vibbles21 I picked up Robo-Geisha not knowing what it was, I love B movie so i decided to give it a try. I must say, this movie was a thrill to watch! The plot is simple. It narrated by a Robo-Geisha named Yoshie. Yoshie tells the story on how she became a Robo-Geisha and why she became a robo-geisha / what they were used for. Bam! There you go the plot!If you enjoy obviously fake special effect, incredible stupid weapons, and all that jazz. You'd enjoy this movie, however, there some negatives. Some of the things they say are stupid and a bit confusing. The ending was OK, i just had a couple question left unanswered. Other then that i liked it. If you liked it go check out "Machine Girl" it's from the same people who made this movie!

snarko Let me start I AM FEMALE: usually boys only like this type of flick, but if you're that chick (as I am), HOLY FUN FUN FUN!!! What I signed up for, and GOT: Awesome (and incredibly, um, "inventive") fighting, chicks who kick butt, lame Godzilla-type monsters you laugh at (the rubber-suit), good tension between woman relationships, and--I hate this watching some Japanese--no rape scenes. One scene kinda off a bit and hit a nerve, but not as bad as most. Most things a feminist (I am) would scream at are them making fun of their own culture, and a total HOOT!And pink good pick: US would have done black... LA-aaaME!!! If you're into this style of flick (it's a flick, not film: get over it), it's everything you want, nothing you don't!!! I sat with jaw dropped clear to ground on edge of seat for most the flick--I couldn't guess what was next, and it kept breaking my expectation for the ABSOLUTE ABSURD..."I have one too!" Nearly missed this fabulous scene, laughing SO hard!It's a Japanese future "Dead Alive": a worthy cult classic nomination. Why doesn't the Academy Awards do that category? I work in progressive politics: the portrayal of the elders who fight for their children couldn't make me laugh harder. It's all teasing fun; it's all too true, thus genuinely FUNNY.Two points off some scenes could have been better, and the near-rape. I hate that stuff.

JoeB131 You know, I'm willing to concede, there is something about Japanese movies that maybe I'm not getting. But this one is strange.Essentially an evil corporation is kidnapping girls and training them to be assassins dressed as Geishas or maybe robot assassins dressed as Geishas or something. What we have are a bunch of over the top action scenes with women sprouting weapons for all sorts of body parts where you wouldn't expect there to be a weapon.I think this is supposed to be a comedy.The girls are kind of hot and the action scenes are kind of interesting, although when the castle turns into a giant robot and starts smashing building, I'm not sure why the building start spurting blood.

MisterWhiplash Robo-geisha's trailer had me in stitches, because it doesn't show anything about what the 'plot' of the movie is. It's all just images, a voice saying things that will be in the movie, like, say, Fried Shrimp. And indeed there is Fried Shrimp in the movie, and it's used for rather violent effect. But everything in Noboru Iguchi's film is completely tasteless, nearly every second. I have to wonder if the scenes that are actually meant to be taken seriously- such as those moments where see the bond between Yoshie and her sister- are meant to be funny as well. While I wasn't laughing out loud for every moment of the madness, there was enough to make it a crowd-pleaser. What kind of crowd depends on where you're seeing it or what circumstances.Oh this is a silly, sick little flick. If you've seen The Machine Girl, or anything by that group of new Japanese directors who have their previous experience in special effects, you know where their minds are at (the other one, Nishimura, made Tokyo Gore Police and he's collaborating with Noboru on Mutant Girls Squad, which sounds just peachy). Nothing is really too outrageous or stupid, and Noboru goes for it. I loved seeing how he would try and top himself within a scene, hell, within a shot. Watch in that first opening scene, where the Robogeisha first shows herself, and how far it goes: the level of humor in the businessman's reaction to the buzzsaw in her mouth, and the reaction one gets from seeing the "other" being inside of the Robogeisha! And just when you think the film is going for something with the two "Twins" with the penis-mask-faces, wait till you see their swords coming out of their asses (and they're embarrassed by them!)The surprises are what make the film as entertaining as it really is. While Noboru deserves some points for getting some genuinely good direction in some scenes... some being the operative word, he's mostly a director for the exploitation-picture sect. This is a world where girls can turn into tanks (no, that's not a misprint), buildings bleed CGI blood, and old men in wheelchairs have secret guns hidden in their kneecaps. Need I go on? You know who you are if you go for this kind of stuff; I imagine going in cold on Robo-geisha would be a sobering experience. How would one feel seeing, for the first time, an absurdist take on world domination by a corporation that gets girls who are tired of their over-dominated existence at home, and become killing machines (literally in most cases) to help assist this world domination/destruction with the crudest comedy this side of Takashi Miike meets Tom & Jerry? I suppose it would feel... hopefully awesome, if one is in the right frame of mind. It's not a movie for the faint-hearted (some of the gore is bug-f*** crazy, even if it is, sadly sometimes, CGI), and safe to say it won't win any Oscars. But it's got hot Japanese girls kicking ass and playing everything for laughs with cute-straight faces. Oh, and did I mention there's a Robo-Castle? Yeah, kind of weird, especially as it does a robot dance on Mount Fiji.
