Noboru Iguchi, of Machine Girl and Tokyo Gore Police fame, is following up his phallic-faced ladies with an army of robot geishas. But don’t worry, just because she’s proper doesn’t mean her face doesn’t turn into a buzz saw.
Thanks to Twitch for the tip and scoring the first look. It’s pretty amazing to think that a director’s whole style could be mechanical arms, blood, guts, and figuring out new and creative ways to shove things in his characters eyes. I believe that was fried shrimp eyes that we get a glimpse of in this trailer. Can’t wait to see more Iguchi.
The Japanese have really taken it to the next level. Earlier this year we had a machine-gun-leg heroine named Cherry Darling, and now we’ve got The Machine Girl. The plot – oh screw it, this movie is about a high school girl who gains a gatling-gun-arm, and there’s ninjas, flying guillotines, a drill bra, and more blood than you’ve ever seen before. Where do the hell do they come up with this stuff? Only over there across the Pacific, I guess I’d say. This could end up being “the cult film of next”, but my only question is when the hell will we be able to see it?! At least this trailer will hold us over.
The Machine Girl is both written and directed by Noboru Iguchi, of other crazy Japanese films like Cat-Eyed Boy, Sukeban Boy, and Kazuo Umezu’s Horror Theater: The Harlequin Girl. The film doesn’t have a US distributor or any release dates yet, but I hope in some way, shape, or form it makes its way here.
