The Machine Girl

This movie is just awesome. You got a cute girl brutally killing bad guys...what more could you want? The action is so over the top that it is downright hilarious. This movie is NOT meant to be taken seriously. This is my new favorite movie. I have never written a review before, but I had to on this one because it needs to be in your collection. What are you waiting for? Buy it now!

Laugh-out-Loud splatter fest that is way over the top. This is a great movie for those looking for a fun movie outside of the hollywood recycle machine. If your looking for 'high-art' or 'culture' then this is not for you and should be avoided at all costs. But, if you want to watch a movie that you and your friends will be talking about for a very long time - then this is your movie.

The number 1 reason to buy this movie immediately is because "Wrestleanimaniac" hated it...nuff said.

At first, I got shocked when I saw this movie's trailer, and second I got shocked again because that movie was really stupidly silly.
If you think this is about real japanese culture, you are silly too.
YAKUZA dont use the sword usually and never use "shuriken" which is like , Ninja used to through in the past.
This is one of the completely prejudice, stereo type, misunderstanding movie.
This is not funny at all and I got bored in the middle of the movie so I did not watch whole movie but hey, what is the point of this movie ?
If you wanna waste your time , then watch it.
I dont know why US people tend to like this kind of movie.
We have tons of awesome movies that you maybe accept.
US and foreign people tend to see japan as exotic, traditional asian country but it is completely misunderstanding. YES, Y.E.S, we have traditional culture that is similar with chinese one but it is not the thing what you already know.
Anyway, this was stupid movie ever.

Machine Girl (Noboru Iguchi, 2008)

It's been a week since I watched this movie, and still the only word I can come up with to describe it is WHAT. Machine Girl is... something different, that's for sure. A spoof of action/horror movies that's never quite over-the-top enough to tip you off that the director isn't taking it seriously, a camp classic where the acting isn't quite truly bad enough to qualify, a special-effects extravaganza where the special effects are just fake enough to let you know it's not a special-effects extravaganza... you get the idea. If it wanted to be all those things and fell just short, it's as massive a failure of a movie as I've seen in years. If, however, it's supposed to be that way, it's genius.

So anyway, there's not a great deal of plot here. No surprise. Ami (porn actress Asami) is a schoolgirl whose brother is killed by bullies, one of whom is the son of the local Yakuza branch. When she tries to get revenge, she loses her left arm. She teams up with Miki (softcore actress Honoka), the mother of one of Ami's brother's friends who was also killed in the attack, and Miki teaches Ami martial arts while her husband makes Ami a machine-gun arm. And, well, you can guess what happens from there.

Machine Girl is nothing more than stupid fun, and if you go into it with that attitude, you'll have a good time. It's not meant to be deathless cinema (at least, I don't think it is), just a fun time you can use to while away ninety minutes. And in that vein, it's great stuff-- cheesy dialogue, over-the-top painfully fake gore, lots of one-liners. If you're looking for great moviemaking, look elsewhere, but I think most folks would have a lot of fun with this one. ***

If you like Planet Terror, than you'll love Machine Girl. This one armed, one gatlin gun armed girl will blow you away. It's cheese at its best. A cult classic like Evil Dead. Haven't seen this much blood in a movie since I don't know when. When a girl seeks revenge for the death of her brother, all heck breaks loose. Filled with imaginitive death scenes and more blood than the sea has water, you laugh, cringe and have a great time. Only downside was when the girl loses her arm, they do a terrible time trying to hide it in her recovery scenes.
