Country: Japan
Directed by Toshiya Fujita
A classic sword fighting film that Quentin Tarantino copied heavily to make his 'Kill Bill' . 'Lady snowblood' summarize very well the rules of a category of vengeance films that became very popular in commercial Asian cinema of 70s and 80s. Choreographic action, a lot of blood sprayed around or spectacular deaths in cases that swords are not involved, some wise master that trains hard , often merciless, the person who wants to get revenge, the revenge that always is delivered as a sort of almost divine justice etc. Nothing too impressive but a film that is worth to watch and to be on this list as it was quite influenced for a entire genre
