Denchû Kozô no Bôken |
Japan • 1987 • 47m •
   • Directed by: Shin'ya Tsukamoto. • Starring: Kei Fujiwara, Nobu Kanaoka, N. Senba, Tomorowo Taguchi, Shin'ya Tsukamoto..   Hikari is a boy who is bullied and teased by the other boys at school because he has the odd distinction of having an electricity pole growing out of his back. However, one of his classmates, a girl named Momo, comes to his rescue. Hikari thanks her by sharing his secret possession with her: a time machine. He then activates the time machine which transports him 25 years into a dark, dystopian, world of the future. There he encounters members of the Shinsengumi Vampire Gang in the process of hunting a woman named Dr. Sariba who is revealed to be Momo's future self. She explains to Hikari that she had been long expecting his arrival from the past and that he has a crucial role to play here -- he and he alone must save the world.

Review:
SPOILERS! If you like your movies fresh, stop reading NOW.
The story line, as told elsewhere in these comments, deals with the Electric Rod Boy and Momo versus a group of Vampire thugs in a future hell scenario (where he also meets a future version of himself). Now, IIRC (it's been about five years since I saw it), the Vampire Gang have a giant machine that they are using to slowly obscure the sun so, when it is fully blacked out, they can rule Earth. In order for the machine to work it needs a virgin (which they get) as a battery!!! Unfortunately for the Vampire Gang one of the higher ups can't control himself and sucks her blood thereby poisoning their doomsday machine! Just thought I'd add those little plot points to what's already been written.
