Fabulous gore fest. Shoddy acting, tasteless gore a go-go - I think this movie is wonderuful! I came across it after pulling through a depraved obsession with Meatball Machine :) Sure, it's not going to be everyones taste, but if you recognise it for what it is you will find an amusing story line, excellently gross battle scenes (Tempura-ing your enemy? Brilliant!) and loveable characters.

When I ordered this film I knew what to expect, a low budget Japanese action film . That was exactly what I got and more , the acting is not going to win any awards and the flow of the plot is inconsistent . The special effects are standard fare and added in the "look this is cool" use of a home fx package. The "story" uses many clichés ( a ninja yakusa enemy ) and the Japanese schoolgirl.
Despite all of the above , it works as pure entertainment and the above features add to the move rather than detract. I enjoyed this film and recommend it highly.

This is actually a really fun movie. I just happen to be one of those people who enjoy the combination of horror and comedy that Asian cinema is so good at producing. Looking for and intelligent, thought provoking existential experience? Then forget it. Want a good nights entertainment with a few friends? Buy this movie. It is very tongue in cheek, and has quite good fx considering the budget. Deserves five stars for pulling off the concept while remaining so hilarious.

Made apparently with an eye on the Western/American video market it tailors the goods to suit the politically correct West. Read more

Gotta love it!
Another great gore movie, it's kinda "cheap-made" but that's what makes it so unique, you can laugh, cry and cheer for them at the same time, you can look for a few trailers first... Read more

Machine Girl, bloody girl
Great fun. The Machine Girl (aka: Kataude mashin gāru) may not deliver in terms of budget, acting or plot quality but what it possesses, and in gory bucketfuls, is over-the-top... Read more

All in the worst possible taste - thankfully!
Given the film has a reputation that came long before it about the high amount of blood and gore on show, you have to say that The Machine Girl doesn't beat around the bush -... Read more

Side-splitting for the wrong reason
I bought this because of the over the top gore and that is exactly what I got. We're talking: severed limbs and stumps geysering blood like a fireman's hose, spurting finger... Read more
