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 friendare killed by ruthless bullies.As Ami tracks down the ringleader, sheis surprised to discover the bullies' association with a sinister ninja yakuza family. When she goes afterher revenge, she soon finds herself in over her head and minus her left arm.Barely surviving, Amiescapes and seeks out shelter fromtwo 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.

 Hilarious October 31, 2008
Through and through- this movie was entertaining. Typical story of revenge, but with hilarious, unconnecting (dare I say, senseless?) violence. Clever altogether, not exactly a box-office hit, but definitely worth purchasing on DVD.
 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 :-)
