13 | !!This film provides examples of: |
14 | |
15 | * AnArmAndALeg: the villains cut off Ami's left arm, inspiring her to replace it with a machine gun, hence the title of the film |
16 | * ArmCannon: Ami's machinegun replaces the left forearm the villains amputated. |
17 | * BMovie: Deliberately so. Perhaps even a ''C''-movie. |
18 | * {{BFG}}: Ami's gatling gun. If only for practical purposes, since it had to be big enough to conceal the actress's forearm. |
19 | * BetweenMyLegs: Ami's introduction. |
20 | * BloodyHilarious: Pretty much the movie's main draw. |
21 | * ChainsawGood: Both Ami and Miki in the final confrontation. |
22 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: The only way for Ami to gain Miki's trust is through an arm wrestling challenge in what Miki had defined a "Battle between people who have lost beloved ones". While it's not exactly an official therapeutic procedure, it seems to work. |
23 | * ExploitationFilm: definitely not high art, that's for sure. |
24 | * GatlingGood Ami's ArmCannon is actually a Gatling gun. |
25 | * {{Gorn}}: And how! |
26 | * HighPressureBlood: So much so that it makes one wonder how those who aren't killed instantly manage to do anything else. |
27 | * LovelyAngels: Ami and Miki. |
28 | * OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank: Enough blood is shed in this move to supply the Red Cross for 10 years. |
29 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: First they killed Ami's brother, then they cut off her hand. Now they're going to pay! |
30 | * RuleOfCool: the only thing that could possibly justifying all of the bloody silliness. For instance, Ami's Gatling gun, which somehow works despite having no visible ammunition supply. |
31 | * SailorFuku: Ami dons a schoolgirl's uniform for pretty much the whole movie for no good reason since she's supposedly a college student. |
32 | * SequelHook: Albeit one that was never elaborated on. There was a sequel, but it was InNameOnly. |
33 | * TrainingMontage: provided with also some shots of the [[GatlingGood weapon under construction]] which will later be used by Ami |
