The Japanese: they don’t do things the conventional way – especially when it comes to promoting movies. Take this strange, funny video touting the release of HITCHCOCK. Instead of a standard trailer, we get a Japanese Hitchcock impersonator and his manic friend taking us through some of Hitch’s most memorable films. Can’t say I’ve ever seen anything like it. Apparently the duo are famous comedy team in Japan, so perhaps our readers from the region will recognize them.

And if you don’t speak Japanese, no worries. This will still entertain (and baffle) you thoroughly.
