THE MACHINE GIRL is an outrageously funny splatter spree! School girl Ami has lost her parents and lovingly cares for her little brother Yu. Still she doesn’t realize for a long time, that Yu is being tortured and blackmailed by a yakuza gang of pupils. When one day Yu can’t come up with enough money, he and his friend Takashi are being tortured to death by the plaguers. Ami is devastated, she turns mighty furious and swears bitter revenge. But the first attack takes her left arm. She finds refuge in the workshop of Takashi’s parents. They help Ami and get her a machine gun as new arm. Equipped with a new weapon she continues her merciless campaign of vengeance – supported by Takashi’s mother, who works the enemy with a chainsaw.

Unbelievably racy fight scenes, marvellous actresses and a lot of red colour make THE MACHINE GIRL an absolute must for all fans of trash entertainment.
