I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The Japanese are renowned for their whacky sense of humour, but they also have a darker side, or in this case a sicker side. Sadism, rape, murder, necrophilia, cannibalism? These are schoolboy jokes, not adult entertainment. Alas, all and more are included herein. The wife of a doctor is murdered before his eyes by one of the most degenerate human beings on the face of the planet; the doctor himself is crippled by the same lowlife but left alive so he can tell the world what a wonderful person his benefactor is. Not. He decides not unreasonably to exact revenge on this individual, and comes up with an extremely novel plan (one that is physically impossible in several ways). This is where Gun Woman comes in.At this point she is his slave, but he promises her her freedom if she completes her bloody mission, which involves an act of mass murder, even granted that all those who are to die almost certainly deserve it. Can she really trust this man though, who murders an innocent woman in front of her eyes as part of her training? More to the point, doesn't the Doctor realise he has become what he seeks to destroy?Any points this one gets are strictly for mild special effects, and a half decent soundtrack by Dean Harada.

Get this for a crazy plot: a gifted doctor (Kairi Narita) rehabilitates meth addict Mayumi (Asami) and trains her to become a deadly killer in order to exact revenge on Hamazaki's Son, the necrophiliac sicko who raped and murdered his wife. The doctor's highly improbable plan for revenge involves surgically implanting gun parts into Mayumi's body, injecting her with a drug that makes her appear to be dead, and smuggling her 'corpse' into The Room, a secret place where Hamazaki's Son pays to satisfy his twisted urges. Rather surprisingly, Mayumi goes along with the doctor's plan, which, once she has reawakened from her death state, requires her to tear open her body, remove and assemble her gun, and take out several tough guards, before assassinating her target.When I met AV star turned actress Asami last year at a convention in Germany, she was busy promoting the production of this movie with director Kurando Mitsutake; little did I know then that the film would become an instant favourite of mine, a modern classic of the Japanese revenge genre that mixes extreme stylishness and extreme content in equal measures to deliver a thoroughly exhilarating exploitation experience. Superbly directed, brutally violent, very gory, and packed with full frontal female nudity from its star Asami, Gun Woman is an insanely enjoyable movie that doesn't let logic (or clothes) to get in the way of the fun. Mitsutake knows that his story is far fetched, but just runs with it, delivering jaw dropping scene after dropping scene of violence and sex, all in the name of entertainment.During the course of the film, we witness Hamazaki's Son enjoying a spot of sexy time with a stiff before taking a bite from her body (cannibalism costs extra), a drugged up bimbo bleeding to death, Mayumi bonking the doctor before undergoing surgery to conceal her gun, a guard being killed betwixt a naked Mayumi's thighs, the gruesome removal and assembly of the firearm, a shotgun-toting bitch in a rubber mini-skirt, stockings and suspenders having her brains blown out, a bloody (and still completely unclothed) Mayumi leaping through the air in slow motion while firing her gun, and, in the film's coolest moment, a half-dead (and still starkers) Mayumi cutting off her hair to use as a tourniquet. If that isn't enough to whet your appetite, the film also features a terrific score and theme song, the unforgettable sight of a gore-soaked Mayumi (still in the buff) carrying Hamazaki's Son's severed head, and a nifty surprise ending that wraps things up very nicely indeed.

basic summary: lots of gore, nudity, simple plot and mediocre acting. yet somehow ended up rather entertaining. seriously there is lots of gore and nudity combined, aka the last like 20 mins or so features the bloody and naked main character fulling her, um, purpose. not for the faint of heart or for those with nudity issues. great 80's themed soundtrack and very stylish (as in grind house style) that is consistent throughout. this won't be winning any academy awards but for those whose don't mind the, 'artistic' use of gore and nudity this is a decently entertaining film.

OK so its your typical Japanese gore movie except with a good story and some really nice twists. Wasn't sure during the first half of the movie as it felt kinda slow but totally has a great 2nd half.Really enjoyed watching this and would rate it with other great movies like Machine Girl, Tokyo Gore Police, Versus, Robo Geisha, Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl, Mutant Girls Squad, Helldriver, Gothic & Lolita Psycho, Battlefield Baseball, Meatball Machine etc.So if you enjoy these kind of movie, than this one is going to be a treat and would def make your fav list. Lots of nudity by just one girl but makes sense.This is just a good movie which I enjoyed watching, one does not need to point out all the loop holes or how there could have been other ways to get the job done stuff. Just enjoy.
