How it feels

In a small port town, corrupt developers and yakuza are forcing residents out of their homes. Two down-on-their-luck sign painters team up with a man who draws a parody superhero comic that secretly mocks the villains. They use the comic to rally the townspeople and fight back against the powerful crooks.

What happens

『正義だ!味方だ!全員集合!!』(せいぎだ! みかただ! ぜんいんしゅうごう!!)は、1975年に制作されたドリフターズ主演の「全員集合シリーズ」および松竹ドリフ映画最後の作品。 横浜に近い港町、伊勢浜。 町の権力者・熊田(金子信雄)とヤクザの大神(伊東四朗)率いる大神組は再開発と称し、住民に不当な地上げを行っていた。 不景気でつぶれた広告屋、いや、チンドン屋の錨長太郎と中西弘次は、世論を動かすと住民に呼び掛けインチキ広告屋を始めるが所詮付け焼き刃であった。万策尽き、行き詰まっていた錨は事務所の前で首を吊っていた加藤ヒデオと出会う。酩酊状態の彼が描いた劇画『ゴリレンジャー』(『秘密戦隊ゴレンジャー』のパロディ)が、熊田と大神組の悪事を皮肉った内容だと気付いた錨は、それを町の人々に配布し世論を動かす事に成功。事業が軌道に乗り始めたに見えたが、その物語には秘密があった… (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
