(UPDATED) K7 possibly a Quickgirl homage Note: You may want to view this page instead since it's formatted better.
EDIT: 4/28/06 on second thought just view the gamespy page instead. This post is formatted horribly.

Note: Screencaps taken with a quickcam from a recording that I made way back in 2002 off of Sky perfect TV ch.273.
Quickgirl is a noir/dark humour 15 min. skit from the late night show http://www.vpn-tv.net/contents/program/contents/24/girl.html Vermilion Pleasure Night.
(The most popular skit from VPN consists of an American family of mannequins http://www.fuccon-family.com"The Fuccon Family".
Personally I don't really understand what's so funny about the Fuccon Family. It's wierd I'll give it that.
I much prefer the eerie sarcasm & dark humour of Quick Girl.)
Quickgirl involves 4 female assassins,who each have a contract to kill one another.
Not a single word of dialogue is spoken through out the entire skit.
(Except for the small exception of women groaning in pain,and the death cries of the many victims of the Quick girls.)
Instead of dialogue you hear an ambient/techno like soundtrack that changes themes according to the situation,
and which ever assassin happens to be on screen at the time.
Quickgirl is very surreal & has several "what the fuck" moments just like Killer 7.
It feels almost as if you were viewing some demented dream or nightmare.
Even the blood & gore sprays in a exaggeratted fashion akin to Killer 7.
The show builds up the suspense as the two main characters try to kill each other.
However the battle never happens,because one of them gets shot to death by a mob.
The 4 hitwomen are
Mary: The main character,and the ILLest of the four assassins.
A woman donning all black leather,and sports a big hat. Her special skill is sniping.
Mary is the spitting image of the infamous
http://www.becksincrediblefilmfest.co.nz/femcon.html Lady Scorpion</a>.
(Linda Vermillion's character design was probably influenced by both Mary & Scorpion.)
Mary spends the majority of her time chilling at a fine resturant,and waiting for the precise moment to strike.
She emerges the victor of Quickgirl after sniping a direct hit at the forehead of Reiko.
Or so she thought.
Lina: The other main character. A beautiful milky white skinned female,that I nicknamed the "Camellia". IMO she is the sexist of the four.
Her special skill is that she is highly trained with blades.
She wears all white,and is cunningly cold & vicious.
Lina racks in the highest kill count out of the four assassins.
Her suave tyrant like demeanor is quite similar to Dan Smith.
Not only is she deadly with a knife,Lina also possesses the ability to scan an area in search of any invisible threat who could do potential harm to her.
(This ability is much similar to Garcian Smith's ability to scan an area for the Heaven Smile.)
Note: By invisible threat,I mean anyone who is armed with concealed weapons.
Unfortunately it is this very same ability that causes her downfall.
Reiko: She wears a green leather jacket. She is the tactician of the four rivals.She is the least eccentric of the Quick girls.
Reiko gets the least screen time.
Lina would've most likely came out the victor of Quickgirl if it weren't for Reiko's well thought out ploy to distract her with countless armed salary men.
Erika: The oddball of the four female assassins. She wears skintight clothing.
By far the cu-*test*-('") of the four hit women.
Erika likes to lick ice cream cones,and has a really sweet ride.
She seems a bit aloof,but she uses that to her advantage.
Erika was the first assassin to die.
Or at least appeared to.
For some reason or another Erika comes back at the very end of the skit,and runs over Mary as she was leaving the fine resturant.
I'm guessing she has the ability of reincarnation.
Note: The following is only a portion of scenes from Quick Girl. I only scanned the significant parts of the 15 min. clip.)
SCENE 1
After viciously gunning down an asilant at a restroom,Mary is seen rising from a subway & taking a stroll.
She enters a high classed resturant,and sips on some fine wine.
After a couple of moments,she walks up to the rooftop of the resturant.
To set up her sniping position.
SCENE 2
This scene starts off with Erika cruising in her ride.
She makes a stop at a mall,and eroticly eats some ice cream.
Erika is then seen walking down a hall toward a set of lockers.
After a couple of moments,an ominous figure in the background donned in all white attire can be seen trailing Erika.
As the pale figure closed in on her target...
Erika's throat is slashed in less than a split second.
Blood starts to splatter everywhere creating a blood fountain.
The blood spray was so relentless that even by standers were drenced in Erika's blood.
As Erika is gasping for air you finally get a good view of the killer.
The killer steals Erika's locker key.
The killer's identity is none other than Lina.
Lina looks on with a cold stare as Erika clucthes her throat.
After a few moments Erika finally lays on the ground motionless.
<br> Lina continues on to the set of lockers.
Using Erika's locker key she opens a locker that contains a bag.
Lina nabs the bag,and then proceeds to move on about her buisness.
SCENE 3
Lina casually walks around the mall.
Glaring at everybody with a poker faced death stare.
A generic Japanese boy passes by minding his own buisness.
However Lina senses that he has a gun,and her ability to scan the area starts to surround her vision with static
& envisions the generic japanese boy drawing the firearm at her.
Lina leaves the boy be,since he doesn't mean any harm.
A moment later Lina is than eyeed by a generic Japanese woman.
Once again Lina's ability foretells her that the generic japanese woman is armed.
Lina ignores this woman as well,since the generic japanese woman did not draw her gun.
After a long while Lina eyes a janitor.
Lina scans him with her ability,just like she did the previous two.
The screen fills with static,and she envisions the janitor pulling out a pistol.
In a split second moment Lina draws out her firearm,and guns the janitor down.
It appears that this time the armed threat,had the balls to step up to her.
Lina stares down at the raggedy mans lifeless body.
SCENE 4
After a dramatic pause,Lina turns around and glances at the two consumers that passed by her path earlier.
She points her gun directly at them.
The two generic Japanese consumers know what's on Lina's mind.
So they try to make their escape.
Lina chases them down the hall as they try to allude their death.
To no avail Lina caps the otaku & the woman straight in the heart.
She than walks back to the dead body of the janitor.
Kicks him straight in the head,and unloads a whole clip on his 6 ft. deep ass.
All who witnessed the massacre dared not approach her.
Lina makes her way out of the mall,looking scrumpiously delicious with blood covering her face.
Shortly after her ability scans a sudden influx of oponents who are ready & willing to take her out,and I don't mean on a date.
Lina is swarmed by men in three piece suits,yet she chooses not to make a preemptive strike.
As she reached the side walk Lina is then stopped by a woman who pulls a gun at her.
This woman is the assassin known as Reiko.
SCENE 5
As if out of reflex Lina draws her gun aiming directly for Reiko's head.
The two ladies get into a stare down.
When suddenly Reiko's ambush party jumped in.
Reiko starts to grin happily as if she already won the battle.
She walks off,and leaves Lina to fend for herself.
As if on cue the firing squad guns down Lina at point blank range finally ending the life of the tyrant.
Reiko who is casually walking away from the scene only makes it 15 feet away before she bites the bullet all of a sudden.
You guessed it Reiko was killed by Mary.
Although the slug was meant for Lina,Reiko should suffice.
Mary disassembles her piece,and walks back down to the resturant where she proceeds to finish her glass of wine
As Mary is seen walking along to her path of victory...
A speeding car drives by,and runs her over.
The driver turned out to be Erika,who appeared to have died earlier.
She is seen erotically finsihing up another ice cream cone.
Erika stops at the mall where she was killed earlier &,throws the cone on the ground.
She observes her suroundings & makes her merry way.
Erika has survived to slay another day.

