this be one of those movie that have an all japanese motivation . a girl be train from childhood to avenge the death of her father and the brutal rape of her mother . then she do it . lot of blood and lot of sword fighting . well and she do most of it and everybody else pretty much dy . the movie be well do and although i think it be hard to watch for most of the people nowadays and since it have that 60 70 feel to it . i can see how this could have be an inspiration for kill bill . if you like kill bill for other reason than that it have uma thurman and lucy liu in it and then you will love this film . if you watch the movie and you will probably have fun and but if you look at the whole picture ( pun intend ) there isn not much to it other than the actual revenge and death of everyone . the girl be very nice and the acting be ok and the atmosphere and setting and soundtrack be good and but that all . no strange twist of the story and nothing unexpected .
