A product of the same
"Cyberpunk Cinema" that created TETSUO
and ELECTRIC
DRAGON, this one tells the story of an android sex slave and the
girl who befriends him. A high-tech company creates superhuman "love"
cyborgs (known as the "Pinocchio" series) and sells them to
sexually frustrated older women. The movie begins when a dissatisfied
customer kicks one such sex-android into the Tokyo streets because she
found him inadequate for her bizarre tastes. The creature wanders aimlessly
until a young streetgirl adopts him. The waif, Himiko, helps him regain
his memory but with it comes unbridled anger and, ultimately, vengeance.

A group
of scientists are conducting experiments with psychic communication. They
seal a man inside a rubber suit, strap him to an operating table and torture
him mercilessly. At one point, due to their own zeal, these doctors inadvertently
blowup his body. However, the experiments continue · albeit in
a slightly revised fashion · as they "recruit" one of
their own, Shinuka for the deadly session... When headquarters sends a
young woman to shut down the project, the scientists become infuriated.
They captured her, rape her, beat her and then, with electrodes, they
link the poor girl to the "Shinuka Experiment."
