Rise of the Machine Girls
Bakuretsu Mashin Shôjo - Bâsuto Mashin Gâru

Horror, Comedy
Some 15 years ago, Iguchi's Machine Girl kicked off the whole Sushi Typhoon craze. It's not a film that needed a sequel and Rise of the Machine Girls is mostly one in name only, but since Japanese splatter comedy releases are few and far between these days, I can't say I really mind. This new one isn't up there with the best of them, but it's well entertaining. The biggest problem I have with this film is that very little has changed since the first one. Yes, the ideas are weird and insane, there is plenty to laugh, and this niche truly is one of a kind. But the performances are still pretty crap, so is the CG. You'd think they'd put a bit more effort into the execution to try and up their game, but alas. Great fun though. Read all
