Purely Joyful Movie!

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I loved this movie! In the tradition of Kill Bill, we have an Asian version of the over-the-top blood and guts, Tarrantino style revenge thriller. It's going to take a prayer and a half to stop The Machine Girl, who is out for blood after her brother was wrongfully thrown off of a building. Her brother owed money, and was in debt, and everyone knows that by murdering the person who owes you money, well, that's the best way to get your money back, right? The movie does not fall short of any man or woman who dares to get in the way of this pyst off little girl! She loses her hand in a battle where she is outnumbered, and is helped by a unsuspecting source that wishes to help her get healed up, and also...better prepare herself for what's to come. Make no mistake, she was a very good ninja before...but now, she's out for an unthinkable revenge, and where her hand used to be, now rests pounds of steel, rapid firing bullets, and a blast of fury! Their only salvation from The Machine Girl, is that she runs out of bullets, because she sure won't run out of moving targets. The violence is campy yet stylish at times, more then often just plain silly, but that's the type of movie in its genre. It's almost non stop action, fused with humor, and plenty of blood to satisfy the gore hounds. It's also the only movie I've seen in my life that has a drill bra scene ( got your attention, eh?) Get it while it's s(hot)!

This is so over the top full of gore that even if you aren't into Asian flicks you will love it. Everything gorehounds love is available in this entertaining flick. The red stuff is sputtering all over bodies, even on the camera lens. There are decapitations, ninja fighting, bodies been cut in two, beheading, bodies being burned an of course you just can't take it seriously. If someone would encounter the things that are happening with the main lead you just won't survive it. But if you watch the opening credits than it's clear that they wanted to make some kind of exploitation. The surely succeeded in it. There are naturally some use of CGI and some cheap effects or stupid mistakes for example when one of the girls is being killed you still can see her heart beating in her neck. Nevertheless, big fun. And I was lucky to have met Asami, one of the coming stars in the genre, she was so friendly, I even had signed this DVD and had a picture together with her.

Not all movies have to be cerebral and thought provoking. One of the main reason for movies is for escapism and just fun viewing. Machine girl is fun viewing.Its about a girl who in a quest for revenge gets her armed chopped off by the baddies. She survives and gets a Gatling gun prosthesis. Along the way, a lot of fights and of course blood.Did I mention blood, the machine girl Ami (Minase Yashiro) looks incredibly cute with blood splatters on her face and she manages to pull of her action sequences quite well as well. The acting isn't bad for this genre and unlike others of this genre it isn't as silly.If you are new into the gore films, this would be a good intro.

There's something disturbing about American filmmakers going to other cultures to borrow porn tropes. "Kill Bill" just never seemed right, like a traditional Jewish grandmother making Tacos for her goyim daughter-in-law's brownie troop because she thought that's what it was all about.Today, when we watch influential French new wave films, we laugh when we see that much of what they thought movies were about was poses of actors that had become cultural tokens. We see how shallow that vocabulary is for all its power. That is why, if I want to experience pure trash for whatever reason, it needs to be genuine trash. That's what this is. It is empty and offensively trivial but at least it is pure, genuine. That gives us as viewers something to build a story upon, because it exists and is popular. Kids, panties, coy girls turned terrifying ninjas. Injury always as explosive demonstration. Parents as swirling misdirected forces. You can get something from this because it is situated in its source. Seeing a fecund Rose McGowan with a machine gun leg killing those looking up her crotch, is fundamentally different from the frail, barely pubescent sister with the machine gun arm.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.
