Ami is a beautiful, popular kid for whom the future looks pretty good. But when her high-school brother gets bullied for money, and the guy after the cash just happens to be the vicious son of a crazy Yakuza crime boss, you know all hell is about to break loose. When Ami’s bro can not pay enough, violence breaks out, he is murdered and Ami is bound, tortured and has her left arm hacked off as a reminder not to mess with the Yakuza. Barely alive, she is taken in by a mechanic, who builds her a prosthetic limb with a difference - a fully automatic machine gun! (Trinity Filmed Entertainment)

Lately I’ve been ignoring most new Asian horror films, but when I read on IMDb that this one was supposed to be a splatter, I made an exception expecting a breath of fresh air after the other current Asian movies, which are mostly boring ghost stories. The Machine Girl was indeed refreshing, but it’s certainly not a quality piece of work. One hour an a half of watching a silly Japanese gang, bad special effects, a stupid story and unfunny excessive gore is really not for me. One star for those several good bits. But don’t take my opinion as a guide, I don’t like Asian cinema in general and that also goes for (possibly) intentionally bad movies.
