Ami (Minase Yashiro, in her film debut) is a tough but otherwise average high school girl, trying to lead a normal life. Her world comes crashing down when her brother and his friend are killed by ruthless bullies. As Ami tracks down the ringleader, she is surprised to discover the bullies' association with a sinister ninja yakuza family. When she goes after her revenge, she soon finds herself in over her head and minus her left arm. Barely surviving, Ami escapes and seeks out shelter from two kindly garage mechanics. They take pity on her, fitting her with a high-powered machine gun where her arm used to be. She then teams up with the chainsaw-wielding mother (Asami) of her brother's slain friend and together they unleash an unholy, non-stop, over-the-top kill fest against the equally creative machinery (drill bra, flying guillotine) of their relentless ninja enemies. « short desciption

Okay, so a girl's brother and his friend are killed by bullies.
The girl seeks revenge.
And from there chaos ensues...
If you like rotary machine guns, chainsaws, hot oil, electrocution via a puddle of urine, nails in the face, limbs flying through the air, a totally hot hero, heads in your soup, and drill bras(yeah, you read that right, drill bras), then you need to see this movie. It has a decent, although cliche, storyline and the voice-over actors don't sound like cartoon characters. I saw Tokyo Gore Police before this one and knowing it was made by the same people I was worried. But this is an actually good movie with more than enough blood and guts to satisty anybody.

Can this film get anymore darn entertaining than it already was? Hard to say because it was already so darn entertaining!! Oh man this so rocked! I was just floored at the amount of blood, mutilation and sheer perversity contained in this film! It was like Japanese Grand Guignol! Honestly, Meatball Machine has nothing on this flick, not one single thing. The Machine Girl had ninjas, yakuza, pinky violence, Japanese schoolgirls, torture, amputations, mutilation, bras with drills and a healthy respect for films like Grindhouse: Planet Terror and Army of Darkness!
Believe it or not I was so mesmerized with the Japanese schoolgirls and gore that I really can't even come up with something wrong with this film! That so rarely happens with me as very little can really claim to be perfect. I suppose if push came to shove I'd say some of the acting was a tad off but, as I've stated many times before, it was all in Japanese so it could have been packed with Oscar award-winning performances and I wouldn't know the difference. Entertaining is entertaining and this was perhaps the best darn film I've seen thus far in 2008. Call me an immature, pervy goremonger but this was glorious.
I was sold on this about halfway through the film. It was so entertaining that I purchased it and will no doubt watch it again many many more times. If you're a fan of films like Kakko Kamen, Meatball Machine and Tokyo Gore Police, why not check this little low budget gem out and prepare to be amazed! Three cheers for Iguchi! Here's hopin' for a sequel!

Do yourself a huge favor. See Planet Terror, with great cast (Bruce Wllis, Josh Brolin, Freddy Rodriguez, Rose McGowan) and by legendary director.

In the vein of ridiculous splatterfests like Ichi the Killer and Dead Alive comes The Machine Girl, an over the top and absurdly violent revenge film straight out of Japan. The story revolves around Ami (Minase Yashiro), a schoolgirl out for revenge against the Yakuza for the death of her brother. In the process she loses her arm, and has it replaced with an ultra heavy-duty machine gun! Alongside her is Miki (Asami), whose son was a victim to said Yakuza as well; and both plot a path of bloody revenge. Filled with some deliberately over the top cheesey moments to correlate with the massive amounts blood-letting and limb chopping, The Machine Girl is definitely not something meant for all tastes, but if any of this sounds appealing to you in the least, then this is something that you should definitely see to believe. With ninjas, a group of "super mourners", deep friars, and drill bras; The Machine Girl is a delicious bloody blast that deserves your attention.

My guess is that Noboru Iguchi, the director of Machine Girl, has been keeping a journal of the most creative and disgusting ways to separate a person from his various body parts. He sits down in a dark room under a low-watt light bulb, and with each entry he throws his head back and cackles. His parents can hear him from upstairs and they wonder...
Hee emerges weeks later with The Machine Girl. He pushes a red button, and his minions come cowering into the room. He pitches the idea, and they nod fervently, drooling with approval. Iguchi then orders them away and to come back with a plot synopsis. They scurry off.
One of them comes back with this: "Ami is a tough but otherwise average high school girl, trying to lead a normal life. Her world comes crashing down when her brother and his friend are killed by ruthless bullies."
Iguchi slams his hand on the table, unsheathes a sword that we weren't aware of until now, and then separates the fool's head from his shoulders. The other minion recoil in fear. Iguchi demands a new synopsis.
I, yes I, emerge. With this: "Girl with a half arm, attaches a Gatling gun to her stump and goes ballistic on a gang lord family. Cough syrup squirts from every human orifice."
Iguchi raises his sword, but I have already ran off. I did not stick around to see him lick the goulash residue from his sword, smiling in approval. "Exceeellleent" he sez with a demonic grin.
Unfortunately, my synopsis didn't test well with the focus groups or the distributors, and so they defaulted to the first one.
But trust me, friends, my synopsis sums up what you'll see in Machine Girl.
