The Machine Girl
Why this pick
Iguchi delivers the same gleefully artificial, high-energy splatter style: a wronged heroine, absurd weaponized anatomy, deadpan melodrama, and escalating practical-effects carnage.

Tokyo Gore Police
Why this pick
For the same maximalist Japanese splatter imagination, it turns a dystopian police story into an avalanche of grotesque biological weapons, propulsive action, and proudly excessive gore.
03
Dead Sushi
Why this pick
Iguchi applies the same straight-faced absurdity and handmade splatter verve to killer sushi, with a determined heroine and action set pieces that keep finding sillier ways to top themselves.
04
Helldriver
Why this pick
A similarly unrestrained spectacle of transformed bodies, weaponized limbs, neon gore, and fierce female-driven action, built for viewers who enjoy excess as the entire point.
05
Yakuza Weapon
Why this pick
Its revenge plot exists mainly to launch increasingly ridiculous cyborg weaponry, broad comedy, and explosive practical-effects action in RoboGeisha’s proudly trashy spirit.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
The film starts out with an assassination attempt on a political candidate by a Geisha (that turns out to be a robot) and two scantily-clad women wearing Tengu/Goblin masks. The goblin-clad women violently (and phalically) take out the body guards (notably shooting shuriken out their butts) as the politician is menaced and wounded by the robot geisha who has a circular saw blade in her mouth. Suddenly, another person named Yoshie (Aya Kiguchi) appears, reveals herself as a robogeisha, and destroys the villainous robot.
