2/4
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. Go to Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times May 23, 2008
3.5/5
A riotous blend of arterial spray and grindhouse glee. Go to Full Review Russell Edwards Variety Feb 21, 2008
Shameless gore, gallows humor and guilty pleasures are the byproducts of a mechanical plot and impressive helming. Go to Full Review Noah Berlatsky Everything is Horrible (Substack) Sep 28, 2025
What’s most remarkable, and most exhilarating, about Machine Girl, is the extent to which it’s gratuitously gratuitous. It’s almost like the Naked Gun movies, but with decapitations replacing the stupid gags. Go to Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Jun 14, 2008
2/4
It thrives on being nothing but another mediocre Asian entry that's cooler in description than it manages to be as a film... Go to Full Review Brian Chen Filmcritic.com Jun 7, 2008

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......
