The third installment of the Zero Woman series is perhaps it's weakest installment, but the vulnerable, human portrayal of the Asian assassin is pulled off well by the stunning Kumiko Takeda. The film has a very slow pacing to it, but it highlights the tension between the Zero Woman and her rival, Katsumura (played by Keiji Matsuda). The sex is minimal in this film, but there is more violence then all of the previous installments, which may be refreshing to some viewers. Takeda's Zero Woman is a determined, solemn young girl who is tired of killing and wants to walk away from it all. It is this beautiful actress that carries the film.

Zero Woman
(1995)
A Brilliant Piece Of Erotic Cinema
19 February 2001
Zero Woman 2 is one of the most thrilling pieces of erotic action cinema that I have ever seen. Though the production is extremely low budget, you must give director Daisuke Gotoh for pulling off an extraordinary film an an incredibly low budget. The film's plot concerns a young assassin named Rei(played by the gorgeous Natsuki Ozawa). Ozawa plays her part with an expert tough-girl image and a raw sexuality. Some of the highlights include a scene where our buxom heroine is drugged and taken advantage of by an evil butcher and an intense bullet removal scene that will have you biting your knuckles! If you're in the mood for a violent, sexy, dark action flick done Hong-Kong style, then Zero Woman 2 is the film you want.
