Minty: The Assassin - Teaser
Add to My Profile | More Videos
Minty: The Assassin, an artsy indie film that honors the wonderful B-movies that pushed the boundaries of American cinema, belongs to the Fantasy/Martial Arts/Superhero/Sci-fi genres. There..s something for everyone... especially fanboys.
It pays homage to the underrated. The film respects the soul of what makes B-movies entertaining; instead of being restricted by a convoluted storyline, Minty: The Assassin focuses on characters -- outrageous personalities that say and do some really unconventional things.
Synopsis:
This fantastic tale revolves around MINTY, a youthful, raven haired, punk rock, feminist, female super heroine, that gets her super powers from eating chocolate (which is a good source of antioxidants).
One day Minty's agent, BIG BOSS, an older and honorable gentlemen, is taken hostage by DOCTOR BRAIN BENDER, the evil neuro-scientist.
Minty then fights her way up various perverse floors of Doctor Brain Bender..s paranormal building to rescue Big Boss. Several unusual villains stand in her way: CAPTAIN CAPABILITY, a freak of nature; SENSATIONAL NINJA, an effeminate assassin; RAT MONSTER, a depressed mutant; BRUCE ZEE, a psycho martial artist; MOLLY LEVIATHAN, a sensual super vixen; ZEN COWBOY, a blindfolded gun-slinger; and DOUBLE DELICIOUS, an intellectual lesbian vampire.
Throughout this wild odyssey, Minty educates her adversaries on the fascinating world of natural science and then uses her beauty, her brains, and pure brutality to demonstrate the biological theory of the survival of the fittest.
