After the first few seconds of watching the trailer for "The Machine Girl", I thought "hmmm, looks interesting." Then some cheesy special effects started to kick in - but still want to watch it ^^;
From what I can make out from the trailer, the heroine has her family and boyfriend killed - and her left arm chopped off at the same time. She somehow manages to get a Gatling gun built to fit on her amputated arm which she then uses to shoot seven shades of shite out of her enemies.
The Japanese name for the film is Kataude Mashin Ga-ru [片腕マシンガール] and according to IMDB is due out next year.
May be a bit gory for some folks so beware. Thanks to member DRAGUN for sending this in. If you have life saving information that all otaku must know about (like this item) then mail [tips at dannychoo dot com].
High res trailer at BrightCove and images from TwitchFilm.
A thought that often pops into my mind is that I wish I could trade my programming sk...(more)

BWahahaha This film looks great. It reminds me of a movie I watched a couple years ago called "The Story of Rickey". The effects are cheese-tastic. Thank you so much for posting this. BTW here's a website for more info on "The Story of Rickey". http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/storyofricky/default.php

Hmm, looks like a B-grade live-action version of Saikano...
(ID #66571) Posted on 2007/12/11 10:04
For some reason I have a feeling Quentin Tarantino gonna steal the idea, or put his name on this and bring it to N. America. Chicky is cute enough, and movie seems campy enough that I'd probably watch. Why not.

she like cobra in the girl body he he. but cool deadly, cute and sexy. i like it and will watch the movie

Director/Technical Director, Cameraman
Seems like a blatant ripoff of Saikano. Not everything, but enough to notice the difference. >_>

ひきこもり/Hikikomori. Suits my current state more than a 大学生/University Student. ^^
First thing came to my mind is "is this saikano live action?!"
(ID #66577) Posted on 2007/12/11 10:29
FatB., I guess he already made a movie similar to this one... Forgot the title though.
(ID #66578) Posted on 2007/12/11 10:48
kind of funny..... specially the driller bra? or the tempura hand:D
(ID #66579) Posted on 2007/12/11 10:49
@D_Blade, You mean Planet Terror that had the chick with the machine gun leg? Looks like the same cheesy style
(ID #66580) Posted on 2007/12/11 10:53
Part human, part student, 100% loser
Reminded me of Saikano... Gore + Sailor Uniform + Cute girl = Must watch!
(ID #66581) Posted on 2007/12/11 10:57
uh, i lol'ed, reminded me of a manga (also an anime), cyborg kuro-chan XDXDXD or megaman? :P

Girl with chaigun for arm...uh, fair enough ^^.
(ID #66584) Posted on 2007/12/11 11:06
This looks like it may well be the best film ever made.

this is one movie i'm looking forward to...what could be more satisfying than sailor fuku schoolgirl + gatling gun + ninja yakuza + drill bra + blood + revenge? lol @tempura^^
(ID #66588) Posted on 2007/12/11 11:40
This movie is beyond ridiculous. Far beyond.

Hmmmmmmm... Planet Terror, except the chick has the gun on her arm instead of her leg... Been there, done that...

holy moly..... looks so extreme... and... wow, drill bra in action...
(ID #66592) Posted on 2007/12/11 12:16
yeah, there was a movie that came out here a while back where the lead had a machine gun for a Leg. A LEG. come on, how stupid can you get? This actually looks cool though....
(ID #66593) Posted on 2007/12/11 12:27
I love trash movies like that :D I've just ordered an old japanese trash movie called "Supa Robot Maha Baron", I hope it's as trashy as that one

duffman,
you missed out a few things. it should be sailor fuku schoolgirl + gatling gun + ninja yakuza + drill bra + blood (lots of it) + revenge + chainsaws + flying guillotine and most importantly SUSHI! ('~')
(ID #66598) Posted on 2007/12/11 12:48
Looks like fun. :D I just don't get why the gatling gun looks so weathered, it looks like it was underwater for years. o_o

Dumb. Pure dumb. Who ever made this should go jump off a bridge.
(ID #66600) Posted on 2007/12/11 12:59
lol its so bloody =S
(ID #66601) Posted on 2007/12/11 13:01
lol, they totally ripped off of army of darkness and saikano. even the movie promotional poster looks the same http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/46/Army_of_Darkness_poster.jpg
(ID #66602) Posted on 2007/12/11 13:05
Lol. Might watch it just for laughs tho. This looks like a Saikano+Evil Dead+Planet Terror+Kill Bill.

It reminded me of planet terror. Bad@ss cannon! It uses 7.62mm rounds?
(ID #66604) Posted on 2007/12/11 13:11
Oh and Gingy, Duke Nukem did that first and somewhat more "accurate": http://sirclivesbrainchild.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/dukenukem3dbox.jpg LOL.

