Geishas are to Japan as celebutatnes are to the US — the feminine ideal that the rest of the world equates with each country. Only instead of public drunkenness, nipple slips and STDs, geishas are known for their refinement, education and wearing less makeup than their American counterparts.

On second thought, the two really aren’t like.

Anyway, seeing as how Japan is Japan, the upcoming movie RoboGeisha answers the question that everyone wants answered: why can’t real geishas turn into tanks? Or have katanas come out of their ass, switchblade-style? Because if they could, they would have a huge huge leg up on ass-kicking when compared to their occidental nemesises who, at best, makes it burn when you pee.

These are serious questions people — and the trailer below has the answers.
