Movie night at Swinburne Sarawak

Just now my friends and I went to Swinburne lecture theater hall for Swinburne movie night which the movie night organized by Swinburne Japanese club. The movie night suppose start at 7:30p.m but it delay until around 8p.m due to some technical problems. The movies that will show tonight were “The Machine Girl” and “Zatoichi”. When the movie started, I noticed only around 70 people come to see the movies. After saw the movies I felt the first movie was more interesting than the second movie. So, my friends and I decided left the lecture theater hall when the second movie just shows in the half. Below were some picture and summary of the movie:
THE FIRST MOVIE
Summary of the movie:
The film starts with Ami Hyuga killing a group of bullies who were picking on a guy. After she eliminates the bullies, she tells him the story of her life before she became what she is. She was just an average high school girl, trying to lead a normal life. Her world came crashing down when her brother and his friend are killed by the members of the yakuza and their young leader. As Ami tracks down the ringleader, she is surprised to discover the bullies' association with a sinister ninja yakuza family. When she goes after her revenge, she soon finds herself in over her head and minus her left arm. Barely surviving, Ami escapes and seeks out shelter from two kindly garage mechanics, the parents of her brother's friend. They take pity on her, fitting her with a high-powered machine gun where her arm used to be. She then teams up with the chainsaw-wielding mother of her brother's slain friend and together they unleash an unholy, non-stop kill fest against the killer of their loved ones. Eventually, they reach the place where the yakuza are hiding. As the fight continues, the chainsaw-wielding mother of her brother's slain friend loses her right foot then eventually dies. Ami loses her machine gun when she fights with the father of the young yakuza leader. She gets the chainsaw of the mother who died earlier. The young yakuza leader cowardly uses some students as hostage and also as shield against Ami. Ami Hyuga is ready to kill the young leader, but his mother is there. She fights with the mother of her brother's killer. As the fight progresses she loses her chainsaw. The mother of the young yakuza leader reveals that she is wearing a drill bra, and presses herself against Ami's breasts, drilling into them. Ami is then thrown to the ground, and the mother attempts to drill the face of Ami. The young leader comes to his mother and Ami uses the chainsaw on them. Ami sets the hostages free. Outside, Ami tries to kill herself but is stopped when someone arrives. The person who arrives is not seen, because the movie ends.



The SECOND movie
Summary of the movie(From internet):
Kitano plays the role of the blind swordsman himself. The film's plot follows a traditional theme, with Zatōichi coming to the defense of townspeople caught up in a local Yakuza gang war, and being forced to pay excessive amounts of protection money. Meanwhile, Zatōichi befriends a local farmer and her gambler nephew and eventually offers his assistance two geisha siblings (one of whom is actually a man) who are seeking revenge for the murder of their parents. The siblings are the only survivors of a massacre that was carried out on their family estate in order to obtain large sums of money. They soon discover the people responsible for the murders are the same Yakuza wreaking havoc on the small town.After slicing his way through an army of henchmen, Zatōichi defeats the Yakuzas' bodyguard, a powerful ronin, in a duel. Zatōichi later wanders into town and confronts the Yakuza bosses, killing the second-in-command and blinding the elderly Yakuza boss. The film ends with an unexpected dance number led by noted Japanese top dance troupe The Stripes and Zatōichi walking down a trail, tripping over a rock then saying "Even with my eyes wide open, I can't see a damn thing".
