Zero Woman: Red Handcuffs (1974)




Disgraced policewoman Miki Sugimoto is given a chance to redeem herself if she will infiltrate a gang of kidnappers and rescue a high ranking politicians daughter.
  Director Yukio Noda pretty much throws everything at the screen  in this enjoyable example of Japanese trash cinema at it's  most wild. Characters don't just bleed when they're shot they literally erupt geysers of blood, and the violence is so over the top as to almost go beyond shocking.
 There are some rather large holes in the plot at times and logic does seem to take a back seat in many of the characters actions but  it all just adds to the overall madness of the whole thing.
  Politically incorrect to the extreme and wildly over the top, this is what the Japanese do best.
