This review is meant for those who take ALL their movies serious.
If avoiding or hating movies like this means that I'm close minded and have absolutely no taste at all. That's fine and I'll continue living this way. I gave The Machine Girl a chance simply because I wanted to expand my range in movie watching. Plus most of my amazon friends like it. I have no ill feelings towards any of them at all for recommending this. But this movie is at the top of the list of things that I wish I can unsee. I hate this movie. I hated the fight scenes, the cheesy dialogue, the poor special effects, the horrendous acting, the ridiculous ideas. I don't have anything good to say about this movie. People actually compare this to Planet Terror in a good way. I was interested in checking that out too. But there's no way I'm bothering with that. I really did come into this movie wanting to like it because of the mindless violence. But it just didn't do it for me. The point of this 1 star rant is to let people with similar taste to mine, know what they are getting into. It took me 4 tries in 6 days to finish a 90 minute movie. What more do I have to say?

ridiculously stupid movie ever. I am so embarrassed which I dont have to though.....
At first, I got shocked when I saw this movie's trailer, and second I got shocked again because that movie was really stupidly silly.
If you think this is about real japanese culture, you are silly too.
YAKUZA dont use the sword usually and never use "shuriken" which is like , Ninja used to through in the past.
This is one of the completely prejudice, stereo type, misunderstanding movie.
This is not funny at all and I got bored in the middle of the movie so I did not watch whole movie but hey, what is the point of this movie ?
If you wanna waste your time , then watch it.
I dont know why US people tend to like this kind of movie.
We have tons of awesome movies that you maybe accept.
US and foreign people tend to see japan as exotic, traditional asian country but it is completely misunderstanding. YES, Y.E.S, we have traditional culture that is similar with chinese one but it is not the thing what you already know.
Anyway, this was stupid movie ever.

blood blood gimme gimme what?
Hmmm, those American folk love their violence. Let's cram it down their throat and watch them choke on it.
That's the overall feeling I got from Machine Girl. Like a kid sneaking a cookie and mommy forces him to eat the whole bag as punishment.
It's another revenge flick with a plethora of absurdly oozing blood and gory mayhem. Some great special effects, unbelievably cheesy events, plus horrendous acting. Actually the acting probably wouldn't be so bad if this wasn't dubbed in English.
Anyway, this is the type of movie I usually love. Just this time I felt they were exploiting my stupidity, haha. 3.5 stars.

Silly, but so much fun.
Machine Girl (Noboru Iguchi, 2008)
It's been a week since I watched this movie, and still the only word I can come up with to describe it is WHAT. Machine Girl is... something different, that's for sure. A spoof of action/horror movies that's never quite over-the-top enough to tip you off that the director isn't taking it seriously, a camp classic where the acting isn't quite truly bad enough to qualify, a special-effects extravaganza where the special effects are just fake enough to let you know it's not a special-effects extravaganza... you get the idea. If it wanted to be all those things and fell just short, it's as massive a failure of a movie as I've seen in years. If, however, it's supposed to be that way, it's genius.
So anyway, there's not a great deal of plot here. No surprise. Ami (porn actress Asami) is a schoolgirl whose brother is killed by bullies, one of whom is the son of the local Yakuza branch. When she tries to get revenge, she loses her left arm. She teams up with Miki (softcore actress Honoka), the mother of one of Ami's brother's friends who was also killed in the attack, and Miki teaches Ami martial arts while her husband makes Ami a machine-gun arm. And, well, you can guess what happens from there.
Machine Girl is nothing more than stupid fun, and if you go into it with that attitude, you'll have a good time. It's not meant to be deathless cinema (at least, I don't think it is), just a fun time you can use to while away ninety minutes. And in that vein, it's great stuff-- cheesy dialogue, over-the-top painfully fake gore, lots of one-liners. If you're looking for great moviemaking, look elsewhere, but I think most folks would have a lot of fun with this one. ***

Prepared to get blasted out of your seat!
If you like Planet Terror, than you'll love Machine Girl. This one armed, one gatlin gun armed girl will blow you away. It's cheese at its best. A cult classic like Evil Dead. Haven't seen this much blood in a movie since I don't know when. When a girl seeks revenge for the death of her brother, all heck breaks loose. Filled with imaginitive death scenes and more blood than the sea has water, you laugh, cringe and have a great time. Only downside was when the girl loses her arm, they do a terrible time trying to hide it in her recovery scenes.
