Battle Girl is an example of what I look for in a movie: Dark, somber, slow paced, low produced, gritty, absurd, stylish and imaginative. But one thing that kept this movie from b-movie gold is the inconsistent tone in the action sequences. It ranges from p!ss poor slow ass choreography to intense and bad ass. It's funny but it is sort of distracting as well and can kill the pacing. I recommend this movie to those who like gritty and dark ass sci fi action movie lovers.

Meteor slams into Tokyo bay covering the city is a weird shell. Inside the dead begin to rise and one girl fights to rescue the living and stop a mad general looking to use the dead for his own ends.Forerunner of the modern shot on video gore films this is a "serious" (well at least compared with say most Sushi Typhoon films) film that was done on the cheap by people with more passion than perhaps talent. It reminds me of the late 80's scifi films from America. While certainly wild and crazy it's more interesting as an artifact rather than as film I'd watch again for enjoyment.I'd take a pass.

When a meteor crashes into Japan it brings lethal danger:a virus capable of raising the dead and turning them into flesheating zombies.It's up to K-ko to save Tokyo and to fight with living dead and crazed army men.Cheesy and fast-paced Japanese zombie flick which plays like cross between "Dawn of the Dead" and "Resident Evil".First of all "Battle Girl" is nowhere near as violently graphic nor sexually depraved as his earlier features like "Guts of a Virgin".There is not much gore on display and surprising lack of cannibalistic grue.The fights are plentiful,albeit poorly choreographed and the cyberpunk elements are fun to watch.An entertaining and inoffensive zombie effort from Japan.7 out of 10.

Okay, so there's this meteor, right? Then it crashes into Tokyo Bay, right. This causes green gas to be released into the atmosphere. So far, so good, right? And the authorities want to cover it up. That makes the sense, right? Now, after the first three minutes, it makes no sense.From there, we transition to what is apparently a few weeks or a few months later (there is no indication that time has passed, we can only guess) as we are now in a poorly lit, post-Apocalyptic Tokyo with a largely zombified population (from the green gas). There are a few humans, like the heroine (as played by female wrestler Cutie Suzuki) left fighting the zombie menace. Or driving around. Or walking about in a daze. Yeah, that's what they do. Eventually, the heroine gets a leather suit from her father that is apparently imbued with special powers (that's never addressed and very poorly implied). She starts fighting these zombies and some random government agents that are inexplicably turning people into super half man, half zombie combos that perform...very...slow...martial arts.There are some cool scenes in this movie. However, most of the film will result in much yelling of "What the heck is going on?" There is much that is unclear and just never explained. The few explanations there are are fairly stupid and the climax is non-existant. It can be entertaining, but for the most part this movie is rather useless. I can only recommend it for completists.On a side note, I was surprised, pleasantly, that they didn't have Suzuki do a lot of wrestling. In fact, I can only seem to recall two or three wrestling moves. She mostly uses a one shot Uzi (?) or lifts people in impossible manners thanks to wires.
