Overview

Lotus never had a chance. Her mother seethed with anger at being unjustly imprisoned for turning her attemped rapist into a cyclops. Mother repeatedly asked her good friend and fellow prisoner, Pickpocket, to urge Lotus to take revenge for her as an adult. Lotus is given to a monastery and grows up there, but twenty years of peace and love make no impression on Lotus, who skips classes to practice pole and sword skills. Joining forces with Pickpocket and Big Rat, Lotus gets her chance at revenge.

Viewing Notes

Very good Angela Mao flick that’s essentially the same story as Lady Snowblood, which is not a bad thing. Some excellent fighting sequences between a great cast of characters.

Meant to write a little more on this one. Definitely worth seeking out. It’s in one of the two Angela Mao sets I have. Lots of great fighting sequences. She’s a joy to watch kicking ass.
