She's been ridden long and she's been ridden hard, but when that old truck is the only thing your father left you besides a pile of bills, how else is a girl going to make a living? That's how Nami became the hottest thing on wheels, taking any load offered up the back roads of Japan and delivering whatever's been ordered, no questions asked, C.O.D., A.S.A.P. Unfortunately, Nami's drive to become debt free is full of speed bumps like obsessive cops and cheating rival truckers, major detours like old acquaintances who want to be more than "just friends," and one big pot hole in the form of Momoko, an eager beaver truck stop hooker with a heart of gold, a brain of tofu and a desperate yen to become Nami's partner. And all that's just a warm up for what happens when a package belonging to a gang of dim but ruthless gangsters somehow ends up in Nami's back end! Get ready for hijackings, high balling and the most crazed hijinks to ever hit the highways and byways of Japan as everyone tries to worm their way into Nami's flatbed in BIG, BAD MAMA-SAN - DEKOTORA 1!

I was hoping for more truck action and got something else instead.

Gag Dubs RULE!
Big Bad Mama-San is a movie about a female trucker, her maybe-love interest, and the dumbest hooker to ever live. The movie features a hilarious gag dub from the folks who brought us "Lake Texarkana Gamera" and most of the Japanese characters end up sounding like Texas Rednecks. It also features "The ENFORCINATOR" the greatest cop ever! Oh and some drug smugglers. It you enjoy bad movies (of the MST3K variety) this title is FOR YOU!

Very unique and Funny!
Hilarious "gag" dub of an actual Japanese "trucker" live action film. The Japanese lead in this movie is a former adult film actress who has gone mainstream. If you're an anime fan, listen very carefully to the English dub voices...for obvious reasons there are only stage names listed in the credits of this raunchy comedy, but to the discerning anime fan ear, you can pick out some familiar voices. Smile and keep them to yourself. The actors use stage names to protect their brand and fans need to respect that. This "Gag" dub is very much in the spirit of "Lake Texarkana Gamera" (look it up on YouTube). Think 70s trucker movie only set in modern Japan with a very sassy, sexy lead.

The trucks are the real stars.
The description and trailer for this only real tell part of the truth. This is supposed to be a story about Nami and how she makes a living trying to repay her father's debts. It isn't really. The sub-plot about with the yakuza is very swiftly completed, etc. The real story is the "dumbest hooker ever" and how she finds Nami and redemption. It's quite poignant in the end but doesn't really rescue the film. There is the expected brief nudity, bad acting, and awkward sex scenes. The real novelty are the decorated trucks. Give this a pass.

A good time!
I actually really enjoyed this movie. The action is fun and the characters are likable. There isn't a ton of plot but it's very enjoyable throughout, and of course the is the prerequisite fan service scenes. I have to admit, I even felt a bit teary towards the end of the movie. It's honestly pretty touching. Definitely give this movie a shot!

this is fun. I don't understand Japanese so I don't know ...
As stated in previous reviews, this is fun. I don't understand Japanese so I don't know what the intended dialog might be but the english dub is funny. There are a few good nude scenes and the actresses are cute but not the strength of this movie.

Good "B" flick
This is a funny "B" flick the chicks are hot but is almost like the Japanise version of a Cinimax after 10 PM movie
