Mayuko Iwasa (Beautiful Female Panther: Body Sniper) is an attractive Japanese actress. She stars as a scantly-clad cyborg government agent in “Power Rangers” director Koichi Sakamoto’s 009ノ1: The End of the Beginning, a live-action adaptation of the Shotaro Ishinomori manga 009-1.

A trailer for the film has gone online and it is absolutely awesome. Iwasa kicks thug ass, races motorcycles and faces down military helicopters while looking hot in skintight booty-shorts and knee-high boots. There’s also plenty of girl-on-girl action—the fighting and loving kind.

Posted above is the official one-sheet for German filmmaker Uwe Boll’s Seed 2: The New Breed. The poster features a knife-wielding gimp menacing a young, pretty woman who is either in the throes of orgasm or has just enjoyed a refreshing lemon-lime beverage. It’s hard to tell.

Seed 2: The New Breed stars Nick Principe (Laid to Rest) as Seed, Caroline Williams (Hatchet III), Natalie Scheetz (Madison County), Annika Strauss (Necronos), Sarah Hayden and Clatto favorite Christa Campbell (Drive Angry).

Type AB has dropped a trailer for writer and director Brian Netto’s Delivery, a found-footage thriller about a young married couple who experience unholy phenomena while having their first pregnancy documented on a reality show.

Going by the trailer, the film looks pretty damn twisted and intense. Actors Laurel Vail and Danny Barclay star as the not-so-lucky parents-to-be and looker Elizabeth Sandy (pictured) plays someone named Jenny, who we hope provides the nudity relief.

Delivery plays the Los Angeles Film Festival on June 18 and June 21.
