Pistol Ópera
Special Effects
Miyuki Minazuki, apelidada de “Gata de Rua,” é a “Número 3” no Sindicato de Assassinos. Ela mora com sua avó, e sua arma preferida é uma pistola. Gata de Rua recebe suas ordens de Sayoko Uekyo, uma mulher enigmática de vestido branco. Ela parece confortável com sua posição no ranking, mas a rivalidade se intensifica quando o misterioso “Número 1,” apelidado de “100 Olhos,” começa a atacar os outros assassinos que estão no topo da hierarquia. Quando Sayoko informa Gata de Rua de que 100 Olhos agora é um alvo para o Sindicato, surge a oportunidade para matá-lo e assumir o primeiro lugar. Espécie de remake e continuação de A Marca do Assassino (Goro Hanada, protagonista em 1967, é agora “Número 0,” um conselheiro de Gata de Rua), o filme aplica o estilo tardio de Suzuki à matriz dos filmes de gângster que ele fazia na Nikkatsu, resultando num painel delirante de cores e ritmos, um balé ou uma ópera de sedução e morte.
