998)
Original title: 痴漢電車 弁天のお尻
Demeking is a 1998 Japanese-language drama movie directed by Shinji Imaoka, with a running time of 1h 22m. It stars Takuji Suzuki, Yoko Chosokabe and Yumeka Sasaki.
When he is hit by a car on the street, the young man Daikoku foresees the monster Demking appearing at the end of the century. In preparation for the coming confrontation with the Demeking, he organizes a modern-day Seven Lucky Gods composed entirely of antisocial people. This is a utopian epic that, despite the ridiculousness of the story, is the most powerful depiction of the motifs seen in the first two films, which attempt to play on the sense of apocalypse through unrealistic imagination, while staying within a tenuous sense of reality.
