Summary: Get a clue
Comment: There seems to be many here who think this movie is absolute trash. In one sense it is. However, one has to view The Machine Girl from the proper perspective; this is the Japanese version of camp and cheese all rolled up into one gory horror movie. With that said, you shouldn't expect something thought provoking. On the other hand, you should expect that this flick will some day gain cult status in a relatively short time.
Admittedly, this slice and dice approach to horror is over the top but that's what gives this movie its charm. Don't take it seriously because that's not how it was meant to be viewed. Have low expectations, relax, and enjoy the show.
As far as the transfer goes, I would like to point out that the video quality is first-rate with muted colors and solid blacks and whites. The audio was also clear.
If you're not sure, rent it before you buy it. That's the safest approach.

Summary: either love it or hate it!
Comment: And I hate it for sure. The "Scrapheap Girl" is the worst movie I seen this year and one of the worst i seen ever. Everyting about it is bad. the acting, cheesy dialogue, everything. And its meant to be that way. Well to each his own. I truly believe this movie is either a love it or hate it and no in between. Anybody who is in between, 3 star reviews for example. is worried about votes, review ranking, and being cool with the amazon cliques roaming this website. In other words, they bulls***in' and don't want to come clean and say this flick sucks.

Summary: The Machine Girl Blood Bath
Comment: The Machine Girl brings in all the crazy blood splattering (sometimes funny) effects that you would expect from a Tokyo Shock movie. It even has Tempura. The overkill on the blood spraying machine makes this movie so over the top you can't help but laugh. I can't count how many times someone loses a limb in this movie.The acting is yet to be desired but who watches these movies for the acting? I give it 4 stars. I'm waiting for the sequel.

Summary: THIS ONES DEDICATED TO THE ONE I LOVE
Comment: Dear Machine Girl,
I was so happy when I finally found you;
the blood-soaked girl of my dreams.
I think you're gatling gun arm was just super.
You were so bloody I could bathe in your torrents of gore.
And I loved that some of the color in your scenes were washed out.
Your were so pretty that night, with your plots of vengeance.
Remember when you severed that punks hand with a sickle,
or kicked a pipe through that other punks mouth, and out the back of his head.
That was just lovely.
You really made my night with that one.
Or the time you busted a hole in that red-ninja,
and then aimed through it and mowed another hole in his buddies skull.
Don't you remember all we've been through together,
the decaptations, the horizontal & vertical mutilations,
the showers of blood together.
We had so many romantic dinners, like the fried arm, and the finger sushi.
Remember that knife through that womans mouth,
oh what a joy to see her vomit blood on her sons decapitated head.
We had some good times didn't we??
Don't get me wrong every special effect we had was as corny as "he who walks behind the rows".
But they were fun weren't they.
Don't you recall??
Pounding nails in our enemies face,
the chainsaw leg, the flying guillotine, and the motorized drill bra.
I can't believe our bloody, slow-mo, skull-swapping conclusion.
It was all to sudden.
Come back to me Machine Girl,
I love you,
I need to feel your waves of blood on my face again.
You fill my world with gore.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
blood, Blood, BLOOD!!!!!!!!

Ami (Minase Yashiro in her film debut) is a tough but otherwise average high school girl trying to lead a normal life. Her world comes crashing down when her brother and his friend are killed by ruthless bullies. As Ami tracks down the ringleader she is surprised to discover the bullies' association with a sinister ninja yakuza family. When she goes after her revenge she soon finds herself in over her head and minus her left arm. Barely surviving Ami escapes and seeks out shelter from two kindly garage mechanics. They take pity on her fitting her with a high-powered machine gun where her arm used to be. She then teams up with the chainsaw-wielding mother (Asami) of her brother's slain friend and together they unleash an unholy non-stop over-the-top kill fest against the equally creative machinery (drill bra flying guillotine) of their relentless ninja enemies.System Requirements:Running Time: 96 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/CRIME Rating: NR UPC: 631595073980 Manufacturer No: TSDVD0739
