The Machine Girl

If you have a fetish for sailor fuku school girls with a huge Gatling gun as a replacement for a severed arm then this will be right up your alley.

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].

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".

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.

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

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! ('~')

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!

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. -_-

Looks pretty lame to me. Otaku will flock to anything that features a kawaii chick in a schoolgirl uniform huh? This crap is ridiculous.

Even more than Kill Bill. How could she even lift the gun? She's "Kawaii" though, so who cares...

Horrible.  The recoil from that weapon would knock her on her ass.  And the barrel doesn't spin!  You'd get a higher rate of fire from a conventional single-barreled machine gun than from that thing!

...

Oh, right.  It's probably SUPPOSED to be stupid.

McNally, I agree with you, but this is kind of like arguing the physics in the transformers movie, while suspending disbelief for the whole.. monsterous alien robot/truck thing. Lol.

Japan, you never cease to amaze us. Of all the weird crap, this is one BIG lump. I'd watch it for what seems like a possibly large set of lolz. But as for the story I'm getting, worst than the milk-loving karate kid. Oh well. Now I've got something more to out for.

That has got to be the single dumbest idea I have seen for a movie in quite some time. Which means that I will probably try to watch it!

BTW, did anyone else get any megaman/rockman vibes from the whole gun arm idea?

For those of you who think this is a Kill Bill rip-off or one of the Tarantinos copycats, if you really watched any Japanese action horror, this is what they were doing before any americans know any "squirty blood".
This is one of those cringe and laugh at the same time movie. Bloody brilliant.

Sorry, but I have to give a big lol to all of the people dismissing this because they think it's cheesy and "dumb".

But then I wouldn't expect most people to be intelligent or informed enough to see the allure and entertainment value of good ol' fashioned, shlocky, gory, silly, mindless B-movies for what they are, and not for some silly high standards they selfishly impose upon it.

But seeing as I'm one of the connoisseurs of such things, all I have to say in defense is that the people that like this sort of thing, like them knowing full well how ridiculous they are. It's part of it. 

And judging by the obvious tounge-in-cheek nature of the trailer, if you didn't catch that it's silly on purpose, you must have some serious context clue and common sense problems.

I can understand if some people might think this is too "gory" for them or if they are squeamish, or if they just aren't into those kinds of things.

But never underestimate the entertainment value, of a good ol' fashioned, intentionally silly, mindless gore fest every once in a while. Or the fanbase that appreciates this kind of thing. 

People pay money to go into a theater and watch a comedy movie, but when a movie like this comes along, they dismiss it, because they feel that if it's not easily recognized as a "comedy" that gives them the right to be dismissive, and quite honestly, ignorant of it's entertainment value.

It's only as "dumb" and as "cheesy " as you make it. Instead of people judging and being so dismissive and harsh about this kind of thing, maybe people should sit back and actually enjoy when something is silly and mindless for the sake of being silly, mindless fun.

Sure it doesn't look to be nearly on the same level of Peter Jackson's "Braindead" (A.K.A Dead Alive) (A.K.A. The greatest gore film ever).

But I think that this film shall immensely satisfy my craving for a good, intentionally silly, and entertaining gore film.

or... at least a lot more than Battle Royal did, which I found to be a little TOO heavy and pretentious for being as silly of a film as it really was.

At least I can see from the getgo, that "Machine Girl" has no such issues.

If people didn't already see or notice the admittedly campy fun of this movie from the trailer, and how it doesn't TRY to take itself seriously, then those are the kinds of people that I would expect to be ignorant of the reasoning of why people love to watch silly, low budget, gore films for fun.

In short: This film doesn't take itself seriously. So, some of you silly people shouldn't take it so seriously, either.

Hmm, "The Machine Girl" aye...after noticing the image and then reading the description; I found it very similar if not a COPY of the American movie: Grindhouse; but reversed; instead of character with arm thats a "gun," Grindhouse has a female character with a "gun" for the leg. I'm not particularly interested in watching this; but if I watch Grindhouse sometime and if this movie comes out in DVD by that time; I'd check it out just to compare them. Anyhow; seems the Japanese movie industry are doing it again, copying the Americans when they lose or have no insight for imagination in terms of horror/gory/scary action movie genre.

the grayish, greenish machine gun arm looks fake in the 3rd pic. Yep it kinda reminds me of the girl from Planet Terror. Though this is like an anime turned live action. Gonna look out for this!

I watched the first 10 minutes of it and I had to stop, the gore was too disturbing even though it was cheesy.  I like the idea and I was curious of the story and all, but I got a weak stomach for that kind of violence, if it was an anime I might be able to handle it better.
