Welcome to MangoBot , a biweekly column about Asian futurism byTokyoMangoblogger Lisa Katayama . Fight scenes featuring beautiful Asian women with machine guns are aphrodisiac , scary , and fetishistic . If you ’re in San Francisco in June , you ’re in luck — you may get a dual dose of ass - busting Asiatic women at theAnother Hole in the Headhorror pic fest , where two crazy , remorseless Oriental beauties battle evil in a cumulative three hours of gory revenge and fantastical sci - fi criminal offence - fighting . The Gene Generation and The Machine Girl are two completely dissimilar sort of movies — one is American sci - fi , one is a broken - budget Japanese gory barn - picture . But when stripped of their decor , there are a mickle of plebeian paper and subtexts .
The Gene Generation is a cultish movie about a dark , crime - ride future . call up Blade Runner meets Ghost in the Shell . Singaporean film film director Pearry Reginald Teo draws a scenic dystopia , and Bai Ling stars as Michelle , a live , soulless bravo who just wants to get out of the creepy Scheol she and her pal live in . But her chum , Jackie , keeps gamble away her intemperately - take in hard cash . One day , Jackie buys a weird mutant glove with tentacle ( “ A Chinese finger trap ! ” ) which turns out to be a unidirectional biological transcoder that reconfigures a person ’s DNA and could potentially terminate disease — or wipe out mankind . As usual , Michelle has to slaughter many masses to get her brother out of trouble . Her performance and hotness are mesmerizing , even if you ’re just determine her walk around her sorry - and - green - imbue apartment in her black leather strappy shorts and holster . Michelle was probably wear a badass ; we do n’t lie with anything about her yesteryear , and she lives in a entirely fictional next world .
The music director of The Machine Girl , Noboru Iguchi , is best known for making provocative smut feature lesbians and skatology . Ami is played by Minase Yachiyo , a swim suit model , and her partner - in - law-breaking , Asami , is played by a well - cognise porno star with dozens of title . This movie was made only for a US Release ; porno stars in violent B film do n’t always make it big back home , but busty Asian women agitate against ninjas and yakuza — well , there is apparently a good market for that kind of stuff here .
Ami , the teenager in The Machine Girl , starts off as an average female child in present - day Japan . She plays basketball at schoolhouse and , like Michelle , has dedicated her living to care for her little blood brother . Even when the local yakuza boss ’s son throws him off a balcony to his deathbed , she keeps her cool , and prove to tap apology from those responsible for . But when a family she visits fail psycho on her and turn her left branch into tempura , Ami transforms into a blood - and - guts - loving , vengeance - seeking beggarly putting to death machine .
Here ’s a quick item - to - point comparison of some of the law of similarity and contrasts between the two celluloid .
plot of ground :
Gene : Badass quondam baby kills to pay the visor while her rascally little comrade gambles it away and gets in trouble .
auto : Badass older sister plots to kill everyone who was imply in the bullying decease of her slight pal .
Parents :
Gene : Murdered after owe too much gambling debt .
auto : Committed self-destruction after being incorrectly charge of murder .
Weapons :
factor : side arm and sexual urge appeal .
motorcar : Pure retribution and a car artillery weapon system made by her auto mechanic friends .
rig :
Gene : aphrodisiacal black leather everything .
political machine : Like a good Nipponese schoolgirl , Ami is always in her uniform .
nudeness :
factor : Yes , you get to see Bai Ling au naturel . And cause sex .
Machine : Ironically , the pornstar - filled movie has no nudeness . Just stacks of spill guts .
plaster cast and Crew :
Gene : Fight choreographer Jeff Imada ( Fight Club , The Crow ) , producer Kim Winther ( Mr. and Mrs. Smith )
car : Porn director Noboru Iguchi ( Hot Girl on Toilet , Underage Girl on Toilet ) , actress Asami ( Wild Thing x Asami , allow ’s Virtual Fuck With Asami )
I was rosy enough to see both these flick in the past week . What did I consider ? candidly , Machine made me need to drop up in my oral cavity , but I savor the humor and the sheer insaneness of the innocent - face school miss . And as much as I am not ordinarily a sci - fi movie nut ( remember , I ’m the io9 - er who hasnever visualize Star Wars ) , I enjoy Gene Generation . But credibly less for the sci - fi and more for the hot Asiatic girl . What can I say ? I choose dating hombre , but I think women are loose on the eyes .
