While fans of Japanese fantasy movies and television have been glued to their screens watching the trailer for "The Ancient Dogoo Girl", another, equally stimulating, set of trailers for Mamoru Oshii's sci fi/actioner "Assault Girls" have flown in under the radar.
Now, if I can get your attention away from the "Dogoo Girl's" big breasts for just one minute, I would like to present to you a clip from a film with three Japanese hotties, Meisa Kuroki, Rinko Kikuchi and Hinako Saeki, firing big-ass guns at giant sand-worms that would make Frank Herbert (Dune) proud.
Aha! I knew that would get your attention!
The clip is a non-stop ride full of great visuals and action shots. A true testimony to what can be done with stat-of-the-art effects and a little imagination. Something that I wish the boys in Hollywood would take notice of....ahem.
In "Assault Girls" the three sexy hunters, Gray, Lucifer (cool wings!) and Colonel, land on a remote desert planet that has been destroyed by giant worms called Suna Kujira (sand whales). Their quest is to kill the largest, and most deadly of the species, the dreaded Madara Suna Kujira (spotted sand whale). With an arsenal of various weapons at their disposal the three intergalactic big game hunters enter into a game of hunter vs hunted. Only which is which?
Quiet Earth has a longer trailer, which I do have a copy of, but can't upload to Youtube, even though it is a 'flash' file (?), that you can see here - http://www.quietearth.us/articles/2009/10/09/Full-trailer-for-Mamoru-Oshiis-wormy-live-action-ASSAULT-GIRLS#extended
Also, here are some stills from "Assault Girls" :
