IKÉ BOYS - Turkey Shenanigans
I did not partake or film any of that. But I did partake in the filming of other scenes.
Iké Boys is a tokusatsu homage to Japanese film from an American otakus point of view. Around the start of the pandemic, many of the American crews opted out on traveling abroad to film the Japan scenes. This lead to a local DP, David Allen, taken the place of Ed Wu. Nino Campolongo and myself took the place of AC to film three scenes and a few days of Godzilla like special effects right by the US Air Force base in Yokota.
Traveler’s tip: my personal favorite Mexican food in Tokyo can be found nearby. Mike’s Tex-Mex.
