2010 Hole Head Program Guide - Robo Geisha
Robo Geisha
Dir: Noboru Iguchi
Robo Geisha is an explosive portrayal of sibling rivalry between a young maiko, geisha apprentice and her dominant Geisha sister. The two are brought in under the fold of an evil steel baron who has particularly evil plans. He unleashes continual terror on the local populace by kidnapping their daughters and transforming them into ‘tengu,’ goblins that are part devil and part machine. Yes, Noboru Iguchi who brought Machine Girl to the world is back at it with some of the most hilarious machines, devils and bomb wielding robots imaginable.
Robo Geisha takes our squabbling sisters from the Geisha house to the steel baron’s evil factory where his army of machine ‘tengu’ killers are helping him train the Geisha girls to become the ultimate assassins. Along the way we have battle scenes with Robo-Breast milk that sprays burning acid into the faces of an opponent and the eventual six million dollar ‘Robo moment’ where breast implants go beyond the esthetic of perky to well, a lovely rack that can spray machine gun bullets. Whirling saw blades slide from the Geisha smile… Traditional ninja and samurai weapons are artfully deployed throughout the film in unrelenting absurdity. There is no limit to the creative design here and by the time we reach the ultimate battle scene a Robo-Monster is unleashed. Trust me on this. You’ll howl.
Robo Geisha brings out a double fistful of extraordinary moments. My personal favorite? Oh, there are too many to pick one. Really. Still, there is something utterly hilarious about deep fried prawns used in battle as an implement of death. “Friend shrimp in my eyes! Argh!” Yeah, well you’ll need to see this one to believe it and I’m happy to report that clearly the spirit of The Machine Girl lives on!!
Noboru Iguchi’s Robo Geisha is utterly hilarious and both long time fans and new ones will be blown away.
