Product Description
Ami is a beautiful, popular kid for whom the future looks pretty good. But when her high-school brother gets bullied for money, and the guy after the cash just happens to be the vicious son of a crazy Yakuza crime boss, you know all hell is about to break loose. When Amis bro can not pay enough, violence breaks out, he is murdered and Ami is bound, tortured and has her left arm hacked off as a reminder not to mess with the Yakuza. But this is one chick who does not take any rubbish! Barely alive, she is taken in by a mechanic, who builds her a prosthetic limb with a difference - it is only a fully automatic machine gun! The quest for revenge is on.... Filled with genius tongue-in-cheek gore moments including human tempuras, nail-gunned faces, finger sushi, exploding torsos and the soon to be legendary bra drill, Machine Girl is the movie that Quentin Tarantino always wanted to make! Don t miss the over-the-top cult action hit of the decade!

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.

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!

THE MACHINE GIRL is probably the peak of humanity's endeavours in the cinematic artform - a film so ridiculous, so violent, so inspirationally absurd and obscene that all other film makers must look at their own efforts and think "What a fool I have been, for I did not make THE MACHINE GIRL... and I could have done so". Films like this are, frankly, the only reason I have not drilled my own eyeballs out already.

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

Corny acting, plot holes and over the top effects. And these are just some of the good points. 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

Kept my son laughing
This is an absurd film. It is a fantasy without any contact with reality. Blood everywhere and idiots running around. For a teenager this might be fun (my son was laughing... Read more

Buckets o' blood
Absolutely bonkers film. The blood is so over the top, this is more like a live action cartoon. Perfect post-pub fodder.

A great piece of fun nonsense on Blu-ray
Hot Japanese schoolgirl blows away the baddies by having a machine gun for an arm? That premise works for me! Read more
