Tomorrow night – Thursday, May 22 – will be a historic occasion in olde Manhattan. It’s a one-night-only engagement of MACHINE GIRL at the ImaginAsian Theater (239 E59th Street, btwn 2nd & 3rd Avenues).

What is this MACHINE GIRL, you ask? It is the touching tale of a young schoolgirl whose arm is amputated by yakuza ninjas. The very same yakuza ninjas who then kill her family. Fortunately, a buddy builds her a machine gun to replace her missing limb and giant, high pressure blood fountains arc across the screen as she takes her revenge.

Here, try the trailer.

Totally stupid? Yes. But totally entertaining, too. And don’t forget, you get $1 off your ticket to MACHINE GIRL at the ImaginAsian if you print out our Subway Cinema Newsletter and flash it at the box office. Or you can buy an advance ticket here.

The producers of MACHINE GIRL then put MG’s gore effects supervisor in the director’s seat and he turned out TOKYO GORE POLICE, sporting the year’s most unhinged promo trailer which you can flip out to, here.
