Made in the same spirit as “Tokyo Gore Police” and “The Machine Girl”, “RoboGeisha” is another crazy picture from Japan with lots of gore and freakish imagery. Doing some research, it seems there are tons of these films (“Dead Sushi”, “Mutant Girls Squad” and “Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl” to name just a few) and they are practically part of their own genre.

In “RoboGeisha”, the youthful Yoshie Kasuga (Aya Kiguchi “Negative Happy Chainsaw Edge”) has natural strength and fighting ability so she is recruited by a shadowy organisation to be part of an army of geisha assassins. She discovers the company’s secret plans that threaten all of Japan and decides to rebel.

Where do I even begin with the characters in a film about a robot geisha assassin? Well, the characters here have slightly more personality than in “Tokyo Gore Police” but that’s not saying much at all. Unsurprisingly, many of the characters are murdered in the most disgusting ways imaginable. People are shot, stabbed, blown up and even have seafood stuffed into the eyes. The robot special effects on the geishas are not remotely convincing but they don’t really need to be in a film this cartoonish. You must particularly chuckle near the end when Yoshie transforms into a half-tank.

“RoboGeisha” did force me to chuckle a few times. However, this film is still a total mess. There’s no real story and it’s just an excuse for insane images. We see a girl get stabbed in the bottom yet we also see other girls have swordfights with swords sticking out of their bottoms and we see them shoot ninja stars from that area too. “RoboGeisha” and the other films in the same ‘genre’ are just completely mad and have to be seen to be believed. They’re not good films at all but they are certainly unique.
