Samurai Princess
2009 – Japan

“When 11 of her friends are raped and murdered, leaving the Samurai Princess the only survivor, she becomes infused with her comrades' souls. Transformed into an android, she sets out to avenge their deaths. “
Samurai Princess struck me as sort of a poor man's Tokyo Gore Police. It clearly has much smaller budget, but does that doom it for failure? In my opinion, no. This is one of those films that if you go into it with the right frame of mind you will not be disappointed. If you like over the top gore, that is.
And I sure do. 
Even with its low budget barrier Samurai Princess manages to pull of some fairly effective gore, blood, and guts. While the story is definitely mediocre it isn't horrible. The gore is definitely what this one all about, gore with a twist of twistedness. (again, same vein as TGP.) I'm talking breast hand grenades, saw blade chest cavity weapons, scissor legs, a protruding penis weapon and (for some true cheese) a dude that kicks some ass by playing guitar riffs in the direction of his foes.. Easy recommend for the Asian gore hound.
And thank you to MojoNexus for making me aware of this Japanese gore fest!
USELESS TRIVIA: I read online that the lead actress who plays the Samurai Princess is also an Japanese adult film star. Her name is Aino Kishi and she is hot. Here's her site: http://www.ainokishi.net More pics...
