"
Before there was Beatrice Kiddo, the Bride, waking up after her supposed death & staining the snow with blood in Kill Bill vol. 1 ,
there was Yuki Kashima, aka Lady Snowblood, doing the same thing, but as the originator of these types of story themes, and as an early entry into the field of female film bad-asses."

The Ups: Beautifully shot. Poetic story. Glorious blood spurts from throat and heart. Cold female assassin that has only eyes for her own revenge and not others tragedies. One of the inspirations to Tarantino's "Kill Bill" series.
The Downs: That not every "Pink Violence" is as entertaining as this. "
"My favorite revenge origin story:
Sayo is raped and her family destroyed by a band of 4 criminals. Sayo is later sent to prison where she seduces a guard in order to create her only possible instrument for revenge, a daughter. Sayo dies during childbirth but this new child, Yuki, born in prison, is raised as an assassin so that she may one day seek vengeance on the four thugs that ruined her mother's life! She IS Lady Snowblood! AHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHH!

"Melkein killbillimpi kuin Tarantinon kunnianosoitus itse. "Kauniisti" kuvattu kostotarina on jaotettu lukuineen helvetin toimivaksi ja soundtrack on mielenkiintoinen tunnelmallisine lauluineen ja groteskisti kokonaisuuteen istuvine jazzeineen. Ja veri roiskuu, mutta hienosti roiskuukin! Ainoastaan loppua venytetään aivan liiaksi, minkä vuoksi Lady Verilumi käy kymmenennen "ratkaisun" koittaessa jo suoraan sanottuna harmillisen itseääntoistavaksi."
