A most surprising movie discovery

So, yeah, I ran across this one while poking about somewhere. With a title like "Mechanical Violator Hakaider" a movie from Japan couldn't possibly not involve schoolgirls and gut-wrenching perversion. But, the description promised robotic motorcycle battles in dystopian Neo-Jerusalem, so I pressed boldly on.

To my shock it was entirely clean(It also sucked, alas; but that is another story). I can't believe that I've found the intersection between the set of movies that have "violator" in the title and movies that are safe for the impressionable young'uns.

If you can understand the romanization of the Japanese title, you'll figure out that "Mechanical Violator" is a horrible mis-translation (not surprising, since the film is made in 95). A more appropriate title should be "Android"
