The Japanese make some truly wacky movies like the squid movie The Calamari Wrestler . Later this summer on August 8th the movie The Machine Girl or The One-Armed Machine Girl (片腕マシンガール Kataude Mashin Garu) will be released. The film stars beautiful gravure idol Minase Yashiro 八代みなせ in her film debut and had its worldwide debut at the Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival on March 22nd. The film is written and directed by Noboru Iguchi 井口昇 who directed Sukeban Boy and Cats Eye body.

This slasher revenge movie tells the story about a high school girl Ami ( Minase Yashiro 八代みなせ ) who leads a normal life until a gang of bullies associated with a yakuza family kill her little brother and friend and took away everything she ever had.

When she goes after her revenge, she soon finds herself in over her head and minus her left arm. Barely surviving, she escapes and seeks out shelter from two kindly garage mechanics who fit her with a gattling machine gun . She then teams up with the chainsaw-wielding mother (Asami) of her brother’s slain friend and together they unleash a revenge fest against the equally creative machinery (drill bra, flying guillotine) of their relentless ninja yakuza enemies.
