Part Motorcycle! Part Karate Expert! All Free!

Our friends at Nerd York City are giving away two pairs of tickets to the New York Asian Film Festival's Karate-Robo Zaborgar.

The New York Asian Film Festival is in town starting tomorrow, celebrating its 10th anniversary. NYAFF's a showcase for the biggest, best, most acclaimed, and most disturbing flicks in contemporary Asia, and Nerd York City is offering up two pairs of tickets to one of NYAFF's more disturbing flicks -- the July 5th screening of Karate-Robo Zaborgar!

Based on a 1970s tokusatsu series about a karate-chopping motorcycle robot, director Noboru Iguchi's helmed both a tribute to and send-up of the classic show -- adding in flying cyborg heads, bulldog car robots, samurai kissing monsters, and robot rugby girls we're pretty sure weren't in the original. But we've got no problem with that.
