Summary of Lady Snowblood
Set in turn-of-the-century Japan, the samurai cult classic LADY SNOWBLOOD stars Meiko Kaji as the avenging assassin Yuki, a young woman whose father is murdered and her mother raped and imprisoned by a sadistic gang of criminals. The prison-born Yuki is trained from birth to be a ruthless martial-arts killing machine bent on exacting revenge for her family's sufferings--which she does, with bloodthirsty gusto. Adapted from a manga written by Kazuo Koike, the creator of the legendary LONE WOLF AND CUB series, this classic tale of female wrath incorporates montage sequences from the original comics and was the key influence to Quentin Tarantino's KILL BILL opus.
