From MVD Entertainment. Stunning '70s cult siren, Meiko Kaji (
Lady Snowblood,
Female Convict Scorpion), blasts off in her first headlining role! A novice yakuza boss in early 20th century Japan, she must defend her clan against a vengeful blind swordswoman (Hoki Tokuda), her bizarre hunchback servant (Tatsumi Hijikata), as well as villain Toru Abe's gang of bloodthirsty killers. Director Teruo Ishii (
Female Yakuza Tale) delivers a bizarre hybrid of Japanese horror and yakuza genres featuring a nomadic terror carnival, girls skinned alive for their tattooed epidermis, and a succession of brutal swordfights. Actress Kaji offers prime evidence of why she became the top female action star of 1970's Japan. One of the key cult films from Nikkatsu, the studio that also released the unforgettable, offbeat hit
Tokyo Drifter. Combo Pack includes both Blu-Ray and DVD formats.
