Japanese overacting slapstick Poirot

https://agathachristie.fandom.com/wiki/Shi_to_no_Yakusoku

Hi all, first post here!

Just wanted to share this lesser known movie I found. It's a fun watch for Poirot fans, but otherwise, this is not really a recommendation. This is not a masterpiece by any means. Just a weird twist of the Agatha Christie story.

I had trouble sourcing it, but found a mediocre quality copy on Dailymotion. I think it could be legitimate since it has some short weird ad breaks with spoilers running in the background. But as I'm not sure if it's legit I'll skip linking to it.

I'll definitely check this out if I can find some English subtitles. I love Poirot, so I'm sure I'll enjoy a parody of him too. Thanks for the recommendation!

Did you manage to find anything?

EDIT: NVM I found a 720p copy with hard-coded subtitles.

Forgot to mention, the dailymotion one has burned on subs

Used to love Poirot as a kid. I'll have to give this a look! It sounds funny to me.
