Viewing Notes
Great seeing the spirit of Sushi Typhoon still alive and thriving in goofy exploitation junk like this. This is one of those “love it or hate” kind of movies and I love it. Tak Sakaguchi gets a decent role here as an assassin. If he just performed in silly nonsense like this I’d be fine. He brings a certain gravitas to the film even tho it’s a playful role. Now I need to revisit the OG Machine Girl flick.
