Assault Girls is a Japanese live action film directed by Mamoru Oshii, released in 2009, starring Meisa Kuroki and Rinko Kikuchi. The film is an unofficial sequel to Avalon (2001).
In the aftermath of a nuclear war, four people fight against sandwhales in a desolate looking virtual reality. All of them seek to kill the game's end boss, and to do so they are forced to ally.
Tropes that apply to this film:
- After the End: A virtual apocalyptic landscape within a true apocalyptic landscape.
- Girls with Guns: All three of the girls are capable of kicking plenty of ass with firearms.
- Leave the Camera Running: Many takes drag on, including the opening shot.
- Number of the Beast: Lucifer is Player 0666.
