Product Description
Outrageous action following schoolgirl Ami (Minase Yashiro) as she seeks revenge on the Japanese mafia. Ami's life is changed forever when her younger brother, who owes money to the son of a Yakuza boss, is killed. The gang then cut off Ami's arm to remind her not to mess with them. However, Ami is determined to avenge her brother's death. She recovers from her injury with the help of a mechanic who builds her a new arm - a machine gun! Intent on destruction, Ami goes in search of the members of the Yakuza clan.

Ninjas, Yakuza, cartoon violence, pretty japanese girls (and boys) and a devilish drill bra - what is not to like? Hilarious and completely over the top japanese pulp that had me laughing for the duration - not since "The Evil Dead" have I seen such special effects and buckets of gore. The villains are so ultra-villainous (even the parents of the evil teenagers engage in the ultra-violence) and Ami's brother is so ultra-saintly (he appears occasionally post mortem with a bit of a glow on) that cheering on the right side (take your pick) is not a challenge.Machine Girl is sexy, righteous and fearless - do not mess with her! Good price for the DVD too.

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.

A very typical off the wall Japanese film! Pretty girl goes nuts for revenge!
Bucketloads of blood all over the place! Gunning,slicing & dicing!
It's all there in a wonderful soup mix as only the Japanese can do it!
Put your brain in neutral,sit back with a tinny & laugh at the absurdity!
For my money, fantastic silliness at it's very best!
I'm hoping they make a sequel as the closing sequence of the film suggests!

Upscaled?
Just want to note that this bluray conversion looks as if its been upscaled from a highly compressed SD source and is horribly pixellated. Read more

Blood, Blood and more Blood
This film is very, very violent and is just an excuse for a blood fest. The Japanese seem to like this kind of film. Read more

It is a laugh mostly.
The start spoils it for me as it tells you how its just about going to finish. Rest is fairly predicable as a result and the scenes are fast but lack depth or storyline. Read more
