V.A. Musetto New York Post Nonstop violence, gallons of spurting blood, outrageous humor (a kitchen scene is a hoot), extreme vomiting, a drill bra, human sushi and tempura, and other perversity. Rated: 2/4 May 28, 2008 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times A riotous blend of arterial spray and grindhouse glee. Rated: 3.5/5 May 23, 2008 Full Review Russell Edwards Variety Shameless gore, gallows humor and guilty pleasures are the byproducts of a mechanical plot and impressive helming. Feb 21, 2008 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed It thrives on being nothing but another mediocre Asian entry that's cooler in description than it manages to be as a film... Rated: 2/4 Jun 14, 2008 Full Review Brian Chen Filmcritic.com one of those movies that is successful only because it tries to be bad Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 7, 2008 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid It's smart enough to really cut loose and relaxed enough to be funny. Rated: 3/4 Jun 5, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Japanese weird stuff... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member I laughed so hard over the cheesy special effects I nearly coughed up a lung! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member wow......fantastic.....brilliant....amazing......i have just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a great movie 2 watch.......its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie......i think that minase yashiro, asami sugiura, yuya ishikawa, kentaro shimazu, noriko kijima, play good roles/parts thorughout this movie.....i think that the director of this action/adventure/horror movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie.....WARNING THIS MOVIE CONTAINS STROBE LIGHTNING EFFECTS IN SOME SCENES THROUGHOUT THIS MOVIE........i think that this is such a cult classics movie 2 watch.......its got awesome fight scenes thorughout this movie......this is such a really violent movie 2 watch but its such an awesome movie 2 watch...... According to writer and director Iguchi, the idea for The Machine Girl went back to a simple idea he had about a one-armed girl in a bikini looking for revenge. The idea for the machine gun arm came later. A direct-to-video sequel called Shyness Machine Girl (hajirai?????? Hajirai mashin g?ru?) was released on January 23, 2009 along with the Japanese DVD of The Machine Girl. its got a good soundtrack throughout this movie.......i think that this is such a highley entertaining movie 2 watch its got a great cast throughout this movie its such a fantastic movie 2 watch its got a great cast throughout this movie its got good car chases throughout this movie.......its got good fight scenes throughout this movie......i think that this is such a really enjoyable movie 2 watch with a good cast throughout this movie......
