| This is without a doubt the baddest Sue Shiomi flick around. From the atmospheric opening in the abandoned church, to the awesome final fight in the windy wheat field, this is about as cool as it gets. Shiomi is beautiful and badass as always. Chiba turns in a cool cameo as the stern father, and the great Yasuaki Kurata lays the smack down as Shiomi's savage sidekick.
There is also no shortage of bad guys for them to square off against, the absolute coolest being Mashashi Ishibashi. He was pretty fierce as Junjo in the "Street Fighter" flicks, but that was nothing compared to this. He is straight out of a Manga comic here. White haired, blind, and downright scary.
There is some lag here and there. Like a weird naked dance scene that makes no sense whatsoever. But there's enough sweet action to keep things going. If you liked the "Street Fighter" and "Sister Street Fighter" flicks, you will most likely dig this one. |
