She decides to seek bloody revenge but her vendetta may not be so easy to fulfill when one bully turns out to be the son of a clan of Ninja yakuza! Let the bodies hit the floor indeed!
Can this film get anymore goddamn entertaining than it already was? Hard to say because it was so goddamn entertaining!! Oh man this so rocked! I was just floored at the amount of blood, mutilation and sheer perversity contained in this film! It was like a Japanese Grand Guignol! Honestly, Meatball Machine has nothing on this flick, not one single thing. The Machine Girl had ninjas, yakuza, pinky violence, Japanese schoolgirls, torture, amputations, mutilation, bras with drills and a healthy respect for films like Grindhouse: Planet Terror and Army of Darkness!
Believe it or not I was so damn mesmerized with the Japanese schoolgirls and gore that I really can’t even come up with something wrong with this film! That so rarely happens with me as very little can really claim to be perfect. I suppose if push came to shove I’d say some of the acting was a tad off but, as I’ve stated many times before, it was all in Japanese so it could have been packed with Oscar award-winning performances and I wouldn’t know the difference. Entertaining is entertaining and this was perhaps the best damn film I’ve seen thus far in 2008. Call me an immature, pervy goremonger but this was glorious.
I was sold on this about halfway through the film. It was so entertaining that I purchased it and will no doubt watch it again many many more times. If you’re a fan of films like Kakko Kamen, Meatball Machine, Planet Terror and Army of Darkness, why not check this little low budget gem out and prepare to be amazed! Three cheers for Iguchi! Here’s hopin’ for a sequel!
