Product Description
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.System Requirements:Running Time: 96 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/CRIME Rating: NR UPC: 631595073980 Manufacturer No: TSDVD0739

 Great schlock-party film - a TON of laughs October 11, 2008
If you have a taste at all for cult off the wall films, I think tihs movie ranks as a must see.
I saw the trailer a few months before it was released and I couldn't wait until I oculd get a copy of this movie. To celebrate the occasion I got a group of people from work to watch together. A good time was had by all, as most people can not help themselves but laugh at the action sequences in this film. I've watched a lot of B movies and this movie definately has some unique death scenes.
I don't know how anyone can not walk away from this movie without experiencing a few laughs. The special effects are cheesy but are surprisingly well done for the most part.
Surprisingly, I picked this up from my local Walmart for a very cheap price. It is not rated which is why they probably stock it. I would definately rank this movie as one of my favorite DVD releases this year. Check it out!
 Fountains of Blood for U October 10, 2008
The jilted star of "The Machine Girl" is really mean and really HOT. Although you could accept either of these alone to head your average Tokyo submission - together they amount to the whole rather than the sum of it's parts - as in BODY parts. Cartoonish revenge storytelling is nothing new(that means you Kill Bill)and the real appeal of this offering is to take the most apealing ccncept of US release "Planet Terror" (you know - walking on a leg of a machine gun can make any woman a PMS marathon) into an hand gun (excuse me - ARM GUN) army. Our hero easily dispatches her foes whoes blood pressure is not obstructed by cholesterol or artery hardening qualities.
Machine Girl- October 6, 2008
If you liked Kill Bill, or Godzilla (the old one with the guy in the rubber monster suit) then this is the film for you.
The fight scenes are so over the top, they remind one of the encounter between King Arthur and the Black Knight in "Monty Python and The Holy Grail". How does that go? King Arthur:"Yer arm's off!" Black Knight:"It's just a flesh wound!" Yeah! It's like that, but in Japanese, and I suppose it was meant to be taken seriously. Good Luck with that :-)

WELCOME TO THE MACHINE September 23, 2008
For the most part I've tried to write here about mainstream DVDs being released. On occasion I've chosen to let you know about other films making their way to direct DVD release. Today let's look at something else. Movies that never see release in the US (or at best limited release) that find their way to DVD. The subject in question is THE MACHINE GIRL.
For anyone unfamiliar with the latest trend in Japanese films, it's not the horror films being remade non-stop. Instead, it's a gore drenched action adventure films that are over the top in their depictions and filled with blood soaked humor. When someone gets cut, they don't bleed, they gush fountains of blood literally.
THE MACHINE GIRL starts out with action from the get go. When a group of young punks attack an innocent pair of school kids, a lone girl dressed in school uniform dress comes to their aid. This is no ordinary girl though. This is Ami and she is on a mission to seek revenge against this very gang for destroying her family.
The battle kicks off in high flying ninja-martial arts style, fist to fist. But all changes when Ami reveals that she's missing an arm. A quick pop into her school backpack, and she's now sporting a gattling gun where the lost appendage would normally be. And she knows how to use said gun as she begins cutting her way through bad guys, splitting one right down the middle.
The story moves to flashback where we learn how it all began. Ami and her brother live on their own, their parents having been killed. Her brother is picked on by the local teen gang led by the son of a Yakuza (think Japanese Mafia) boss. When her brother and his best friend are killed by the gang,
Ami tries to get the help of a local law enforcement official who turns out to be the father of one of the gang members. The mother attacks Ami, forcing her hand and arm down into a boiling pot of tempura being cooked, resulting in a terribly burnt arm covered in the batter. Barely escaping, Ami sets out to get revenge the old fashioned way.
Too bad because the Yakuza boss captures her in his house and rather than atone for his son's actions, applauds them and tortures Ami, finally cutting off her arm in a garden hose type squirting sequence that is so far over the top you find yourself thinking "Where do they come up with this stuff?"
Ami escapes and with the help of the mother of her brother's best friend, a mechanic, is outfitted with the afore mentioned gattling type machine gun for an arm. When the Yakuza turns up to catch her once more, Ami opens fire and takes out the highly trained ninja's who attack, leaving them a bloody pulp.
Subsequent revenge attacks on the rest of the gang, leads to their parents forming themselves into a combat outfit supplied by the Yakuza boss to take on Ami and the mechanic mom. The final blood gorged battle between them makes for one of the goriest sequences ever filmed.
So is the film entertaining? Yeah, it is. As I said, it's so far over the top as to be cartoonish in the gore and blood flow. The ultra violent world of Japanese anime goes further than this film, so it's little more than one of those cartoons come to life.
If you laugh at absurd extremism then this film should have you falling on the floor laughing. If you have a more subdued taste or find gore not to your liking then by all means pass this one by. And if you're just kind of curious to see what other cultures do when they make movies in their native tongue, then give this one a try. Afterwards you might even be ready to take on OLDBOY, another over the top violent flick that's become a cult fave among DVD owners.
It's not for everyone, but this film does offer something new, something fresh, something different. If that sounds interesting to you, give this one a look.
