The Machine Girl

So most of us are aware of the Japanese splatter film The Machine Girl. which was one of my Top Ten Favorites for 2008. However, what many of you probably dont know is that there is already a twenty minute short film sequel to the blood filled original. This short sequel is titled Hajirai Machine Girl and has a new girl take over the mantle from the previous film. It revolves around the character Yoshie as she must overcome her shyness to become the new Machine Girl.

Yeah I know, sounds a little strange but the good news is the good folks at TwitchFilm got their hands on the trailer for this new short film sequel and it is more of the rediculousness that the first film had. However, be warned that some people may find this new follow up a little on the tasteless side as one of the weapons…..well, lets just say it comes out of the body instead of being attached to it. Intrigued? Then check out the trailer for Hajirai Machine Girl below. It’s in Japanese so dont expect captions but it’s more Machine Girl mayhem to enjoy!

The 20-minute Hajirai Machine Girl short sequel is an added bonus feature to the new Japanese DVD release of the original film. No word on any release of this short film any other way other then as a Japanese DVD bonus feature. Also, keep your eyes peeled for more information as a full lenght sequel titled The Drill Bra Sisters is set to be made sometime soon.

We’ve been talking about it for a while now and now you can get a look for yourself: the trailer for Noboru Iguchi’s Hajirai Machine Girl has arrived. An ultra-low budget sequel to Iguchi’s already low budget cult hit The Machine Girl, this was prepared as a bonus feature for Machine Girl‘s Japanese DVD release and picks up the story with secondary character Yoshie taking up the Machine Girl mantle, though she must first overcome her shyness (hajirai) to do so. Overcome her shyness? Yeah, safe to say she does that … the weaponry in this case ends up somewhere a little more *ahem* personal than the stump of a severed arm.

NY Post The machine girl Review
ID you hear the one about the schoolgirl who loses her left arm in a fight with mobsters and has it replaced by an eight-barrel machine gun (shades of Rose McGowan in “Grindhouse”), which she uses to exact vengeance on the bullies who killed her brother and his best pal?

So goes “The Machine Girl,” by Japanese schlockmeister Noboru Iguchi.

But there’s more: Nonstop violence, gallons of spurting blood, outrageous humor (a kitchen scene is a hoot), extreme vomiting, a drill bra, human sushi and tempura, and other perversity.

Iguchi, who has a well-deserved reputation for outrageousness, never allows this low-budgeter to take itself seriously. Viewers who take the same approach will have a kick-ass time – if they have a strong stomach, that is.

In Japanese, with English subtitles. Running time: 96 minutes. Not rated (violence)
