01
The Machine Girl
Why this pick
Its candy-coloured, ultraviolent splatter-comedy energy closely matches Deadball’s knowingly absurd action, gleeful practical gore and manga-like escalation.

02
RoboGeisha
Why this pick
A similarly hyperactive Japanese exploitation spoof, packed with deadpan silliness, outrageous body-weapon inventions and deliberately excessive bloodshed.
03
Tokyo Gore Police
Why this pick
For Deadball’s taste for inventive prosthetic carnage and surreal Japanese genre excess; this is nastier and more dystopian, but equally committed to visual absurdity.
04
Yakuza Weapon
Why this pick
Matches the same era’s manic Japanese action-horror sensibility: ludicrous transformations, broad comedy and escalating practical-effects violence.
