1973. Lady Snowblood recounts the tale of Yuki, a woman who seeks vengeance upon three people who raped her mother and killed her father and brother. It's not business as usual in feudal Japan as bodies are cut in half, limbs are slashed, and blood jet sprays from arteries in the wake of Yuki's revenge.

Directed by Toshiya Fujita and starring Meiko Kaji, the film is based on the manga series of the same name. Lady Snowblood was a gigantic inspiration for Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill.
