Although the name Meiko Kaji may be unheard of to many movie lovers her voice might sound awfully familiar. Taking the iconic role of Lady Snowblood in the movie of the same name where she hacks and slashes her way to vengeance she also sang the main theme Shura No Hana aka Flower of Carnage.
One of the greatest female revenge stories of all time, Female Prisoner Scorpion, gets a spectacular Limited Edition release from Arrow Video with brand new 2K restorations of all four films in one stunning box set. An absolute must have for fans of both Japanese and exploitation cinema.
I love a good samurai hack and slasher. And so too it seems does Quentin Tarantino, being that his tale of brutal and bloody revenge – Kill Bill – was influenced heavily by this cult classic from 1973, Lady Snowblood.
Arrow Films is pleased to announce that Monday Sept. 24th will see the hugely influential Lady Snowblood films lovingly restored and released on Blu-ray for the very first time, anywhere in the world.