Whoo whee after a two month long hiatus I've finally posted up the article for this thread.
Akura- 01-28-2006
Have you got a link for download? Or have you got it on your PC or something? Seeing your synopsis and caps, I really want to watch it.
KIRBY 7- 01-30-2006
Nah,I took the scans from a vhs recording that I made when I was living in Japan.
I doubt that you could find a link anywhere on the internet,since the only VPN skit that's popular with folks overseas is The Fuccons.
Though I am planning to buy the dvd that has the Quick Girl film in it.
I'll be sure to host up the Quick Girl file when & if I get that VPN dvd.
Quickgirl has an atmosphere that feels just like Killer 7.
Even down to the moody techno music.
BTW I saw your post earlier,the one when you claimed to be bi sexual.
It's nice to see that you have good taste in women.
(I didn't post a reply,because I'm busy updating the site.)
Lina has the ILLest theme song.
It starts off with some creepy bass hook,and than you hear eerie pianos chords in the background.
Shit is dope.
If you liked what you saw of Lina wait until you see the intro where she masquerades as a stripper,only to stick a gun up some guies mouth,and cap him full of slugs.
Erika's scene was mad tight as well.
She's having dinner with some yakuza thug,when all of a sudden she throws a glass of water at him.
Flips the table over,and unloads her nine on his ass.
Mary had the most badass scene,but I already scanned it up here.
She traps somebody inside a bathroom stall,kicks it open,and blows their brains apart with a combat/riot shotgun.

Wow, I gotta see this. If you can tell me the name of the DVD, I'd love to try and hunt it down. The whole "scanning the room" thing that Lina does sounds just like Garcian and his vision ring.

Vermilion Pleasure Night Vol.4

The dark techno soundtrack,&the visuals is also very K7'sh.
True Grave- 04-24-2006
I thank you greatly good sir. Actually I need to ask you somethign else. I'm very inticed by the girl animation in your sig. Heh, who is she, and what is that from?
Jedilink- 04-24-2006
HAHA! I know the answer to that question!!! The girl's name is Reon Kadena! I know cuz I asked Topdrunkee about it! :P
Fulgor- 04-26-2006
Somebody knows a page where i can download the OST??
KIRBY 7- 04-28-2006
Somebody knows a page where i can download the OST??
I know of a place where you can buy a sound track,but i have no idea if any of the Quick Girl songs are in the cd.
http://us.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/code-j/section-music/pid-1001809632/
You sure are blunt when it comes to pirating sound tracks.
I doubt that there's a down load anywhere, like I've been saying the only VPN skit that's known outside of Japan are the Fuccons.
I'm willing to bet that this web site is the first time anybody out side of Japan has ever refrenced Quick girl.
The girl's name is Reon Kadena!
Kadena is a wild Osakan beauty.
BTW that's not her real name,that's just the stage name she goes by.
I forget what her birth given name was.
KIRBY 7- 05-27-2006
Good news. Vermilion Pleasure night has finally been localized by ADV.
http://www.advfilms.com/ReviewDetails.asp?ID=1880
Hopefully they'll stick with VPN long enough to show the Quick Girl skit.
True Grave- 05-28-2006
Oh that is awsome. I hope so too.
Fredrick2003- 07-17-2006
So has anyone ordered the DVD yet O_o?
True Grave- 08-15-2006
ADV did it! They just released VPN vol. 2. It contains series 3&4 of VPN. So I finally got to see Quikgirl all the way through. And it was ILL. I found it at Best Buy in the anime section for $15.99. The best part of Quickgirl, or at least a damn cool part was the very end that Top didn't mention. Man I'll keep it quiet just cuz it rocks. In fact Erika is featured on the cover, right after she gets her neck cut. Pretty wild. Oh and that car Erika drives is an Alpha Romeo Quadrifolio (sp?) Spider. And where did Mary get her Vet? LOL.
Fredrick2003- 08-16-2006
So... was it like Killer 7 in any way?
