Description: Obscure Yukari Oshima action-rape revenge film from later in her career.  Not one of her better films and somewhat dull from an action standpoint but still interesting to watch as a curio piece for Yukari Oshima fans.  Rip is from Taiwanese TV(?).  Hard coded white English Subtitles. There’s also another movie with the same title, but another year – Vengeance Is Mine (1988)

Angel Lee (Yukari) is a just-married Asian-American whose honeymoon in HK is cut short by a home invasion by five masked men.  What starts as a robbery of her and her wealthy husband quickly escalates to his murder and her rape.  Despite the HK movie industry’s history of lewdness, this assault is depicted as a sad and hateful crime.  Once again, one is struck by Yukari’s striking ability to drain sexuality out of such a scene.  With her husband dead, the way is clear for one of Yukari’s most magnificent performances.  Brimming with bitterness and hatred, she sweats, bleeds and thrusts her suffering in the viewer’s face.  This is the kind of movie in which one of the assailants is shot, point blank, in the head.  His blood spatters over Yukari’s face.  She doesn’t flinch.  In other scenes she conjures up hate stares of visceral, chilling intensity.
