A fair warning towards the enthusiasts and the ignorant: this is not an action film. There is only one action sequence and it's towards the end of the film and it doesn't last long. There is hardly any blood-splashing mayhem, either. I felt this should be known to those who expect this film to have Meiko Kaji going on endless sprees of nihilistic butcherings and so forth, 'cause it's technically not an action film. Yes, the film has a revenge device, but it only happens when some douche gets gunned down, which is near the end.

I liked the film only because I'm in love with Meiko. She is sooooooo pretty. Guh. However, I wanted a blood-gushing kill-fest and pissed-off yakuza going apeshit over frivolous matters. But the film is good enough to keep me interested with its story about Meiko rejuvenating from her malevolent past and starting anew in some whorehouse or whatever. Then yakuza come and ruin everything and so on and so forth. The pacing of the film drags in certain parts, but overall it's consistent enough.

Recommend to Meikophiliacs. She wears a skirt with leather boots and it MADE ME HORNY!

The movie is fairly entertaining. It drags some but is worth watching once.

Another great Meiko Kaji vehicle where she is in the heart of the underbelly of seedy Ginza. This is a really great movie because, in addition to the blood-spraying violence and the drama of the down and out, there is a dash of humor, something that is rare in the Meiko Kaji movies I have seen ("Lady Snowblood" movies, "Female Prisoner Scorpion" movies, "Stray Cat Rock") and the humor was a welcome addition to the usual formula. Colorful and engaging, this is a must-have for all "Lady Snowblood" fans. It may not be the Meiji era, but she still finds a way to get a hold of a sword and mete out some justice on the bad guys.

Easily one of Meiko's most entertaining, engaging roles. This film is simply a lot of fun.

Great film with Meiko Kaji. In contrast to her other films, she is also funny in this one.

YYeah, this was probably the most 'lighthearted' we'd ever seen her and it just made her all the more cute.tasken_lander
