Sentô shôjo: Chi no tekkamen densetsu



















http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1590796/
Rin (Yumi Sugimoto) is a bullied 16year old girl, actually she is only 15, but she 10minutes into the movie get celebrated by her parents on her 16th birthday.
The girls at school think she is somekind of freak and throw shoes at her and knocks her out cold. There is something thou about her hand that has mysterious powers.














The movie however starts with 3 girls attacking some men with machineguns attached to their noses (seemingly the machineguns looks like a mans penis).
Heads being sliched and mutates into big ballons and brains and other messy stuff fly all over the place.













So, at Rins birthday party her dad (wonderfully played by Kanji Tsuda) tells her about her special powers. Rin ofcourse is chocked, but suddenly some men with machine guns attached to their noses walks in.

Rin is being chased down the street and a local news reporter and her camera crew follows her and some memorable quotes and funny scenes happens.

Right from the start we are more or less told the moral of the story, presented in a funny splattering way that only japanese film directors can do; some of us are different but in all our differences we are all capable of doing great things.
It is also a spoof or tribute to the classic tale on X:Men.
The director Noboru Iguchi also pays tribute to his classic Hajirai mashin gâru.













Even a tribute to the most classic scene in Cannibal Holocaust is here.













Rin is being taken to a place where she will learn to control her special powers and she also gets an cute assistent named Yoshie
(also a tribute to Hajirai mashin gâru) who this time is played by the cute Suzuka Morita.











Rin is being trained and even slightly tortured with electric.

Noboru Iguchi - the director/screenwriter, is soon a living legend, if he allready isn´t one.
This movie has so many great quotes and scenes that if I would write them all down it would be to much, so I sudgest you buy this movie as soon as possible.
If you don´t find this movie hillarious then you have no sense of humor ^_^
