Audience Member I would have thought this film was made by Sushi Typhoon as it has all the makings of one of their films... and yet... it is not. Someone else is making crazy Japanese genre films. Much like most films in this genre, the story is second place to the crazy. There is plenty of crazy in this film but it's not as over the top as others I've seen. The physical FX and prosthetics are pretty sweet though and the end big boss battle is all kinds of bat shit crazy. Unfortunately, Samurai Princess has a story that's a little weird and is almost anime in terms of bizarre but doesn't work on all levels. It's too bad as I do like Kengo Kaji's previous writing efforts Tokyo Gore Police and Uzumaki. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Awful yet oddly I was compelled to watch the entire thing. Campy, gory, and explicit at times, it is one of the few asian films that I wouldn't watch again. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Plot: Samurai Princess takes place sometime, somewhere in an alternate universe version of feudal Japan, where people live together with highly developed mechanical dolls. However, excessively developed mechanical dolls start causing harm to the human society, leading to ghastly bloodshed. A mad scientist creates a female ninja "mecha" infused with the souls of eleven of her fallen sisters and she uses their combined power to take down those responsible for their deaths. If you enjoyed other mechagore films like Machine Girl and Tokyo Gore Police then odds are you'll like this one too since it comes from the same writer as TGP and features the same gonzo gore and bizarre weaponry in Machine Girl. (i.e- Chainsaw leg, scissor foot and even breast grenades.) Once again this one is flimsy on plot but who really watches these for a intriguing storyline anyway. <a href="http://s85.photobucket.com/albums/k49/advee/?action=view¤t=0hjw22pj6smxry2mvh40.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k49/advee/0hjw22pj6smxry2mvh40.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member they tried to turn something that could have been great tokyo shock into a revenge fueled drama, but it just didn't quite work. Instead you have a movie with bad pacing that's parts just don't match up and story just isn't strong enough to pull it through Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Meh, movie was a bit too much, so insane that it kinda just stopped being able to keep my attention after about half an hour, if you like over the top crazy japanese films then you'll like this one, just a bit too much for me to stay entertained though Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm unashamedly fond of this genre of over-the-top, ultra-gory, and often hilarious Japanese movies. When done right, they're endlessly entertaining. Samurai Princess is not one of the finer examples that I've seen. The story is a revenge tale about a girl who becomes a Mecha (super-powered humans modified with the body parts and souls of the dead). She's searching for a group of men and two other Mechas who are responsible for the assault and dismemberment of a group of her friends. The plot is not presented in such a straightforward way, though, and there's a revolving door of random characters that pop up spout some back-story, get in a fight or two, and then die or disappear. The action scenes are weak, the attempts at humor come off as just weird, and not much of anything really makes sense. Samurai Princess is definitely a low-budget affair, with most of the money seemingly going renting the various warehouses it was filmed in. The only real entertainment to be found is from wondering what inexplicable thing is going to happen next. Watch if for that, or don't bother with it, at all. 9/10 on the WTF scale, 4/10 as a movie. And please don't ask what the title has to do with the actual movie, because I've yet to figure that out. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
