     Growing up I was not fond of Asian films.  However, my exposure to them was very limited to mostly giant monster films.  I liked Godzilla, Gamera, and a few other random flicks but for the most part they were...different and did not sit well with me.  That changed once someone in a horror forum told me to watch Battle Royale.  That day my views on Asian cinema would change forever.  I then got my hands on The Machine Girl and a slight obsession started to take hold.  After watching that on Netflix I put a slew of Asian splatter flicks in my instant queue.  This one just happened to be one of them and I watched it multiple times that day. 
    As you gathered from the title, this flick is about a mutant girls squad, however, there is a great deal plot wise regarding them.  The story follows a teenage girl who is harassed by her fellow classmates.  While celebrating her sixteenth birthday her father tells her that she is different.  He then pulls his shirts and pants off to expose large pulsating tumors on his nipples and pecker area.  Her father tells her that she is a mutant and then the police, wearing masks with long noses that shoot bullets, bust into the room and shoot her father and mother.  Rin, the birthday girl, then mutants and her right hand turns into a metal clad claw.  She then goes on a bloody rampage through town until she meets another girl from her school.  Here she tells her that she is not alone and there are others like her. Rei, the young girl who is also a mutant, takes Rin to a rebel camp with other female mutants that are lead by a transvestite.  They want to wage a war with the humans that have persecuted them for centuries.  The transvestite can clearly see that she is not a full mutant, but instead a human/mutant hybrid.  The transvestite has been brainwashing the young girls to commit suicide bombings around town so he can use the blood being spilled to open an ancient body armor type contraption.  However, Rin can not condone the killing of humans even though they took her parents from her and tries to prevent the other from carrying out the suicide pacts.  Rin, and another mutant Yoshi, battle it out with Rei until she realizes it is wrong too.  The three mutants then go to battle the transvestite but it is too late.  He had used the blood from a government official to open the body armor and goes on a bloody rampage.  It is up to the three mutants to stop him before he takes over the world.
     I loved this flick.  This movie was truly insane in every sense of the word.  Some of the mutants had the craziest mutations.  Some had tit swords and small hands coming from their ears while others had chainsaws that pop out of their asses.  Most of the movie gives you that "what the fuck" feeling.  What I really liked about this movie is the everything.  The story is unlike anything you will lay your eyes on.  The acting is good and the effects are amazing.  They really did a good job mixing the practical and CGI effects.  The only thing I did not like about this one is the ass kicking that the girls deal out just drags on and on.  They honestly just fight, and fight, and fight for a majority of the film.  Other than that this movie is awesome.  This movie definitely needs to be watched so get to it.