(ID #66608) Posted on 2007/12/11 13:33
As others have said, this reminds of Planet Terror. But with so much more coolness! Yeah! Gotta love those drill tits. lol.
(ID #66609) Posted on 2007/12/11 13:35
A good way to waste time.
(ID #66612) Posted on 2007/12/11 13:40
After watchinf Ichi the Killer, Full Metal Yakuza, And BEAT Takeshi's Dead or Alive, this stuff is tame... I wonder, is it harder to sell these stories if they were done in animation?
(ID #66614) Posted on 2007/12/11 13:44
WTF? Tempura???
(ID #66616) Posted on 2007/12/11 13:52
hahaha, that's just so awful its hilarious. AAAARGH!!! Driller bra!
(ID #66619) Posted on 2007/12/11 13:56
well, I prefer big weapons like sickles that big guns, but maybe worth to take a look. Hmmmm, sailor uniform with big weapon, GRAAAAAAHAGAAARRR...
(ID #66620) Posted on 2007/12/11 13:57
@Guarayakha LOL, army of darkness was released in 1992, the duke nukem cover you posted was the cover art for duke nukem 3D, which wasn't released until 1996. So in all fairness...army of darkness did it first XD
(ID #66622) Posted on 2007/12/11 14:05
It looks sooo campy I just have to see it. Anyone ever see Toxic Avenger....I guess it's along those lines. Drill Bra???...LOL That an original one.
(ID #66623) Posted on 2007/12/11 14:28
Wow, that's horrible. I like the blood gushing thought, very funny.
(ID #66624) Posted on 2007/12/11 14:37

Bloody Hell! This I must see to believe! Though I do agree it may have too much gore for some to handle~

this movie is rated T for tempura

I think I'll watch it for the "lols". For some reason, it just stopped being remotely serious when things like a "drill braw" start popping up.
(ID #66633) Posted on 2007/12/11 16:28
It looks so corny. Totally NOT watching it.
(ID #66634) Posted on 2007/12/11 16:44
i thought another live action of Saikano when looking at the picture... @.@" ...

LOL. TEMPURA Yeah, I'll watch it... love them B movies. But I guess I'd like it even more if it was kinda serious.

Sure I would! Hei~ this is the year of mach-girl in otaku culture(or is it next year?)Sure have to watch this! Just wish the scenario is good.. I just feels that the Japanese friction movie has kind of weird scenario, especially on the ending.(Totally have no idea what the movie want to tell) Saisyu Heki Kanojyo(Saikano) really piss me off, after getting the dvd... Hope is not!
(ID #66637) Posted on 2007/12/11 17:31
This looks awesome, cheesy, hilarious and creepy all rolled up into one. I'm definitely watching this one. It's got a real Grindhouse vibe to it. If this were a double feature, the other film would probably be 'Flamethrower Boy' or something. -_-

Second time I have heard of this. Although it does look cheesy and the special effects look less than decent, I still want to see this for some reason.
(ID #66639) Posted on 2007/12/11 17:49
What the............. :| theres so much blood, even more than fist of the north star.

i must see this stuff!
(ID #66643) Posted on 2007/12/11 17:58
errr...it reminded me of "Saishuu Heiki Kanojo"(She, The Ultimate Weapon), they're alike, girls, seifuku, weapon pop-out of the body....and live action/special effects...I hated the saikano live action..but love the anime and manga the machine girl?I don't think I'm gonna watch it ^^; thx but no thx
(ID #66646) Posted on 2007/12/11 18:36
The funny thing about those movies is that the gore effects are so cheap that they make you laugh instead of feeling digusted :D
(ID #66647) Posted on 2007/12/11 18:36
I thaught I was alone thining that this was like saikano until I read down the comments LOL cheesy FTW

"From the creators of ... MEATBALL MACHINE?!" Something tells me that's going to be a bloody movie. Kind of reminds me of Tetsuo 2: Bodyhammer.

OH yeah......want it, want it, want it............
(ID #66654) Posted on 2007/12/11 19:26
I'm surprised I did'nt through up before the end of the teaser.... No way, too gore and sounds ridicoulous
(ID #66656) Posted on 2007/12/11 19:42
I saw this and I had to get everyone to see the trailer. Lol, see, now Im starting to like this sailor-fuku thing! @Gingy, "T for Tempura" .. lol. This is going to be such a cheesy movie.. but Im going to watch it none the less. Sweet girls that turn badass are the best. I wonder what "other" attachments she has for that arm?
(ID #66657) Posted on 2007/12/11 20:02
Plus, shes reeeeally cute.

This looks so bad, I have to see it. MT3K material if nothing else. My god, the cheese factor is off the Green Bay Scale. Yakuza! Ninjas! Tempura! Sounds like it's got most of Hollywood's craptastic features beat already!

meh. i'll have to pass on this one. looks waaay too gory and cheesy for my liking.
(ID #66664) Posted on 2007/12/11 21:06
Seems fake :) But I will wait and see it, the combination of cute high school girl and gore is awasome :D
(ID #66665) Posted on 2007/12/11 21:12
She IS pretty damn cute. I wonder if she has been in other movies?

(ID #66674) Posted on 2007/12/11 22:39
This movie reminds me of Kill Bill with all the glood and gore with the cheesy effects lol.

Talk about über fake when her arm and the guy's head got chopped off, it looks more like a fire sprinkler with red fluid.

これ日本映画ですか？ 観たいです。
(ID #66679) Posted on 2007/12/12 00:07
Looks pretty lame to me. Otaku will flock to anything that features a kawaii chick in a schoolgirl uniform huh? This crap is ridiculous.
