A group of mutant girls with abilities that spoof the "X Men" go to war with the humans. The film centers on Rin (Yumi Sugimoto) who has big bad "Wolverine" claw. She is half human and displays empathy for her victims.Plenty of blood spray, I mean bring an umbrella, fire hose inane spray...no pumping squirts like their US counter parts. Film include some ugly cat fights, including a chainsaw from the butt of a cheerleader.No swearing or sex. Some nudity.

This film was strange, and honestly, whenever something from Japan appears in my mailbox thanks to what is left of Blockbuster, I find myself scratching my head.The plot is that a schoolgirl discovers she has the strange power to turn part of her body into a weapon. After slaughtering the residents of a local shopping mall, she is taken in by others of her her kind, called HILKO, who are apparently a subspecies of humanity with strange "treasures" including having odd things pop out of parts of your body you wouldn't expect them to.The movie's climax involves the HILKO destroying most of their members (isn't it hard to reproduce as a species if you kill all your young females?) in largely pointless attacks on regular Japanese folks before the few surviving ones get into a pointless, over the top battle.I'm not sure if this is supposed to be an action film or a comedy film.

As a bullied young girl blossoms into womanhood, she discovers she's a mutant with a robot claw. She's then whisked away to a school for mutants who teach her to exact revenge on the mortals who made her life a living hell.I chose to summarize my review of this bizarre Asian variation of X-Men with the word "relentless," which perfectly summarizes the film -- though that's not necessarily a negative thing depending upon one's tolerance for non-stop visual assaults of gore, depravity and toilet humor.Another reviewer compared it to early Peter Jackson, but more accurately it's early Peter Jackson meets The Power Rangers. The action is nonstop practically from beginning to end, the soundtrack wails, the characters/acting are all totally over the top and the visuals are stunning (both in composition and content). I dunno what kind of a budget the movie had, but it looks surprisingly slick and glossy.Personally I didn't like the film, but I can't in good conscience give it a bad review cuz I'm not a fan of Asian cinema in general. For what it is, the movie is well above average and pretty unique. If you've got a strong stomach and like REALLY demented Japanese movies, chances are you'll love this oddity.

Great movie, its fun, its funny, its entertaining. It has comedy, 3 pretty girls, action, blood and sex appeal.Watching the Iguchi movies, I always feel that the producers and directors are having fun while making the movies. This fun translates into the scenes and movies. This movies is not an exception, some of the comedic elements are hilarious - The Astro Boy scene is a laugh!!.The action in the movie is quite well done as well. The rampage by Rin in part 1 is very well done. The director knows how to frame the shots to actually make it look like fights.The acting by the 3 leads is solid, these girls shows an earnestness and professionalism in their roles, no bad B movie acting here. The bad guys are caricatures, the main baddie reminds me of the lead singer from Dead or Alive one of those 80s androgynous pop bands.The sex appeal - one of the sexiest scenes I have seen in awhile. Thats with both girls fully clothed from neck to toe standing up!!.Bravo!!
