"Female Yaksha" Sun Erniang
Dark, cynical Japanese epic brought to U.S. in a dubbed version by shlockmeister Harry Novak. Still, this gory, sexy epic is made with style and interesting for to compare to "Yojimbo" and other masterworks of the form.
Koshikei relata las vicisitudes de R, un joven coreano que es acusado de violar y matar a dos mujeres y, por tanto, condenado a morir en la horca. Pero algo falla en la ejecución: R sobrevive y se queda amnésico. El comité organizador decide que, para que la ejecución sea eficaz, primero hay que conseguir que R recuerde quién es y lo que ha hecho.
