The Machine Girl

So anybody viewing this product already knows what they should expect. I mean, look at the DVD art… you’re not going to get oscar-winning cinema here, but what you will get is some of the more violent, gory, gruesome and action-filled movies i have ever seen. We all know about Ichi the Killer (Unrated Edition) and Riki-Oh – The Story of Ricky and i think this could be lumped into the same category. Totally over the top action and violence to see how far the creators can go. So down to MACHINE GIRL specifically. Acting and overall plot were pretty god considering… A young girl’s brother and his friend are killed by a gang of high-school aged yakuza and she seeks revenge, only to get her arm chopped off in the process. She finds herself at the parent’s house of the other kid who was killed and they nurse her back to health. They also make her a gigantic machine gun arm just in time to have ninjas show up to make use of it. The father is killed and “Machine Girl” and the mother of the other dead boy basically go out to seek revenge on the rest of the family. EXTREME violence ensues throughout – holes blown in people’s head, chests; decapitations; drill-bras; limbs chopped off; bodies cut into pieces, Kill Bill, Volume 1 style blood-sprays – the works. I was surprised to see that the special effects were for the most part top notch in the old-school manner. Most were all practical effects and all worked – even if they were a lil cheesy, i think it worked for the movie considering it was all that way. This will be a great movie to add to a gore-hound’s collection, or those who are fond of grindhouse-revival cinema. I’m proud to add it to my collection (of over 850 titles) and can’t wait to show it off to my friends who could stomach it… lol

It’s Five Minutes Of Madness In The TOKYO GORE POLICE Trailer!

Strap yourselves in, boys and girls, because things are about to get very, very bloody and very, very strange.

The creative team behind The Machine Girl is back together for Tokyo Gore Police, a cult action-horror starring Audition‘s Eihi Shiina as a cop forced to battle off a swarm of hideous mutants spawned by a man made virus. Machine Girl effects guru Yoshihiro Nishimura takes the helm for this one, working from a script by the writer Uzumaki while Versus star Tak Sakaguchi handles the action sequences, all of which means this thing has cult credentials like nobody’s business. What it also has is an unstoppable string of wildly over the top creature and gore effects washed down by buckets and buckets of blood.

If you’ve been waiting to get a look at this your wait is over. The first trailer debuted at the recent Yubari Fantastic Film Festival and the producers of the film have been kind enough to give Twitch an exclusive first look at that same trailer, all four minutes and forty nine seconds of it. It starts off fairly straight before building to a fever pitch and, good news for fans, as insane as this trailer is it doesn’t spoil the biggest shots of the film. Madness, I say. Madness.

You’ll find the trailer in the Twitch Player below the break, hit the link below for behind the scenes stills and watch for an interview with Nishimura in these pages soon.
