Director: Teruo Ishii
Cast: Hoki Tokuda, Makoto Satō, Meiko Kaji, Yoshi Katō
A bizarre blend of the female Yakuza film and traditional Japanese ghost story, with a strong dash of grotesque-erotica, Blind Woman’s Curse features eye-popping visuals, sensational fight sequences and the gorgeous Meiko Kaji (Lady Snowblood, Stray Cat Rock), in her first major role. When a woman is blinded in a duel with a leader of the Tachibana Yakuza clan, she sets our for revenge, leaving behind a trail of dead Yakuza girls, their dragon tattoos skinned from their bodies.
