Noboru Iguchi's THE MACHINE GIRL (KATAUDE MASHIN GÂRU)

[The Gomorrahizer]

http://www.gomorrahy.com/images/machine_girl_mb01.jpg

Above is a sales poster for Noboru Iguchi (http://blog.livedoor.jp/iguchinoboru/)'s The Machine Girl (Kataude mashin gâru). Distribution rights for the movie - a Fever Dreams LLC (http://www.fever-dreams.com/) (U.S.) production - are to be offered for sale by Nikkatsu Corporation (http://www.nikkatsu.com/) (Nikkatsu K.K.) at this year's American Film Market (http://www.afmfilms.org/catalog/) (AFM) in Santa Monica, California.

The screenplay for The Machine Girl was written by Iguchi. The movie stars Minase Yashiro (http://www.aria-crossmedia.com/yashiro.html) and Asami (http://www.web-tiara.net/girls/asami/). Yoshihiro Nishimura and his company Nishimura Motion Picture Model Makers Group (http://www.nishi-eizo.com/) (Y.K. Nishimura Eizô) - "NMPMMG" for short - were responsible for the movie's special effects, special make-up effects, and molds. Yûji Shimomura (http://blog.livedoor.jp/uden1/) was its action choreographer. (Shimomura himself directed Death Trance (http://www.deathtrance.us/).)

Here's a synopsis for The Machine Girl from the Fangoria article "Fever Dreams returns to Japan for MACHINE GIRL" (http://www.fangoria.com/news_article.php?id=4273): "[The Machine Girl] is about a teenager named Ami who sets out for revenge on a gang of bullies who tortured her little brother to death. She winds up losing an arm along the way, and replaces it with a high-powered gun, à la Rose McGowan in Grindhouse. But she doesn't stop at one limb; Ami continues to lose body parts and replac[e] them with more weapons [apparently including a drill bra (doriru bura)]."

Iguchi's previous directing credits include Cat-Eyed Boy (Nekome kozô), Manji, Sukeban Boy (Oira sukeban), Snake Girl (Madara no shôjo), Saishû seiki! Natsume Nana - kyûkyoku no erosu, Impolite Education (18-kin - abunai kankei: the kinshinsôkan), and A Larva to Love (Koi suru yôchû).

Dear God, I must have this film! A Japanese schoolgirl that slowly swaps her body parts for weapons can't possibly go wrong!!

With regard to the widespread criticism that the character Ami (Minase Yashiro) in The Machine Girl is a rip-off of the character Cherry Darling (Rose McGowan) in Grindhouse, above is a set of vidcaps from Iguchi's 2006 movie Sukeban Boy (Oira sukeban), which was based on the manga serial "Oira sukeban" by Gô Nagai.

BTW, Unicorn Entertainment International Limited released Sukeban Boy on DVD (NTSC, region-free, English subtitles) in Hong Kong on February 1st of this year; the DVD can be purchased for only $5.13 U.S. from DDDHouse.com (Haus Ltd.).

The Machine Girl is scheduled to have its world première at the Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival (http://www.yubarifanta.com/) (Yûbari Kokusai Fantasutikku Eigasai) - "YIFFF" for short - in Hokkaido, Japan on March 22nd.

Here's a description of The Machine Girl from the YIFFF website: "The Yubari film festival regular, Noboru Iguchi, has made a splatter-action with blood, blood and more blood. ¶ Ami, a high school girl, goes wild after her brother is murdered, and the film follows her on her extremely brutal, non-stop serial quest for revenge. It has already received much attention worldwide, having been written about in magazines and on the internet. Ami is played by Minase Yashiro. Although this is her first appearance in a movie, she gives such a strong performance, that people are already starting to call her 'the splatter queen'. The cast includes Iguchi's favourite actress, Asami, who starred in 'Sukeban Boy', as well as other Iguchi regulars... who are really anything but regular. Ninjas, tempura, sushi, and yakuza - the movie is full of elements that Americans readily associate with Japan. A real first-rate B movie! Only Iguchi could have pulled it off so well."

Thanks to fiol_brothers (http://www.mandiapple.com/forum/member.php?u=2851) in Snowblood Apple Forums (http://www.mandiapple.com/forum/) for the following information: Media Blasters (http://www.media-blasters.com/) apparently is scheduled to release The Machine Girl on DVD (NTSC, region 1, Japanese w/ English subtitles & English dubbed) in the U.S. on June 3rd, under its Tokyo Shock label; the DVD is available for pre-order from HKFlix.com for only $12.95 U.S..

Here's a description of The Machine Girl from the belowlinked page on HKFlix.com: "Ami (Minase Yashiro, in her film debut) is a tough but otherwise average high school girl, trying to lead a normal life. Her world comes crashing down when her brother and his friend are killed by ruthless bullies. As Ami tracks down the ringleader, she is surprised to discover the bullies' association with a sinister ninja yakuza family. When she goes after her revenge, she soon finds herself in over her head and minus her left arm. Barely surviving, Ami escapes and seeks out shelter from two kindly garage mechanics. They take pity on her, fitting her with a high-powered machine gun where her arm used to be. She then teams up with the chainsaw-wielding mother (Asami) of her brother's slain friend and together they unleash an unholy, non-stop, over-the-top kill fest against the equally creative machinery (drill bra, flying guillotine) of their relentless ninja enemies. ¶ When the very idea of THE MACHINE GIRL was introduced to the world, an internet phenomenon was launched. Many believed a film so outrageous couldn't possibly exist. But here it is, in all its uncut, gory glory from the creators of DEATH TRANCE, MEATBALL MACHINE and SUKEBAN BOY."
