The MACHINE GIRL Arrives On DVD June 3rd!

Not only does Noboru Iguchi’s Machine Girl arrive on DVD June 3rd but apparently she’s a cheap date, too, Amazon currently offering the disc for under fourteen bucks. Having seen the film I can say that, yes, this is every bit as crazy and chaotic as the trailer would lead you to expect. It is sheer low budget, exploitative, splattery madness. And a whole lot of fun. Check the trailer below the break if you need to refresh your memory.

OMG! That is so bloody and weird, that i want to see it… Drill bra, omg!, he-he…
Andrew Mack 04/06/2008 @ 12:36pm
Every bit of fun as Todd makes it out to be. And it looks deceptively good for a low budget pic. Bloody good fun.
zombeaner 04/06/2008 @ 1:51pm
Very psyched for this…

I have such high hopes for this movie, I am probably setting myself up for a huge letdown but oh well. Can’t wait for June now.
jeda21 04/06/2008 @ 2:57pm
OK this looks like grindhouse, which one came first… the chicken or the egg?
Tuan Jim 04/06/2008 @ 5:02pm
Still no review from you guys? Has it been shown theatrically in Japan at all or direct to video there as well? I think the last thing I really remember here aside from the trailer was the AFM poster (still my desktop).
Still getting it sight unseen ;p
zombeaner 04/06/2008 @ 10:51pm
I’ll pre-order it, I just hope it doesn’t disappoint me like Meatball Machine did… The trailer was insane and the movie left me a little flat, maybe it needs a second viewing.

No review yet, Tuan Jim, because the world premiere was only last week in Brussels.
However, it will be in Amsterdam next week, I’ll watch it, and you can be damned sure a review will follow!

Aha, so we DID have the World Premiere at the BIFFF ...
Rest asured, this one leaves the somewhat uneven ‘Meatball Machine’ far behind. If you keep in mind that it is pretty low budget, this one sure delivers in spades ...
it’s hilariously gory and campy kinky throughout and has very nice character(s).
Boy o did we fun
Jon Pais 04/07/2008 @ 6:55am
I had to order this one, if only for the tantalizing culinary ideas
anton_es 04/07/2008 @ 9:04am
nothing better to end a video night with THAT kind of movie !!!!!
Tuan Jim 04/07/2008 @ 2:10pm
Aardvark - my review comment was specifically in reference to Todd saying he’d seen it in the initial post. I also hadn’t recalled any previous postings saying it was DTV - at least for Japan so it just seems a little surprising that we’re getting a US dvd release so soon when it’s not even out in Japan.
Todd Brown 04/07/2008 @ 2:33pm
I got it as a screener for festival consideration and I only review things I get that way if I have explicit permission to do so or if it’s easily commercially available already somewhere else. This didn’t fit either of those criteria so I didn’t touch it ...
Tuan Jim 04/07/2008 @ 6:58pm
That’s cool. I just thought I was missing something as far as dates and whatnot. Again, I’m a little surprised it’s coming out in the US so quickly, but I’m looking forward to it.
Caterpillar 04/08/2008 @ 1:20am
It was produced by an US company (Fever Dreams / Media Blasters) so of course it gets a quick release in America. The same thing happens with all the anime that is now funded by American companies.
