Above is a sales poster for Noboru Iguchi's The Machine Girl (Kataude mashin gâru). Distribution rights for the movie - a Fever Dreams LLC (U.S.) production - are to be offered for sale by Nikkatsu Corporation (Nikkatsu K.K.) at this year's American Film Market (AFM) in Santa Monica, California.
The screenplay for The Machine Girl was written by Iguchi. The movie stars Minase Yashiro and Asami. Yoshihiro Nishimura and his company Nishimura Motion Picture Model Makers Group (Y.K. Nishimura Eizô) - "NMPMMG" for short - were responsible for the movie's special effects, special make-up effects, and molds. Yûji Shimomura was its action choreographer. (Shimomura himself directed Death Trance.)
Here's a synopsis for The Machine Girl from the Fangoria article "Fever Dreams returns to Japan for MACHINE GIRL": "[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).

Interesting. And you know it's going to be pretty fucked up.

Is this perhaps vaguely inspired by Tetsuo: The Iron Man?

As there's no trailer online yet for The Machine Girl, here's a link to the next best thing - or is it something better?
YouTube: Dôshitemo... clip page
BTW, Yashiro has a MySpace page... and it's in English!
MySpace: Minase Yashiro official page (w/ stills from The Machine Girl)
Finally, here's a link to the trailer for Iguchi's Cat-Eyed Boy (Nekome kozô). It doesn't feature any characters with machine-gun arms, but...

The abovementioned drill bra in The Machine Girl apparently isn't worn by Ami (Minase Yashiro), but rather by a character played by Honoka. BTW, Noriko Kijima is also in the movie. |

Minase Yashiro is The Machine Girl
A clip from the Minase Yashiro idol video (IV) Dôshitemo... has just been added to the page for The Machine Girl on GOMORRAHY.com. BTW, Hiroko Yashiki and Erika Terajima are also in The Machine Girl. (For an extensive cast list for The Machine Girl, see the page in question.)

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, linked to below 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.).

LOL, what?! MEATBALL MACHINE was co-directed by Yudai Yamaguchi and Jun'ichi Yamamoto. MACHINE GIRL is being directed by Noboru Iguchi.

There are much more enjoyable ways to waste $5.13. |

great then,
I don't know, I just saw the ad "from the people that brought you meatball machine and death trance" and that got me worried. Guess it was just talking about american producters or something.
Noboru Iguchi heh?
hmm, I only saw Sukeban Boy by him I think.... interesting movie to say the least, I'm looking forward to this one even more |
