Movie Reviews of The Machine Girl
Movie Review: Finger Sushi, Drill Bras, Chainsaws, Ninjas, Tempura Arm and the Machine Gun Arm!
Summary: 5 Stars
This review is from; The Machine Girl
If you enjoy over-the-top Japanese action flicks such as "Ichi the Killer" & "Battle Royale" then this movie is right up your alley. I can't help, but think the lead actress's machine-gun arm was influenced by Rose McGowen's machine-gun leg in Rober Rodriguez's "Planet Terror". The action in this movie is non-stop and the blood sprays farther than your backyard sprinkler. This is a very, gory movie, but it is actually comedic to watch because it is so silly. A chef is forced to eat his own fingers served "sushi style". Talking about finger food! the lady's drill bra is a trip to watch! Sorry, but the tempura arm actually made me hungry because it looked so crunchy and fluffy on the outside!
In a nut shell, the film is about a young lady's brother & friend who are brutally murdered by the son of Japanese Yakuza and his own friends. After an unsuccessful revenge attempt she survives, but her arm is unforunatley severed. After seeking refuge in the parents' house of her brother's slain friend, she is nursed back to health and her arm is outfitted with the "hardware". From then on, the violence driven by revenge ensues in extreme fashion!
As for the DVD it's a solid release by Tokyo Shock. Widescreen transfer, Japanese or English 5.1 language and subtitles. There is a 10 minute featurette with behind the scenes footage and cast interviews in Japanese with English subtitles. The trailer for "the Machine Girl" is included as well as trailers for other Tokyo Shock films.
Overall, this is fantastic and fun to watch for fanatics like me who appreciate unusual, over-the-top cinema like this, but not so for the light-hearted viewers! Can only be appreciated if you have a "sick" sense of humor for the extreme!
